Husbands beard is driving me crazy!!!

🌼Flower Child🌼 • Married♡
My husband has been growing his beard out for the past 9 months. He wants to keep growing it out, and I support that. Whatever makes him feel good, and boosts his self confidence is fine with me. But it has gotten to be a little overwhelming lately. I'm constantly having to pull peices out of my mouth during "our intimate time" and it's always getting caught in my eyelashes. He also has this nervous/bored fit going on were he picks at it. He pulls pieces out and rips the tips off, because he says they have split ends. I told him that your not supposed to break your hair off. He's mad because it has stopped growing and it looks like a tree or something it's all sprawled out. He's even started having some bald spots in it. I told him if he would just trim it a little it would look nice and start growing again. I don't know what to do. Have any of you ever been through this before?
