[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP did you marry your wife for the person she is or for her hair?

Also, to the One PP accusing the other about making it all about them: you would be surprised how many men attach long hair as some requisite of feminity" and loathe it on their wives, regardless of how good shorter hair may look on them.

Now, OP, here's my two cents: communicate with your wife. Maybe she loves her new shorter hair. [b]As a woman who went from very long hair to a pixie cut and loved it, I'll say this: having short hair can make a woman feel very empowered and stylish. Because *You* don't like it doesn't mean that she doesn't feel fabulous, and before you lodge your opinion /complain, please take some time to explore how she feels.[/b] She may be inching shorter because she knows you prefer the longer hair, but SHE likes it shorter.

Also take some time to explore your ow bias. Is it that you prefer the longer hair on her, or that you tie it to femininity, etc.

I don't think men know or appreciate how much a new hairstyle can make a woman feel fabulous. [/quote]

My husband made "mom hair" cracks, which pissed me off, because I have had a pixie in the past (which he knows; I had short hair when I met him), and I love having short hair.  I think it's more flattering on me and it makes me feel chic.  And everyone else compliments my hair (even when it would be easy not to say anything).  My mom, who would tell me honestly if it didn't look good, thinks it looks great short.  But the mom-hair comments are insulting and hurtful and incredibly unlikely to make me want to change my hairstyle.  [/quote]

People complimenting your short hair make you want to keep it short. 
People criticizing your short hair makes you want to keep it short.

I think I know where you're going with this. [/quote]
