It's tough, really painfully tough when your wife won't let go of the past. I had some really rocky months at first, but once she saw that 1) it wasn't going away--or coming back, whatever, and 2) that the vast majority of our friends either accepted it or praised it, she's calmed down, she doesn't like it, but she knows that she can't change it. I think the slow and easy just drags out an uncomfortable position. I see from your map your from VA, near Charlottsville [BTW, older daughter graduated from UVA]. That's pretty socially conservative country, but certainly no more so than NO. I don't have any problems or complaints here. It's going to be a rocky ride at first, but go to the skin, tough it out. She'll calm down, but it may take a while. Meanwhile you'll be at peace w/ yourself.
All of her arguments against the idea have been based on her feelings of the look not how I feel about want to give my hair loss the finger!
I am now at a No 1 and I don't know how much longer I can hold off!
I am now at a No 1 and I don't know how much longer I can hold off! My wife , God love her, had the nerve to say "it makes it look like you have even less hair!" Talk about being harsh and not understanding what I am going through. Next time a discussion about my hair comes up, I am going to tell her that the reason I haven't done the deed yet isn't because she hasn't given me "permission." It is because I wanted her to be comfortable with and have time to accept the decision I am making. After that talk, I don't see full slyness too far off in my future.Thanks for everyones comments on this thread! It has helped my to put my thoughts on here and to hear everyone's comments.
A Letter? You mean, like a letter you mail?
dude... wow... i cannot believe U actually wrote a letter 2 your wifey.
So much so, that Sunday is the day!!!!! My return to a smooth head is near. While she isn't totally happy about it, she now realizes after our talk that it will bring me relief from stressing over my hair, or thinning there of which will make me (and in turn her) happy.Time to dust off my head shaving routine. Also, I cannot think of a better maiden voyage for the Clear HB Sport that I won a few years back.
