Asking the OH permission - yea or nay?

[the-kazbar]

Yesterday I went to the hairdressers and had my waist length hair cut really short (like boy length short). While I was sitting in the chair explaining what I wanted, the hairdresser (who also had long hair) said to me

"does your husband know you are cutting off all of your hair?"

I said "he knows I am getting a hair cut"

her "won't he freak out?"

me "no, why would he?"

She then said in reply "really? If I cut all my hair off my fiancee would leave me"

I was shocked but I bit my tongue & later wondered if maybe I was the wierd one and people (male and female) really asked permission from their partners before doing something with their own body (especially something as temporary as a haircut)

Do you ask permission from your other half?

As for the " Would you change the house?"

Yes!!!!

Sent OH up to shops, had demolished half a wall by the time he got back.

That'll teach him to say no.....

Sled hammer is my favourite tool!

My husband's opinion means heaps to me so I would never just go and get my long hair cut short without saying anything. Having said that, I know perfectly well that he would say the decision would always have been mine.

Same here Vintage although mine would give me an opinion and say its your hair do what makes you happy.
