What Did He Think?

So the big question lately has been...
So, what did he think?
What did he say?
Does he like it?

After YEARS of having a friend, girlfriend, fiance, wife, who has looked like this...

And then doing this

Resulting in this

You might say it was sort of a big deal for Him.
For those of you who know Ryan you know that he is a "long hair" kinda guy. No, I am not referring to his choice in hair style these days (ugh!) but rather his preference/likes in a woman's hair style. Being the loving wife I am I have always taken in to account the fact that he loves my hair long (and because I have always been too chicken to go ahead and chop it off) I have forever had long hair.
But I think there comes a time in every woman's life, when after caring, day in and day out, for others that she decides to do something for herself. I had been thinking of making a change for some time and well, I guess I finally just got the "you know what" to do it.
As I drove to work one night I thought to myself... "I'm just going to do it!" And well... that is what I did.
He claims I didn't tell him. I guess you could say I really didn't. Although I did give him a little warning days before when I expressed to him that "I really need to get in to get my hair done.... and that I think I might have her cut it off." However of course he claims that he didn't hear that part. I suppose sometimes that selective hearing isn't such a great thing after all.
So what was the reaction you ask?
My thought was that it would be something like this.
It wasn't.
To be quite honest, there wasn't much of a reaction at all. Just a glance.
And a bit of a shrug.
And when I finally asked him if he liked it, he simply said,
"If you like it... then I like it."
Don't you worry though.
I know that deep down inside he is smiling
And would get down on one knee and ask this girl to be his wife all over again!
(Or at least I hope he would)

Cute post. That's what a good husband says. I like short hair so of course I am in favor of what you did.

This post is too cute! Sometimes we all need a little (or big) change in our lives. At least it's not something permanent!
I think I was feeling a little that same way when I got my nose pierced. And... I've been thinking about getting a tattoo. I doubt I'll ever do it, though! :)
I love your hair and I'm sure he really is smiling on the inside!
