Wife wants to go short?

So after 8 years of super short pixies, short crops, and bobs, the wife finally let her hair grow long over the last 3 years. It's now made it to bra length. I've always been a fan of shorter styles, and she has cut it in different short styles cuz she knew i lied them. But the long look on her is quite attractive...i've really grown to like it. She'll look fabulous no matter what she does.

I know too many women who disappointed their husbands when they cut off their long hair, and their only response was "I didn't know you liked it that much."  So tell her that you've grown to like it long and ask her if she'd be willing to keep it long for a little while more. 

     Yeah, I confess to being shocked seeing YOU here, Arch. But really, I do understand it. At the risk of offending some women here, long hair just flat out IS sensual and youthful on *most* women of any age. And, observing a gal taking her hair down is priceless. My brother recently admitted that he is beginning to understand the allure of length, since his own fiance has grown hers out long. He's sounding like me, a thoroughly smitten man, sad to say. (lol) Yes, my own wife looked good with some of her short cuts of yesteryear, and they *were* an interesting change (I convinced myself of that! lol), but her long tresses truly bring out her beauty dauntingly. And she is often mistaken for being 10 years younger. She's nearing 50. *She* hates her old crop cut photos now.      Anyway, Arch, IMO you should consider talking to her about your new-found love for her long hair. Tell her that no matter what she does, you'll love her and find her hot, but that you will be sad if she goes short, and that part of you will *always* yearn for the stunning locks that she now has. You have a right to your own feelings!

I posted on the short hair board already, but she went ahead and cut it. I didn't want her to, but it turned out very cute on her. The best part was her smile afterwards cuz she was so happy how it turned out. Smiles and happiness are more valuable to me.

Oh yeah, I told her how I liked it. But she had grown bored with it and said she was tired of it. I asked about 6 times if she was sure before she did it. She was beaming afterwards and hasn't stopped since. It was fun while it lasted, but she's pretty either way. I'll probably be posting some edited pics for the guys on the short hair board if anyone wants to see. It's short...but it's cute.

You are correct Bob...I was somewhat disappointed. I'm a short hair fan...no doubt about it. I was even surprised myself that I had grown so fond of her long hair. I really liked it long, but as a short hair fan, I knew that i'd like it short too. Perhaps I was disappointed because i knew it would be so long before it was that length again. I don't know?  She wanted, she got it, I told her it was her call. I too like bobs a little shorter in the front, so obviously i didn't push my likes on her. She wanted the front like that because she really likes the "aeon flux" style...says it's funky.  You're right, the relationship is more important than my preferences.
