She’s Considering Divorcing Her Husband Because He Tries To Control How She Cuts Her Hair, As Well As Other Aspects Of Her Appearance
This woman and her husband have been together for two years and married for five months. According to her, he is a great guy, too.
But, she has one main issue with their relationship. Apparently, her husband is way too controlling when it comes to her appearance.
Their most recent disagreement centered around her hair, which she wanted to cut short. Her husband doesn’t want her to do that ever again, though.
“And he doesn’t just have a preference. He just straight up says, ‘Don’t do it, or I will be very upset!'” she detailed.
For context, she and her husband actually met when she had short hair, and her husband obviously still kept pursuing her. But, she has since grown it out– which was mostly just to please him.
Still, she cannot help but look at photos of herself with short hair and miss how she looked.
“I’ve been cutting my hair short since I was 10 years old. My hair is a big part of who I am, and I feel like I am compromising on such a big part of my identity just because of my husband,” she explained.
Not to mention, the issue isn’t just about her hair, either. In general, she feels extremely restricted when it comes to her own personal style. She admitted that she is afraid to wear anything that might be considered “too out there” because her husband may have an opinion or even make fun of her.
That’s why she restrains herself and only wears trendy items that her husband likes on other people. But honestly, she is sick of dealing with it and just wants to be supported.

“I am used to full support and encouragement from my parents, and I don’t feel that from my husband. I do fear it will bleed into other areas as well,” she revealed.
Anyway, she knows that her husband will not divorce her if she cuts her hair. Instead, he will just be really upset, and she doesn’t want to witness that kind of reaction.
On top of that, she doesn’t want her husband to make her feel bad for cutting her hair– which is something she really wants to do for herself.
“So, no matter which way I try to go, I feel like it’s a lose-lose,” she vented.
This has pushed her to actually contemplate divorce since she would much rather be alone than deal with her husband’s controlling nature.
The fact that he has tried to control her clothing and other aspects of her appearance has made her quite resentful, and that’s no way to lead a marriage.
Still, she cannot help but wonder whether leaving her husband because he tries to control how she cuts her hair– as well as other aspects of her appearance– would be justified or not.
Have you ever been with a partner who tried to control your appearance? Do you think divorcing someone because they’re too controlling is reasonable or overboard? What would you do if you were in her shoes?
