To expect dh to notice.............

[Daisysmiles]

I know this has been done before but I need to rant. I spent £40 on a new hairdo this morning..I never get my haircut and never spend any money on myself. Ive been stuck in an unkempt image rut recently..no makeup, brush dragged through hair etc I got married last week and had a makeup lesson so have been making a real attempt to do my nails and makeup and thought it would be a real treat to get my hair done to look nice too.

So I come home and he looks up from the computer and says..shopping took a long time didn't it...and thats it!!! Surely he could at least notice a hair looks nice dear would be even better but maybe that is expecting a bit much!

GRRRRRRRRRRRR

Hair looks fab and Im really pleased with it, just would have been nice to have had it noticed!

YANBU, i'd be pretty peeved off too if i'd gone to all that effort to look good which also benefits him, and he didn't notice! Stand infront of him and refuse to move until he musters up a believeable, albeit late compliment

Men are such arses!

Sadly the only comment I ever get is - 'Ugh, you had a lot chopped off!' Whilst my friends get 'Oh, you've had your hair done, that looks nice!'

I have found that a quick knee in the direction of the testiculatums seems to provoke a more complementary response! And also makes one feel a good deal better.

See if you can get some other man to notice -that'll get him looking properly!

Men just don't notice theese things.

They also never notice if you have lost weight but notice if you have put it on

Who are you doing it for? Him or you?

imo you should only ever change/ alter/ improve your appearance to suit yourself. If you're doing it for him there's no knowing where it will end...

Men, even recently married ones, very rarely notice such things ime.

why didn't you get it cut before you got married?
and why aren't you on your honeymoon?

He's being understated, that's all.

I agree - he will notice you look different, but not why. I always remember my dad would shave off a beard, and I would just think he looked "cleaner" but not why

I'm going for my hair in bit, DH may comment, he may not. I have given up!

Posie.... well not getting it cut before I was married is a whole other story! I went to get it cut...he washed it and fiddled with it and made small talk about it, I said I loved the style, was getting married and just wanted it tidied up, he then started blowdrying it. I didn't think much of it as I have met hairdressers who like to dry a layer cut a layer etc as its very thick...about 10 minutes into the blowdy it occurred to me that he wasn't going to actually cut it..... by which time he had done lots of it and not being the most assertive person in the world I couldn't bring myself to say errr actually wanted it cut!!!! so I paid £15 for a blowdry and skulked away!!!

We were getting married in Malta and were leaving the following day so I didn't have chance to go elsewhere!!!

No honeymoon..no we married abroad so kind of rolled it all into one. We have 2 kids already and family aren't too obliging about looking after them so thought it easier to go without.

Duchesse, I did it for me of course...but still nice to be noticed and get a compliment ocassionally.
