Dear skye,

First of all, I feel with you. I would not let go of my hair. Partly because I think shaved hair looks shitty on a woman who does not have a certain face-shape and head-shape (and I don´t have that face-shape - I had such short hair once, and it made me look very boyish. People often mistook me for a boy at that time - I was 17 y.o. and extremely skinny and liked baggy clothes, so...) Partly because part of my work is covering reception for a large international company - having my head shaved would not go over well at all.

Luckily, I knew even before we got together that hubby likes his girls long-haired. *smiles* He even encouraged me a lot when I got together with him (my hair was at that time chin-length, and we all know how hard growing the part between chin-long and shoulder-length is, because it looks really odd - too short to tie them in a ponytail, too long to create a nice short-haired style)!

I agree that you should have spoken to him when it first came up. I know that does not help the issue at hand anymore, but it might be a good thing to remember for the future.

Another point I´d make, even though it will probably make old-schoolers and their lot angry with me:
- You are not happy about having your hair cut. But as it´s a one-time thing, as you say you will not have trouble in your working/daily life because of it, etc., that would be acceptable for you, because you are willing to do it for him.
- What made me pause is the fact that your dom is not happy about the idea, either, but is willing to go through with it because it is a "rule" in your crowd.
Well.

Am I ever glad that I met a man who likes to do his own thing, without trying to fit into rules made by others!

What I really fail to understand is why your dom will submit to a rule made by others in an issue regarding his very own sub and lovelife.

One of the things I adore most about hubby is that he does with his life and decisions as he wishes, not as someone else wishes.

I don´t think I would respect him as much if I witnessed him doing things with me that he himself does not want, just in order to meet somebody else´s standards.
I really don´t.

Kind regards
Arria
