[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, can you casually accompany her to the hair salon and comment on a magazine with various hair styles?[/quote]

[b]Am I the only one who would be way more annoyed with passive aggressive moves like this one than knowing my husband wasn't a fan of my haircut? I really dislike it when DH doesn't like something I'm doing but will beat around the bush so that he has plausible deniability, rather than just saying what he thinks.[/b] I want to know where I stand rather than having to wonder.

I'm a guy, and the conversation wouldn't be about hair, but I totally agree about hating the passive aggressive communication style. You can be direct and matter-of-fact without being accusatory or demanding. That kind of communication is way better than hinting or indirectly stating preferences and hoping your spouse reads your mind.

Side note: People seems confused about passive aggression. I haven't seen a single passive aggressive suggestion on here, just suggestions for white lies and hints. Passive aggressive would be DH pretending to confuse his wife for a man, or saying things like "I was going to buy you a beautiful hair barrette, but then I realized that you cut your hair too short for things like that."

You may prefer direct communication, but that doesn't automatically make all indirect communication "passive aggressive".[/quote]
