Well, how should it be handled pumpkins?
I find openness and directness to be the most effective way of resolving issues in relationships. Otherwise it festers.
I would hope my SO would be just as open with me in a similar situation, out of respect.

You're speaking ideally. IRL you have to be a "politician" in these situations.

Exactly. She may be embarrassed but shouldn't be upset. You are only helping her out.

Directness is a relationship killer.
My SO still remembers some shitass comment I made to her when we dated.

Sure you can say something "cute" so its not as offensive, but still it's essentially the same thing.

Eh maybe it just depends on how serious the issue. Obviously biting your tongue saves you a lot of trouble in most situations

I get that but if you know your SO well enough, you should be able to communicate effectively enough to pull it off without too much damage control.

Like sleeping with one eye open and never turning your back.

I think I would just say it. Everytime I was trying to have a conversation with her, my focus would go straight to the hair

Just repeatedly tell her she has something on her face. She'll go look in the mirror and realize it's hair. She'll be really embarrassed but at least she'll think you just thought she had something on her face.
I second this.
You should be able to be direct with your SO, esp if they are your spouse.

Tell her a story.
The one about you dating a girl who had a mole on her face with a long hair on it. You took her to a Chinese Restaurant. It was dimly lit.
Waiter comes up and thinks she has a spider on her face. Starts hitting it with his chop sticks and yells "kiwl it, wooks wik John Boy"!

Just be like "You have something on your face."
And she'll be like "Where"
Point to one corner of mouth then slowly drag your finger across your lip.
When she gets to the other side of her mouth/lip just respond, "All there."

My gf has a "best friend" who is legit a borderline 8 IRL. However, she is a dark haired Italian chick who has moderate sideburn action and a slight mustache going on. I keep asking my gf why the fvck she won't tell her "best friend" to get her shite taken care of. She'd be a damn knock-out if it wasn't for that.
Chicks are fvcking stupid. If one of my buddies was walking around with a unibrow or a damn chinstrap you better believe I'd ridicule him until he shaved it.
