Does anyone else think this was a "statement" about more than a hairstyle?
Today my husband said to me " Why don't you grow you hair out again, you were much sexier with longer hair "
That was 10 years, 30 lbs and 3 kids ago. I have been so mad at him today, it is our 14th anniversary on on the 9th, we have dinner plans but now I might just cancel the babysitter.
I agree with steelstress. Your husband just mentioned that he likes you with long hair. He said nothing about the "10 years, 30lbs and 3 kids" YOU DID. Nothing at all to be upset or angry about. Enjoy your anniversary.
I have never understood what it is with mens obsession with long hair. My daughters Father was like that. I told him I would grow mine as long as he wanted it if he would take care of it for me.
It never occurred to him to consult ME on his hairstyle or whether or not he had facial hair but he seemed to feel he had the right to dictate to me about my hair. That didn't last of course.
I cut my blow shoulder length hair to a bob that was about chin level, I brought the hair home in a zip lock bag. I called him and told him to come through the door with his eyes closed because I had surprise for him. I put the bag of hair in his hands and told him to open his eyes. He was really mad. I got a kick out of it.

Lindsey, I'm assuming you weren't feeling real great about your husband at the time because that was a very passive-aggressive thing to do. I hope he deserved it!

He was VERY controlling. I had wanted to cut my hair for some time because it was hard to take care of and I don't have any natural body in my hair. He used to tell me how to wash the dishes (the same way his Mother did), he told me that when our daughter was born she would have cloth diapers (like he did as a child) on and on. I don't care for people who try to control me. It was my way of telling him I am going to do what I please. We weren't married, just living together. Thank goodness I didn't marry him because he wanted to control every little thing in my life.
I didn't think it was passive agressive at all, I thought of it as a downright statement of not allowing him to control me.

I gotcha'. It was a statement of defiance to an A-hole! In that case it was very clever and pointed!

Reason: typo
Go on to your dinner, but buy yourself a long haired wig!
Tell him that you wanted to be "sexy" for him again.
