 (Nick Galifianakis for The Post) | Hi, Carolyn: My husband and I have been married 15 years, and about five years ago we nearly got divorced. Lots of therapy later, we are in a better place. During the rough times, I had a pixie haircut I loved. He hated it, and said a) he isn't sexually attracted to me with that cut, and b) he can't stay married to someone he isn't sexually attracted to. I grew back the hair, but always missed it. Now that we are in a better place relationship-wise, I want to cut it short again. He sees this as a return of the bad times, and doesn't understand why I would do the one thing that "blows up our relationship." Which means he thinks of this as a selfish act. I told him a) hair is not responsible for bad times, b) the cut would be different, and c) it is my body. Long hair is hot and requires maintenance so this is not to stick it to my husband, though the therapist did explore this with me. Any suggestions? — Anonymous |
