Her Boyfriend Said Cutting Her Hair Destroyed The Physical Attraction He Had For Her
Two days ago, this 21-year-old girl cut her hair. Her hair used to fall just beneath her shoulders, and she cut a lot of it off.
Currently, it’s a super short pixie cut. Before cutting her hair, she never mentioned it to her 35-year-old boyfriend.
Honestly, cutting her hair was a spur-of-the-moment decision, and she thought it would be entertaining to surprise her boyfriend and see what he thought.
“I did it myself, and it by no means was perfect, and I was still feeling pretty on the fence about it,” she explained.
“When I saw my boyfriend that night he hated it. He couldn’t stop looking at it and asking me why I would do that.”
“We put a movie on, and I was lying on his chest, and he started nitpicking all the things about my hair that I’d done wrong.”
Her boyfriend said some pieces of her hair were shorter, some were longer, and it didn’t look even at all.
She knew it was true, but it made her feel bad, so she asked him to drop the subject. He wouldn’t let up, however, and he said she did a terrible job and never should have cut her hair.
He normally always touches her hair, yet wouldn’t touch it after her new haircut, which only served to make her feel more insecure.

A day after all of this, she trimmed her hair up herself and tried to fix it. She actually felt great about it when she was done, and she started to love her new haircut. Later on that night, when she saw her boyfriend, he still had nothing nice to say.
Upset, she asked her boyfriend if he truly did not like her hair, and he confirmed that was the truth.
“He then proceeded to tell me I’ve killed the physical attraction that he had to me,” she said. “I got upset and called him superficial and shallow, and he proceeded to tell me that being like that will only ruin any other attraction he has to me.”
“So we left it. This morning, I texted him about it after he’d left for work and asked if he really didn’t like it, and he told me he didn’t and that it shouldn’t be a surprise because two weeks ago, when I had mentioned the thought of shaving my hair, he said it was a bad idea.”
“He told me I was making a big deal out of it and that it’s just hair, and it’ll grow back. I told him that him telling me that he wasn’t as attracted to me anymore is a big deal to me, and he said it was just shock and he’ll get used to it.”
She just feels awful. She was thinking her hair looked great, but she’s left hating it after what her boyfriend expressed to her.
