Should I have to shave my beard, trim my mustache, and regularly cut my hair just to please my wife?

My wife and I have been happily married for 15 years. I am 20 years older than she is. I'm 55 and she'll be 35 in August. For about 5 years now, I've been letting my beard grow (most of it is gray) and like big mustaches. I also hate getting hair cuts. My wife has been telling me that she wants me to start trimming my beard and mustach to have more of a clean-cut look. I hate shaving my face and dying my beard. My wife has lost some weight and wears size 10-12 pants, always highlights her hair, goes to the gym, takes care of our home needs including very good home cooked meals. Our daughter who is in high-school also tells me that I should do something about all my hair. My feeling about this is that I love big mustaches (always have always will), and love big beards, if this is the way I like to look, without disrespect for my wife and daughter, why should I have to change what I like for them? My wife is happy with my physic (I workout everyday), but not my looks. Can anyone help?

That should be a compromise between you and her. You'll both have to decide what is more important, the hair or the relationship (unless you both just like having a tiff about nothing, in which case you both already have what you want). ;-)

Perhaps they would like to be proud of their dad and husband. She didn't marry a shaggy bum. Why should she want one now? Does she NEVER do anything that you would like her to do just to please you? It is time you tried to please her. This world is not all about YOU ya know.

Sorry about the controlling issue on her part. I hate shaving also. I've had this beard for 35 years. We should periodically trim up a bit just to throw them a curve. I just had the hair and beard trimmed back for Spring and an upcoming court case. I wish you luck! ;-)=

Well, look at it this way. Your wife and daughter are the ones who have to look at you. If they tell you that they think your hair and beard would look better trimmed up some, then maybe it really would. If you don't care whether you look nice for them then do nothing. It's okay either way, please yourself or please your family, up to you....and if they really love you they will accept you either way.

YES

I am sorry to hear your wife is giving you a hard time. My husband has hair down to his waist and a beard to match (ZZ TOP all the way) and that's the way he likes it. I didn't necessarily like it in the beginning. I couldn't imagine him changing and I couldn't imagine demanding he change either. Then he wouldn't be happy. I realized that he may not look the way others want him to look BUT he is the nicest smartest man in the world . Long hair, beard and mustache ,blue jeans and t-shirts. I wouldn't change a thing!

Should I have to shave my beard, trim my mustache, and regularly cut my hair just to please my wife?

I once had a boyfriend who grew a mustache, sideburns and a beard. I asked him to cut them off. He removed the beard, trimmed the mustache considerably and told me the sideburns were a part of his heritage and he was keeping them.

I liked that about him!

And he was right not to allow me to control everything. After all, it was his face and he had a perfect right to determine how he wanted his face to look, although he did give in somewhat.

I respected him more and still do, even though that was many years ago,

Well maybe you could tone it down a bit. I mean you are wanting to look attractive for your wife not someone else, right? See if you can find a compromise with what feels good to you and what is attractive to her.

Should I have to shave my beard, trim my mustache, and regularly cut my hair just to please my wife?

I think your wife and daughter should respect the way you feel. It seems like your wife is being a little selfish %26amp; not really considering your feelings. Would your wife shave her head and grow out her armpit hair if you said you preferred it that way? Don't think so! She should try to put herself in your place. This is a tough one, hope you guys can work it out!

Do what she likes. otherwise you will soon have less and less sex, cuz she wont find you appealing.

Should I have to shave my beard, trim my mustache, and regularly cut my hair just to please my wife?

I don't think you should have to completely change the way you look if it really makes you happy. However, what's wrong with getting an occasional haircut just to keep it looking nice? Or trimming your beard and mustache so it looks clean and professional? Grey hair tends to be very coarse, so maybe the reason she wants you to trim it is because it's scratchy when you kiss. Everyone wants to feel attractive to their mate, so maybe by compromising a little and not letting all your hair get out of control, everyone will be happier.

