[quote=Anonymous]OP - it's fine that you have a preference with your wife's hair.  A lot of us probably have preferences about our spouse's appearance.  But as many PPs have noted, many women wear their hair shorter as they get older for a variety of reasons.  So before you praise how she looks with long hair, you may want to figure out why she's wearing her hair shorter.  If there is a specific reason she's going shorter, you don't want to make her feel that she's not beautiful if she can't have that hair.  I would love to wear my hair longer, and I'm sure my DH would love it too, but my hair isn't cut out for that anymore.  Getting older and having kids has done a number on my hair.  I also don't have the time to style it in the mornings like I did pre-kids.  So I'm stuck with a mommy-bob.  It has nothing to do with giving up on my appearance or not caring what my DH thinks of me.  I just have to make the best of the hair I have now.

I would treat this the same way you'd handle the "does this make me look fat" question.  Rather than saying "yes, you look fat", you would say "it's not my favorite" or "the other dress looks better." [/quote]
