My husband has being growing his hair for the last six years.Now he says he wants it cut short.Mainly because bit of it at the side have broken off and fall in his face when he has to wear it tied back for work.He says he is fed up with it.
He has said this many times before but seems more determined this time.We've come to a compromise he is going to cut it in June if it's still annoying him.
Any ideas how I can persuade him not too cut his hair.I know it says silly,but the thought of it really upsets me and makes me feel anxious.
He will be the same man with or without hair. If he really wants to cut it, talk it over with him and support him in whatever he decides. It's his head and hair.
I wear my hair the way my girl likes it and she wears hers the way I like it. We dress to please each other, not ourselves. Maybe you can use that approach with him.
My wife would freak out if I cut my hair (or even mentioned it).
Maybe he could wear a cap or just put a bit of gel on it until the broke parts grow back. I'm having to do that right now.
If that fails, maybe it's just getting longer than he likes. Try to talk him into just trimming it a bit.

He needs to use proper hair ties. If he is using straight rubber bands that is the cause of all his broken hair.
Have you tried to teach him how to care for his hair?
Thank you for all the replies.I've come to a compromise with my husband.He is going to try combing his hair when went rather than brushing it has we think this is causing the breakage.Also if he still wants short hair by summer his going to go for a medium length just above the shoulders like he use to have ,but he has promied me he won't go short as he knows how upset that would make me and he would probably regret a really short cut anyway
What if he starts going bald, are you going to leave him then? some people can be soo shallow...
It will grow past this problem length if he lets it. All it takes is a little patience.
I've had the same issue.
My partner (he has hair down past his waist and its gorgeous) has gone and is still going through this. He always said he'd tell me before he did anything drastic but he's worried about going bald, receeding hairline etc. He has lost hair over the years, and he is thinner on top but he still looks good. I promised him if he ever looked stuipid or like a comb over victim I'd tell him - honestly. We agreed to cut it at that point to his shoulders.
I dont like the thought cos I really like it long - its sexy - LOL but I will be honest and I will support him. Over the last 1-2 years he's been fine and its not been mentioned at all, although he's recently decided to get rid of his beard (its big and bushy and, yes I like it!!) So in April, thats going. His decision.
At the end of the day its his choice and, even though I may not like it, in time you will as I've done come to be less anxious and make him happy - compromise is good. As long as you keep talking and supporting each other it'll be fine... or put on some stockings and convince/tempt him to keep it long - works for me.... LOL
