Long Hair, Baby, and Husband

Laura

So I want to get my hair cut short, like a little above my shoulders, but still long enough to throw up into a ponytail. My husband on the other hand is obsessed with long hair. I guess it stems from his mother and sister having long hair (my husband's father is obsessed with females having long hair as well). I've always had control over how I wanted my haircut, even as a young girl. However, I have kept my hair long for my husband, but we have a daughter now and she loves to pull my hair. It's one of the main reasons for why I want to chop it off. Plus, I never have time to do my hair, so it ends up in a ponytail. My hair needs serious maintenance. My ends are dry and split and my grays are showing (I'm only 25). I want to say the hell with it and go to the salon and get my hair done without my husband's weird obsession and input influencing my decision. Ladies what should I do?