Should i cut my hair short all at once or gradually?

u see my hair has so many split ends it's not even funny NE more so i went to get an inch cut off the other week and the lady who cut it told me that i should either cut it short all at once and start over and keep it healthy or just keep goin back and getting it cut an inch everytime 4-6 weeks. thing is i have african-american hair so it doesn't grow back very fast at all. also idk if i can maintain the short look that i want cuz my hair texture is different. so tell me what you think please!

Should i cut my hair short all at once or gradually?

first thing i have to say is that it's a myth that african american's hair grows slower than other races. second thing is, you should cut it off gradually because once you get it all cut off your still going to need to keep getting it cut due to the hairstyling that you do; however if it is that severe you should get all the split ends cut off at one time so you have a clean slate to start with

Should i cut my hair short all at once or gradually?

Frankly, I'd go an inch or so at a time. You can always cut more off...but you can't add it back on once it's off.

That sounds like a reverse mullet.

My hair is long and REAL. Should i cut it??

I'm an African American 21 year old. I've had long hair my whole life and that's a huge part of me--my hair. I want to cut my hair because I want my hair maintainence to be a little easier. Some people may be upset because they like my hair long and it's rare these days to find black girls with (real) long hair. I don't want to regret it once I'm done, but I'm pretty sure that I won't because this is something that I've always wanted and I know I'm old enough now to do it. I'm getting it done today so what do you say? Cut or no cut?

My hair is long and REAL. Should i cut it??

If you want to cut it i say go ahead! I was faced with a similar situation...I grew up with really long hair and my family (esp. my mom) always admired it and told me never to cut it. But when it all boils down to it, you have to live with all of that darn hair!! So you should do what you want with it. People with shorter hair usually don't understand all of the mess you have to go through with longer hair. When i turned 18 i decided to cut all of mine off...I hated it. but i thought that's what i wanted at the time. I still keep it considerably shorter (shoulder length) and im very comfortable with it now. I would suggest starting out slow and keep cutting a little bit more off until it gets to a comfortable length. Also, don't worry so much about what other people will think. Good luck with whatever you decide to do! :)

Donate it... it'll make you feel good, and people can't complain then.

My hair is long and REAL. Should i cut it??

Please do not cut it. As a man, I love women with long hair! Not butch cuts.

If you decide to do it remember, you can donate it to a charity like Locks of Love.

My hair is long and REAL. Should i cut it??

it's your hair, it's your choice. You can always grow it back out, if you don't like it.

My hair is long and REAL. Should i cut it??

I'm not African American but....when I had very long hair and decided to get it cut I went just a little shorter than what I had.....worked with it for awhile and then decided to go a bit shorter....and so on. I think if you do it as a gradual process...first others will get used to it and so will you and you will discover what length you feel comfortable at. I have decided over time I enjoy my long hair better so I've let it grow back out but I wanted to let you know what I did ....maybe it would work for you.

My hair is long and REAL. Should i cut it??

no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My hair is long and REAL. Should i cut it??

maybe cut it to a nice sholder length and take if from there. If the change isn't too shocking or drastic, cut it again. I would leave a little length. it's hard to grow hair back!

My hair is long and REAL. Should i cut it??

don't cut it if you're not sure. just get a trim or cut up to 2 inches.

i've cut my hair short before and have regretted it.

My hair is long and REAL. Should i cut it??

Honestly, do what you want to do. If you want to cut it then go ahead. Its your hair in the end and you're the one who has to live with it. You can't always keep others happy, keep yourself happy first.

My hair is long and REAL. Should i cut it??

No way!! Your hair sounds gorgeous!! V jealous!! If you want to cut it then sure but be prepared it may not look v good ... have a consultation with your hairdresser before anything goes ahead... they can give you their opinion .... if you decide you don't want to get it done just buy speial shampoos and conditioners to manage your hair ...

My hair is long and REAL. Should i cut it??

Just cut it like an inch. It will make things a little easier, but your hair will still be really long.

My hair is long and REAL. Should i cut it??

