Boyfriends hair

I’m so angry right now it’s unbeliveable My partner works from home and he has long hair shoulder length which is usually tied up (but looks better down). Today he said to me before I went to work that he was gonna go to the barbers and get a tiny bit chopped off about 2cms just to tidy it up when he called his mother this morning to say he’s He’s going out and if he’s needed he’s on his mobile and he’s going to town to go to barbers she said come down mine and I’ll take you with your father speaking to his cut at the same time. His mother has never been happy with it with him having long hair and as always said for him to cut it short but he has always said no and me 2 when she has tried to get me involved.

So this morning when he went with his mother and father the barbers he thinks (and me) that they got the barber to cut it shorter than what he wanted I think it looks about 6 inches it’s now just under his ears and now he can just about to tie up and he is really annoyed about it.

He refused to pay the barber because of how short they cut it and just walked out (strange he didn’t hit him) and his mum txt me in work saying how embarrassed she was of his behaviour and that she paid his bill. I wanna text her back and say about you blame him because of what happened.

Need some advice what would you do

Presumably he could see it was being cut shorter, I've never seen a hairdresser or barbers where you aren't sat in front of the mirror. Why did he not stop the barber when he could see how much he was going to cut?

This is all very odd if it happened.

BlancheM · 20/09/2018 21:39

God love you OP, there have been some funny threads lately but this one is a cut above.
But unless the barber was Edwards scissorhands then I'm sure the new 'do doesn't warrant all this drama!

BusterGonad · 20/09/2018 21:53

He earns that amount and goes to a scabby second rate barber that's family run? Skin flint I say. Maybe next time he needs to treat himself to a proper salon and leave Mummy and Daddy at home.

Padparadscha · 20/09/2018 21:58

Seems like the op will be back soon anyway, with another thread about her boyfriend dramaz. It’s like the novella no one asked for (well, maybe some shitrag like the Mail).

theOtherPamAyres · 20/09/2018 22:11

it’s now just under his ears

His mum commanded the barber to give him to have a bob cut?

Mums know best, I suppose Confused

Ellie56 · 20/09/2018 22:16
Hmm
PussGirl · 20/09/2018 22:23

Why did he even mention to his mum he was going?

If the barber (a family member you said) would have dobbed him in anyway then he needs a new barber.

WTBE · 20/09/2018 22:31

Omg like no way did they really cut his hair?

Totes kick em in the balls xoxo

JustHereForThePooStories · 20/09/2018 22:33

It’s unevan

Poor Evan will have to learn that his hair doesn’t define him.

Doobigetta · 20/09/2018 22:34

it’s not juice plus at all and last tax year he earnt 125k and we both are 32

Is he a quite shit footballer? Because otherwise this story makes no sense.

Ontheboardwalk · 20/09/2018 22:36

Ok I’ll admit I’ve had some dodgy hair cuts in the past and sat there quietly however if I wanted 2cms and they started cutting 6 inches I’d have something to say before the first cut

CoughLaughFart · 20/09/2018 22:42

So if the hairdresser had chopped a big chunk you’d say ‘I didn’t want that much off - leave the rest longer’?

Teenagemaw · 20/09/2018 23:05

Unevan, is that the barber's name??

Hi Sharon Wink

babysharkdodododododododo · 20/09/2018 23:16

Belly laughing in bed trying not to wake DH at the thought of a grown man assaulting his barber for being in cahoots with his parents about an over-zealous haircut.

Preference of course but I hate long hair like that on a man so am with the barber & parent combo on this one.

Orlandointhewilderness · 20/09/2018 23:23

oh dear Lord.

OP, YABU.

RollaCola84 · 21/09/2018 00:44

Can't sleep because I have a cough/cold, laughing makes coughing worse. Grin

SavageBeauty73 · 21/09/2018 00:56

Are you 12?

Justawaterformeplease · 21/09/2018 00:59

Did he snap and fart or t rex? Where was Sharon?

DelilahandDaisy · 21/09/2018 01:01

What has his hair got to do with you? It is his hair. He can be angry, or secretly pleased, or amused, or WHATEVER... It is HIS hair. Are you always this fucking weird? —maybe it did look fucking better anyway, weirdo—

BusterGonad · 21/09/2018 01:29

I'm loving this thread, I'm feeling very poorly today and this has really cheered me up! Grin
