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

I hadn't finished my post.

Grown men don't go to the barbers with their parents as a rule. I don't know a single adult who would do this.

Even if they do, because it's run by family, they tell the barber what cut they want, not their mother.

Even if the mother has told the barber, and assuming your dp didn't hear, as soon as the barber started cutting, your dp would say 'no thanks'

Is the actual problem that your dp is scared of his mother, who controls his life? That would have got different responses.

^Hahhaaaaaaa

greendale17 · 21/09/2018 08:23

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

^Yeah of course you do (!). OP can’t even spell even correctly

KlutzyDraconequus · 21/09/2018 08:27

Use a little of that £125k for a few English lessons OP.
It'll make your writing so much better and easier to sell to shit tier newspapers.

The mum being there is a red herring. You have no proof she interfered at all (with the exception of saying for him to come along to the family barber while his dad was also getting a cut - not unusual).

So, after your massive drip feed we now know the cut is too short, uneven and untidy.

I think he was within his rights not to pay. He would have been unreasonable to punch the barber (no matter what the barber said about it being nicer that way).

Not sure what advice you need? Recommendation for extensions? Hats?

or he could get a jazzy headpiece like your brilliant username

Actually if a hairdresser cut my shoulder length hair to my ears, I think I’d be inclined to hit her (not saying I would but come on)! That is not a trim that’s a new style.

Is it because we are talking about a man with long hair people think he has less right to be annoyed.
Op if his mother is controlling he needs to keep his distance from her.

MrsFoxPlus4 · 21/09/2018 08:47

Imagine being 32 going to the barbers with your mum and she demands you get a bob hahahaha! I hope he looks like a mushroom 😭 does his mum come round and wipe his arse too 😂

Happygummibear · 21/09/2018 09:09

He just needs to accessorize!

giveyourselfashiny3 · 21/09/2018 09:11

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well....with all his money, I'm sure he could invest in some new clobber.

LuluJakey1 · 21/09/2018 16:03

This is the knd of thing popular with Y8 and Y9 at the moment. Has he considered this?

wizzywig · 21/09/2018 16:06

I need to see sad face picture on the daily mail

GlassSuppers · 21/09/2018 16:18

This thread was funny before the pics appeared. Now it's bloody hilarious!

Sorry OP.

CaptainCabinets · 21/09/2018 16:26

Looks fine to me?

Gazelda · 21/09/2018 16:40

My MIL once conspired with my hairdresser to give me a Kylie perm. Imagine my shock when I got home and looked in the mirror!

bobisbored · 21/09/2018 16:43

Is he 12?

Alicatz66 · 21/09/2018 16:44

Extensions

Northernparent68 · 21/09/2018 17:14

Op, as has been said the family dynamic is odd, please get some counselling, it’s all unhealthy

CoughLaughFart · 21/09/2018 23:58

I hope the pillocks posted laughing faces have their heads shaved during the night.

trojanpony · 22/09/2018 00:55

Is he partially sighted or just thick?

How did he not notice 6inches of hair was being removed rather than the agreed 2cm

TerfsUp · 22/09/2018 08:07

I hope the pillocks posted laughing faces have their heads shaved during the night.

giveyourselfashiny3 · 22/09/2018 17:19

No one shaved my hair in the night and I'm still laughing.
