Husband getting haircut from another woman

179 replies

Am I losing my mind over nothing or did he cross a line?
My husband spent the night at his brothers house and the next day came home with a new haircut (terrible buzz cut, one length all the way round, looks like a kiwi fruit).
I asked him who did it and he said it was his brothers girlfriend. She’s no hairdresser. The haircuts I’ve given him in the past were just as bad but at least I did them. I’ve always said she’s a little too friendly with my husband. A bit of a pick me girl. He’s never seen it and never shown any interest during family gatherings.
I feel betrayed. I feel embarrassed. Surely she thought that she’s better than me and that I’m a useless wife that can’t even cut my husbands hair?! She’s a nice girl and we get on but I feel like that kind of stuff should be done by me or the hairdresser. No one else. Maybe his mum if push comes to shove. Why not go to the barber or ask me? Why ask her? I’m so upset and he’s saying I’m overreacting.

What is a 'pick me girl'?

It's the cool wife before she gets married

NoMichaelNo · 24/07/2022 16:13

I think you're nuts OP, it's a haircut not a hand job.

RightOnTheEdge · 24/07/2022 16:15

🤣🤣🤣 Bloody hell, that's dramatic!
Massive over reaction OP, you sound like a teenager.

IncompleteSenten · 24/07/2022 16:17

I don't really see a hair cut as an intimate act.

Do you have reason to not trust him in the company of women? Has he behaved inappropriately in the past?

twoandcooplease · 24/07/2022 16:23

Where's the threads that ask what your funniest MN quotes are? This needs to be added

A fucking kiwi fruit

AllFreeOwls · 24/07/2022 16:25

Does sounds like a bit of an overreaction OP, to feel betrayed about this.

MacKenzieMcHale · 24/07/2022 16:25

Unless she gave him a blow job as well as a buzz cut you're really overreacting.

WhenISnappedAndFarted · 24/07/2022 16:26

Totally overreacting.

Why would it be if push comes to shove with his Mum as well? It's his Mum!

Soggycrisps · 24/07/2022 16:26

If it was his pubes maybe you'd have a point.

UnimpeachableBravery · 24/07/2022 16:28

Wait, does not being able to cut your husbands hair make you a useless wife?

girlmom21 · 24/07/2022 16:29

You are being a big dramatic but how did it come about and why did he think it was a good idea?

If you're not comfortable with their boundaries though that's something to resolve with him, not her.

Draughtycatflapreturns · 24/07/2022 16:31

You’re ‘so embarrassed’. He had a haircut. It’s not like he had an emergency shit round the back of Argos.

EverydayIsPJday · 24/07/2022 16:31

Kiwi fruit...pubes...Mumsnet gold. Needed this today thanks!

Randomthoughts992 · 24/07/2022 16:32

you sound crazy...

Soubriquet · 24/07/2022 16:32

You’re being ridiculous

Chikapu · 24/07/2022 16:33

I feel betrayed. I feel embarrassed

Was it his pubic hair she cut?

Cheeptweet · 24/07/2022 16:33

Ha, oh dear.

Getting a haircut is intimate now ? Did she use her vulva to cut it ?

DorothyZbornakIsAQueen · 24/07/2022 16:34

Jesus christ OP. Come on. You know you're being daft here.

She shaved his head. She never gave him head ffs.

Shedcity · 24/07/2022 16:37

I wouldn’t like my husband getting a haircut from a pick me girl that I’d already expressed concern about
so I do think he should’ve been more sensitive to that

but it’s his brothers gf? Surely that rules her out in all but the most dysfunctional families

I feel like your issues are with all the wrong things here. Somehow you’ve made it about your skill level as a hairdresser which makes this a really odd post

Chikapu · 24/07/2022 16:38

The only thing you should feel embarrassed about is your own reaction btw, his hair isn't your property, it isn't sacred to your marriage, it isn't the source of his strength, it's fucking hair.

Flidina · 24/07/2022 16:38

Definitely over reacting

Herejustforthisone · 24/07/2022 16:39

Kiwi fruit is brilliant. I know exactly what he looks like.

100problems · 24/07/2022 16:40

PMSL at kiwi fruit.

otherwise yep, over reaction
