Any> suggestions/advice?First off, I'd discuss this with your wife....why does she feel this way? I mean, well, I personally think men look freakish and shorn with short hair, but that's just me....maybe your wife has something against long haired men.Is she pushing for a haircut now because of the approaching holidays (her family will disapprove of her long haired husband/it'll mess up the family Christmas picture...sort of thing)? If so, would it be as big a deal in say a month or so once the holiday silliness subsides? If not maybe you can strike a compromise.Is she worried that this will somehow mess up your economic potential ("No one's gonna hire a long haired freak!"). If so please assure her that it is possible to find/retain work and look 'professional' with long hair (my own husband has hair halfway down his back and he's an elementary school teacher!)Second, try to find a picture of a man with the length and style of hair you hope to achieve. Check out the Long hair Men's Site for picture ideas: http://the-light.com/mens/longhair.htmlUltimately, - http://the-light.com/mens/longhair.htmlUltimately, it's your hair and you can do as you will with it....but you have to live with your wife, so you're going to have to work it out with her. You might want to check out the bulletin board on the long haired men's site...I'm pretty sure this subject has probably been discussed there at some point.Good luck!
