…did I do the right thing to cut it short? Maybe I made it too short, it is between buzz and pixie, a very short pixie. Felt liberated doing it but I’ve felt ashamed to show it to hubby as I know he doesn’t like short hair on me. I wear it under caps every day, so that hubby doesn’t have to see it. It feels good physically to have done it and emotionally but I feel like I was selfish. Liberated feminist independent wannabe - and on other hand a wife with a tradition loving husband.
It’s such a pull on both sides!
I like to think of my head with short hair like being a blank canvas. To put something on it, caps and scarves of all colours. But I’d like to bare it at home sometimes but hubby…I feel so bad for him. Guilty.
@ZmaGal my husband now told me he has a phobia for my short hair, says I’d remind him of GI Jane . Says even a cap won’t help. That it’s not forbidden in our faith, but he personally doesn’t like it. Sigh… Says why can’t I have a little patience for him… Oh god it’s so frustrating!
That is frustrating. Did you ask him what he’s afraid of happening? Usually when you have a phobia you’re scared of death or harm or something. What is he afraid of? That might help the two of you work it out if that’s what you want
