Dumped over a hair cut?

Question

Hello all and merry Christmas!
I'm 21 and I've wanted a mohawk my entire life. I HATE having hair, it would be so much easier if I cut it off..
But I haven't because I think my bf will dump me if I cut my hair. When ever I bring it up he gets annoyed and says he'd rather I not chop it off. He just doesn't understand how frustrating my hair is! I'm so fed up that I am actually going to get it cut off(kind of like miley cyrus), but I'm pretty sure he's going to leave me afterwards. We've been together on and off for 4 years, throwing away all that time makes me angry but if he's going to be that immature, then whatever. I don't need him./end rant
How would you handle this situation? Would you or your SO react the same way over a dang haircut? Or some other minor physical modification?

Answer

Someone may jump on me for this but.. The first thing I thought was not 'oh, he's an asshole!', it was 'they need some better.communication..'. My fiancée and I have two different opinions on what style looks better on me. I tend to be a bit more dramatic and alternative in my style (piercings, tattoos, heavier make up, bright random hair colors, ect.) ,where as, he prefers when I wear a more natural look (little to no make up, plain nails, piercings out, black hair, ect.). It's not that he thinks I look bad but it's what he prefers.. Before I get a tattoo done or a new piercing, hell even dye my hair, I ALWAYS ask for his opinion and take it into consideration. However in the end I still do what I want to do, and he still loves me no matter what.

Answer

I change my hair all the time, color and cut. If my SO was going to leave me over my hair is leave him bc he's immature and clearly doesn't care about me that much. It's just hair, it grows back. I don't even ask my SO, in fact just last week I cut off about 5 inches without telling him, he didn't say anything about it even tho I know he likes long hair best. He just said I'm beautiful.

Answer

This was my hair before/after I chopped it off. My man loves long dark hair. I don't always. Sometimes I get bored and need a drastic change. He always bears with me over the year it usually takes to grow back. The last time I cut it I totally did the Miley Cyrus cut. He hated it But never stopped loving me.

Answer

If he wanting to leave you over a simple haircut then he obviously was never yours fully to begin with...nothing should come between yal especially since yal been together for 4yrs..

Does he know hair does grow back ???

Answer

It's your body and you can do what you want. If my boyfriend dumped me over something as silly as a haircut then I wouldn't want him anyway.

Answer

Maybe you can ease him into it by going shorter little by little

Answer

I your boyfriend thinks he has a right to control your hair then he isn't a keeper anyway.

Cut it, if he doesn't like it at first, he'll get used to it.  If he prefers it longer, but isn't a jerk about it, then maybe consider it growing it out a little longer. It's your hair, do what you want.

Answer

If he loves you he shouldnt care what you do to your hair. All my husband says about my hair is to not be bald lol. My hair is cut like Miley's when she first got it cut (the red in my picture is a wig) and I love having it cut like that!! Its easy to manage!! And its cute!! If he has a problem with it just tell him "its hair, it'll grow back" lol thats like my motto (:
