I don't like my wife's new hair cut... ask me a question...

get a ladies magazine, and circle some pictures of hairstyles and haircolors that you like, and show these to your wife. tell her the cut she has already is OK, but next time you would like to see her with something like the picture in the magazine, if she doesn't mind. she can take the picture to the salon with her and show it to her stylist.

Well OP, my wife lost all of her hair last year to cancer. Now since it grew back, she keeps short, kinda like the old Jamie Lee Curtis look. I tell her I love her hair short, simply because I love her. When I looked at her when she was bald, I didn't notice "no hair", because thats what love is. Are you really in love with her?

Maybe not, She's never said anything and I haven't asked...
Or your stinky feet.

I bet she looks like Cher.

Stop short before she's about to climax...and don't tell her why.

OP, just be careful. Sometimes honesty can be really hurtful. I work out all the time, am told I look pretty good for my age, I am a size 2 and still weight same as I did when I met my husband (115 lbs) and yet he will tell me my flaws. as much as I like honesty, sometimes I lay awake in bed at night after he falls asleep and I just cry because I don't measure up. I know I am not as pretty or perfect as some of the other women in the world or his co-workers, and I certainly can't compare to the younger women. So as hard as I try to stay well preserved, it is absolutely devastating to be told that a certain part of your body is lacking or does not measure up to what society says is the ideal. I never told him how bad what he said made me feel because it would only start a fight. But deep down inside I wish just one man would think I am perfect just one time. Its always been a struggle to measure up in this world. There are days I work out twice and skip a meal just to keep myself a size 2 and fit. Because God forbid, I gain a few pounds, then I'd really hear the truth.

Hair grows. Keep your mouth shut unless you want to scar her emotionally.

Well after reading this I just asked my husband if I should grow my bangs out and he said yes. That he loves my long hair but he wants no bangs like how it used to be.

Lovely

My hair is similar to that picture.

I like bangs. They make it so you dont always have to have your hair pulled or clipped back because of that extra hair in your face. Whether my hypothetical husband liked them or not, I'd be keeping mine.

Honestly I'd want to know if you didn't like it.

If I were her I'd want the truth.

But we are all different.

My wife went to get a hair cut yesterday, she got a level three color and cut. $150 bucks. It looks horrible, to me it looks like a wig.

She said what do you think, all I could say was: uhh, it looks ok.

It looks like this with highlights..

She's 43, and just cant pull of this hair style.
The hair style itself isn't bad, it just doesnt look right on her.

How do I tell her I hate it without hurting her feelings...

^ This. I'm amazed that in three pages of replies, only three posts (or so) have suggested an honest approach.

My advice would be to tell her how you feel, while being considerate of how she feels. A thoughtful and honest approach. Good luck!

I think sometimes men do that because he wants your self esteem to suffer...maybe you'll think you can never do better then him so he feels safe.

My ex husband was like that and he made me feel terrible. I'm sorry you have to deal with that. Some people are just super critical to everyone.

Or maybe he is in fact self-conscious about his own perceived shortcomings and seeks to project those feelings onto others to shift the focus away from his own insecurities. Classic defense mechanism.
