Dp doesn’t like my new hair style

Had it cut shorter yesterday after seeing a bob style that I liked. He pulled a face and didn’t seem very pleased, said he likes ‘long hair better’. Now I’m feeling like I’m now unattractive to him. What would you do?

I think all men generally prefer longer hair, I wouldn’t sweat it.

If you like the new style keep it, I’m sure there’s the odd thing you don’t like about his style etc but it doesn’t particularly matter overall.

I wouldn’t let it influence your self esteem.

Why? Don’t you want to look nice for your husband? If he got a haircut I didn’t like, I’d tell him.

Haha. I don't have a husband, wife, or partner of any sort.

I have my hair however I like it. I cut it myself. I shaved it off at Christmas and everyone complimented me. It's now grown out to long short (I know what I mean) and I'm loving playing with bands, grips and colours.

Do you live to look attractive to your husband? What if your Husband's fantasy woman is say Salma Hayek - too gorgeous for words, yet you look like Katie Price. Or vice versa. Are you going try and model yourself on what your husband finds attractive. Or, are you going to be confident enough in yourself, to be yourself.
How many men with the most beautiful wives have had affairs, and likewise wives too, regardless of looks?

You can only ever be yourself whether in a relationship or not. The moment you change to please your husband is the moment you have lost yourself.

If you're being is to look good for what your husband wants (and no saying that you want it too because that doesn't tally with the OP) then good luck to you.

I shall be me 😁

Ps what would you achieve by telling your husband that you don't like his new hairstyle and it makes him less attractive to you? I'd hope he'd tell you to sod off and not take a dent to his confidence and live to please you.

Tell him to fuck off and worry about his own hair instead of yours. My ex did the same thing when I cut my hair short he kept asking me if I was going to grow it back out so I kept having it cut short just to spite him he’s an ex for many reason not just because of my hair. I grew it back out of after we split up.

My exh would say this exact thing and I stupidly would keep my hair long. As soon as I left him I got my hair chopped into a bob. Please do what makes you feel confident and happy, don’t let him dictate things like this as it won’t end with just your hair.
