When it comes to a new hair change, there will always be fans and haters. The only thing that matters? That you are happy with it.
It’s something Reddit user ‘badhair1020210’, let’s call her Mary, discovered recently. She loves her new long bob, but her boyfriend doesn’t – and he’s not being quiet or subtle about it.
“My boyfriend (22) has always been a sucker for long hair. When we met my hair was down to my waist and he loved it. He really liked playing with it and very obviously liked it a lot,” Mary wrote.
“I had a haircut last week and got myself a long bob. That was over 10 inches of hair completely gone (and donated). My boyfriend knew about this in advance and while he tried to discourage me from getting my hair cut, he knew that I was really tired of having to care for really long hair. He also knew that I was going to cut off over 10 inches, so it’s not like I lied to him about what was going to happen. He knew.”
Watch: All the short hair inspiration you need. Post continues after video.
“Immediately after I returned from the hairdresser, his face fell and it was really obvious that he hated it. I chalked it up to him being shocked because he’s never seen me like this before, but I liked my haircut and told him so. I then left him to his own devices and processing, figuring that it might take some time.”

If the guy ever knew that hair donation charities are scams, he'd have been even more upset. I don't think the reaction was controlling at all. The man was hurt, period. Most women have no clue how long hair turns many of us guys on, and to have it vanish is one fell swoop is demoralizing, esp. if it is a choice and not a necessity.
Sorry if this makes no sense, but human attraction in general is irrational, though very real.
Kind of a stupid post. She knew her boyfriend likes long hair, she tells him in advance and knows he is not going to like it. She chops off most of her hair and expects him to like it. Surprise! He is hurt. She just said, "F@$% You", I don't care what you think, I am choosing to make myself less attractive to you. And now she is surprised, and feels bad, but it is his fault because she warned him. Duh! No wonder guys say we are clueless. Honestly if he told you he was going to sleep with an old girlfriend, told you in advance and you asked him not to... Would you be ok with him coming back after he slept with her and said, "Get over it, I told you in advance. It's my penis and I'll have sex with an old girlfriend, if I want to." It's your issue, not mine. I like my husband's beard. He would not shave it off as he knows how I feel. How could I ask him to respect me if I will not respect him? Woman needs to be loved, men need to be respected to feel secure in the relationship. She just told him that she has no respect for him. think she was trying to tell him there is no future in the relationship. He was trying to hang on and salvage it. He should just accept she is not the right girl for him and just move on. Better he knows now, rather than after he marries her. That relationship is not going to last, better than having to go through a divorce later.
