You list reasons FOR cutting it...and you know It'll grow back


My main reason is that it will make it a lot faster for me to get ready to go each day. I have also read that by far most women do not like long hair on a guy. The entire time I was with my wife I had long hair, but she did show interest in me cutting it, although she was scared that she wouldn't like it. It will make me feel like I fit in better with other guys, perhaps. Some people view a man with long hair negatively, like he's shady or into drugs. Changing my appearance makes me perhaps seem more like a different person. Might make me appear more masculine and strong.


and it shows change, regardless of whether it's only external. Tell us about what you really fear would happen by cutting your hair?

What do you think keeping the same hair style & length for years, reveals about you?


My reasons for not cutting it are: I kind of like how it looks on me. I don't know what style I want to replace it with. Once it's cut, it takes a good while to grow back. I am afraid I'll regret it. I like how having long hair makes me feel unique and individualistic. Scared my wife won't like it. After all, she fell in love with me, with the same hair I have now.

anything strike you about these^^^ comments?
She fell in love with you while you had long hair, not because you had long hair. And she left that same guy...

do you want to be and look like the same guy she left?


(OM is very different in appearance. He has short hair and is burly.


then it seems long hair and thinness are not deal breakers OR deal makers...

Do you see value in exercise? Do YOU want to become a stronger man?




He's probably just playing her.

Stop this^^^. It's so counter productive - b/c it wastes your time on someone OTHER THAN YOU - and you are the only person here that you can help.

He's that sexy excitement I guess she has been missing, mostly due to my lack of paying attention to her needs and not making her feel special and cherished.


Yikes, you are again deflecting from the valid concerns and unmet needs of hers, which she communicated. All that she did not say or do was threaten you with divorce if you didn't change them. Her pain was not enough of an inducement for you to change anything at all, from what I can tell.

Now, below, you whine about how unfair she is to want out of the marriage. Can you tell us why she should stay? Not what you want or need, but what's in it for HER?

If you have nothing to offer her, change that. It's all up to you.

I think it's so unfair that such an innocent crime, based on ignorance and inexperience, has such a harsh penalty.)


tired

do you WANT to be a powerless victim? B/c this^^ is the route there. Powerlessness and victimhood...

You remain static and unchanged, at your peril.
