[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know I am stepping into a landmine, but here goes:

My DW is a beautiful woman, she is as beautiful to me as the day we met.  Lately, she has been coming home from the salon with shorter and shorter hair.  To be brutally honest here (since we are anonymous) I don't think it looks good on her in general, and I don't like how she looks with short hair.  Part of me thinks I should do the typical "you look great honey!" when she comes back, but then again, if I were doing something that was a turn-off for her that I could fix - like growing a beard she didn't like - I would want her to tell me.

Is it as simple as saying "I love your hair, but I think you look sexier when it is longer?"[/quote]

I can recognize my husband's writing anywhere, otherwise I would assume that you are him.

We have had exactly this conversation, and what he said was, "Wife, you are a beautiful woman who looks amazing no matter what you do, but I miss your sexy long hair." I didn't get upset or take it personally, because he said it in a way that did not imply that I look like crap now that my hair is not a sexy mane and didn't ask me to change my look in order to please him.

I think it's worth considering WHY she cut her hair shorter, though. She might have a crappy stylist who interprets "clean up the ends" to mean "take off an inch or three." Me, I got it cut because it was taking me a lot longer in the morning to manage it than I had to spare. The shorter hair is easier to take care of. Maybe that's the case with your wife, maybe not.