No you should not cut your hair, just think of how long it would take to grow it back again if you don't like your new look.

Don't think you can just put extensions in to replace it because then you are just like thousands of other wannabes -you have real long hair, be thankfull for it.

If you cut it, Donate your hair to locks for love.

My hair is long and REAL. Should i cut it??

cut your hair. then donate your locks to kids with cancer. they make wigs out of your hair for them to wear to make them feel normal. this way, even if you think back and wish you hadn't cut your hair, you'll at least be happy in the fact that you brought a smile to a childs face by donating hair to make a wig for them.

If you decide to cut it, please consider donating it to locks of love.

Go for a trim at first and see how you like it a bit shorter. Long hair if it's cared for properly is for any age and any race if it suits you....take a look at the gorgeous 60 year old Diana Ross.

My vote? Trim. Good luck with your new look, no matter what you decide.

My hair is long and REAL. Should i cut it??

I think u should go for it. i mean if u had long hair all ur life maybe its time 4 a change. people experiment with their hair all the time. i have short hair and i love it. but make sure that the cut suits ur face. if u hav a long face then don't cut ur hair too short maybe shoulder length.

My hair is long and REAL. Should i cut it??

I say cut it

Gets you out of that comfort zone....and that's okay

you will always be the same person, just with new hair!!

Great thing is that you can always grow it back with patience

My hair is long and REAL. Should i cut it??

Why not try. I just cut 5 inches off mine. I miss my long hair but im glad I tried it and I must admit its sooooo much easier and quicker to style. It feels healthier now too. I want my long hair back but at least I know it will grow back and I tried something diff.

My hair is long and REAL. Should i cut it??

I THINK YES.AND IF YOU GET TIRED YOU CAN ALWAYS WEAR EXTENTIONS UNTIL IT GROWS BACK.YOU WILL BE NERVES AT FIRST BUT THEN YOU FEEL SO LIGHT AND FREE.I'M ALSO AN AA WHO HAD LONG HAIR BUT CHOPPED IT OFF.

My hair is long and REAL. Should i cut it??

I don't think so, but do what you feel is right.

My hair is long and REAL. Should i cut it??

Every time I cut my hair short, I regret it %26amp; grow it out all over again. Just make sure that is really what you want before you do it.

Maybe try a wig first, to see how it would look on you first.

My hair is long and REAL. Should i cut it??

Here's what I think:

I had waist length hair a few years ago, and I donated 14 inches to locks of love. I still had long hair -- past my shoulders. If you have hair that long, I think you should donate it -- you only need 10 inches, and then it will be shorter, but still kinda' long. If you don't want to cut that much off, just trim a few inches off. Your hair will look healthier, and it will be more manageable.

Good Luck!!

I'm looking for a picture of a certain haircut so that i can show the lady who can cut my hair.

Why is it so hard to get a good hair cut?

i know i have the same problem...hair dressers do my head in ...they dont know what you want no matter how hard you try 2explain to them,......the only advice i can say is keep trying different salons until you like your hair style....OR go back to the 1 you already when to twice....and when the are done...if u still dont like your hair....tel them it wasnt the style you was looking for..and wanted it a bit different...they might have the mardies or not...but least u told them...so i think they wil aprecate the comment..as the will know in future...and they might even listern more carefully to what style u want next time....OR...take a picture of a hair style that u want from a magazine or the internet and give the hairdresser the picture tel them u want that style......when thay are done... if it dont look like the picture...them tel them it doe'snt look the same...hope this helps..

Why is it so hard to get a good hair cut?

Why don't you get someone to draw a picture, or find one online, of the style you want? You're paying the barber to cut your hair the way you want it, after all.

God bless.

Why is it so hard to get a good hair cut?

bring a picture! as a man, this may be a tough thing to do, but it is worth it. if you are too embarrassed to bring a photo to the barbershop, then go to a salon, it will not be out of the ordinary there. if you get a good salon cut, then you can go to the barbershop for upkeep. it will be easy to maintain once you get it how you like it : )
