To tell my DH he’s going bald?

[SubParbanMum]

DH has a great head of hair, lovely colour and thick. But for the last couple of months I’ve noticed a lot of hair on the bathroom floor after he has a shower and have made jokes about whether he’s going bald.

Today, I was standing on a step above him and noticed the hair at his crown was looking pretty thin and I could see a lot more scalp than I would expect.

I think he would be devastated if he lost his hair but should I tell him or should I let him figure it out?

I think you should tell him and apologise for making jokes about it.

Thanks everyone. Would a hairdresser ever mention it?

Let it go

Please don’t say anything to him!

I doubt a hairdresser would say anything for the same reasons you shouldn’t.

he would feel self conscious and hurt.

I genuinely think there's no point in bringing up things that people can't change. It's totally different to having some food stuck in your teeth. It's just one of those things that happens to men as they grow older sometimes, it can't be helped and really, who cares? There's no point in making it a discussion point at your weekly meetings.

Is there a reason why he can't see the hair on the shower floor for himself, or notice that he's putting on weight?

I'm pretty sure he must know

I’ve said I won’t mention it..although 90% sure when he realises he’ll ask me why I didn’t tell him.

@Regularsizedrudy ?? It’s a question. Hoping the answer is no.

like I said, I don’t care at all. But he will and will want to find a way to disguise it or try to do something about it.

He probably knows, but doesn’t want to. A shaved head’s the best, & a far better look than a comb over, or the merry monk.

I'd say to him like it's no big deal 'oh when I was on a step the other day I noticed you were going a little bit thin on top, I wasn't sure if you'd want me to mention it or not but decided you'd probably rather know.'

Nobody wants to be walking around with lots of thick hair oblivious to the ever growing bald patch on the back. People say he'd know but my OH didn't - until my mum rudely pointed it out!

I wouldn't tell him. I would wait until he mentions it and then say "Is it? Lean down...oh yes it is a bit. But never mind, you're still a total fox."
