In two and a half weeks, this man’s brother is getting married, and he was slated to be a groomsman.
He’s known his brother’s fiancée for quite a long time, and she’s a family friend.
While he’s not married yet, he is currently in a relationship with his boyfriend.
Prior to the pandemic, he had a hair transplant.
For many years, he struggled with insecurity issues related to his looks, and he dealt with hair loss for a long time.
He loves the way his hair looks, and his hair is longer than shoulder length now, but none of his family know that he had a hair transplant. He also never opened up with his family about his insecurities.
On the other hand, his brother went bald and decided to rock the look with confidence.
A couple of nights ago, his brother was hanging out with him at his apartment, and the topic of hair came up.
“I have decent looks. My brother thought I would outshine him without a haircut. I said no because I’ve been growing it since quarantine,” he said.
In response, his brother said that if he didn’t cut his hair, he was no longer allowed to attend his wedding.
He said that he could wear a hat to try to take attention away from him, but his brother rejected the idea.
After their conversation, his brother stayed the night at his apartment.
He hoped that his brother would calm down and change his mind the next day after sleeping on it.
His brother left the following morning, and he then took a shower.
“I used my shampoo. It smelled horrible, and I rinsed it off immediately. Clumps of my hair started to fall out, and I was left with thin, half-bald hair. It was irritating, and my scalp was red,” he explained.
He started screaming and then called his brother, who told him that now that his long hair was gone, he could come to his wedding, and everything was okay.
Understandably, this was incredibly triggering and traumatic to him, especially since it triggered memories of trauma he’d experienced in the past.
“I called the police, and he was arrested. And charged with assault,” he shared.
Over the next couple of days, the rest of their family found out what happened, and his brother’s fiancée broke up with him.
Unfortunately, his father reached out and called him horrible names, telling him that it wasn’t fair for him to destroy his brother’s life because of his hair.
Aside from his grandmother and mother, everyone else in his family has spoken up against his decision to call the police on his brother.
What would you have done if you were in his shoes?
