[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, one way around this is to say, "I was looking at a picture of us back when ___ "(like when we were married, or 2004, etc)
"And I forgot you had your hair (long and wavy).  I miss that! Can you do that next time?"

Because asking your wife to do something she did before is not as prickly as asking her to do something "else."

So, think this through.  If the style you like is longer than what she has, say this to her *before* she goes in to get a haircut, not immediately after.

Also, if pressed, just tell her "This is okay but I like the other style better."

My DH has done this with me--he's careful--but I do hear what he's saying.

I do think that in general,[b] "Men want what they married[/b]."  If they dated you when your hair was long and magenta and permed 80s style, then that's what they still like.  I've been married now so long and have ditched the magenta, and then the curls. Losing the perm was hard on him. I try not to ditch the length, but I've also gone gray and it looks good to everyone but him.  Maybe I'll give him 80s hair on Halloween! [/quote]

This is what I've been trying to say to my DW forever.  Imagine you've been ordering the same meal at a restaurant for years.  Then one day they change the recipe without saying a word and expect you to like it, no matter what.

Oh stop. Your wife is not an inanimate object.

The VAST majority of women deal with men changing their hair because most men LOSE their hair. You don’t see us throwing tantrums about it. Quit being a child. [/quote]

Yeah I still have all my hair and workout a lot... She's still getting exactly what she ordered. Also, I don't throw tantrums, I pout in my basement gym.[/quote]
