do at-home insemination kits work?
It’s astonishing how some partners feel entitled to dictate their significant others’ hairstyles. It seems that many men not only have preferences but also impose restrictions on their wives when it comes to haircuts. Seriously, how is this still a thing?
There’s a whole contingent of guys who just don’t seem to get that women have the right to style their hair however they please. And yes, personal autonomy absolutely applies to hair decisions! Someone needs to educate these men before they get the wake-up call they deserve.
Take this confession: “My partner hates to see a plus-sized woman with short hair. He’s not fond of overweight women in general, yet he tells me to improve my body image while I struggle with health issues related to my weight.”
Or another one: “I feel so controlled by my partner that I keep my hair long, even though I can’t stand it. I’m stuck in old, worn-out clothes, only leaving the house when he wants to go out. When I mention I don’t have dressy outfits, he wonders why.”
Sometimes, though, it’s the partner who has the strong opinion. One woman mentioned, “My husband wants me to cut my hair short, but my boyfriend finds my long hair sexy. So, I’m keeping it long.”
Another shared, “I cut my hair too short, and my partner didn’t like it. I don’t like it either, but I have to pretend I do.”
It’s baffling to see how some men project their insecurities onto their wives. One woman realized her partner hasn’t been the same since she made a significant haircut. “He prefers long, curly hair, and it hit me that he hasn’t loved me the same since.”
Another confession revealed, “My husband told me he wouldn’t find me attractive if I cut my hair short. I’m heading to the salon tomorrow. What a jerk!”
And what’s with the insistence on long hair? One man even complained, “My wife cut her gorgeous long hair short, and now she looks ridiculous. I don’t know how to tell her.”
If your family has opinions about your hair, it might be time for a change. Ladies, don’t let anyone—be it a partner or family member—dictate how you wear your hair. If they can’t find you attractive, that’s their issue, not yours. Perhaps they should seek therapy while you treat yourself to the hairstyle you’ve always wanted.
