Formerly sly

[gamechanger]

Turned 63 on May 13th and the last time I went sly was about maybe five or six years ago.  My life was in a rut and those are the times that I do something radical to shake things up.  After about seven months, let my hair grow out.  Why?  Don't remember.  So, again, find my life stuck and my wheels spinning in the mud, so thinking about returning to the sly look.   I know it won't make everything right, bright and good but it is the most personal statement a man or woman can make.  And it will, at the least, upset my wife, which it did the last time.  For me, that's a good thing.

Go for it! And enjoy!

Whoa!  That is one statement I am not going to go near, Gamechanger, except to say that I truly am sorry you are in that situation.

But, like Hingatao, I am of the opinion that you need to do whatever is going to make YOU feel better.  After all, it is only hair that can and will grow back.  If you want to go Sly, then I say you should do it.  It is YOUR head.

And welcome!

Thanks guys.  It's like my wife & I are locked into psychological warfare.  She's not thrilled with my goatee, either.  She does something to tick me off, I do something to tick her off.  Ain't love grand.

I agree with one point. If it will make you feel better, then go sly. We all need to feel good about ourselves.

Welcome, gamechanger! There's nothing wrong with going sly, and I can somewhat understand your pain...(I was in the process of my second divorce when I joined, and this forum was very therapeutic for me). But if you want to go sly, do it because it's something that makes you feel good, not because it's something to spite your wife....Things that we enjoy become less enjoyable when we do them for reasons than our own satisfaction......Enjoy the forum, participate often and keep your head up!
