S/O -- does your H comment on/have an opinion on you?

[mrsg123]

Does your H prefer your hair a certain way, or prefer you to wear certain things?

[callmehales]

he likes my hair red. so do i =)

the only time i ask for his opinion is if i see something i'm iffy about...if he hates it, he'll let me know. but if i love it, i don't bother asking because his opinion won't matter, lol

my main issue is that i think he could pay me MORE compliments when i really dress up/look nice. his excuse is "but you look nice all the time". well played DH, but i'm onto you.

[sa]

The only time he ever voiced a negative opinion on something is when I was considering waxed or leather pants a few years ago. He was not a fan.

The rest of the time he's got on love goggles. I shouldn't complain, but sometimes I just want a real opinion.

[Deleted]

He prefers me to wear no makeup, lol, like that will ever happen, and long hair. My hair is between my shoulders and bra strap, but has been as short as my chin in the 8.5 years we've been together. Hair color, clothes, shoes, he doesn't care.

[Chiquitita]

My dh just told me he loves my hair short ... I'm trying to grow it out . Me growing it out never lasts as much as I say I want it long .

[pooh8402]

He prefers my hair short, like chin length. And he likes when I wear hats (why don't I wear them more?). Other than that, he never says what he dies like, but will tell me when he doesn't like something. He doesn't like ballet flats.

I ignore him for the most part, but will ask him for his opinion sometimes.

Yes, this.

DH likes when I wear dresses and doesn't like when I wear bold lipstick. Otherwise, not really.

[IIOY]

My husband is very tight-lipped about how I look. He will tell me I look nice when I dress up, but otherwise he tends to be mum.

We do have a deal that he must tell me if I look terrible or ridiculous, but he's always super apologetic if he does this. We've been married ten years and he still doesn't seem to get that I'm totally open to constructive criticism about what I look like and it doesn't bother me because I'd rather know than walk out the door looking like a fool. All I can figure is that he was beaten in a past life for telling a woman she had a hair out of place.

Absolutely. He likes my hair blonde & longer. He also prefers my butt in Banana Republic jeans. For some reason he likes it when I dress "sporty". Dude I'm a preppy girl & me in running shorts, ponytail & hat are only happening when I'm working out.

what is with dudes and this?? my H will be all "you look pretty" and i'm wearing a scrubby tee and no makeup with dirty hair.  how's about doling out those compliments when i'm wearing something that costs more than $3.

[grace]

Not really. He generally stays quiet about that stuff.

He rolls his eyes at some of the trendier stuff I have and he likes my butt in leggings but that's about it.

i thought this said "butt leggings" and i was like HEY-O!

[treedimensional]

I have no idea.

I've never asked, and I don't care. I know when I look good/bad. He doesn't get a vote.

[FormerCityGirl]

DH typically compliments most of what I wear or how I look, but he's not afraid to tell me something doesn't work. He was stunned when I went blonde a couple of V-days ago and we now have a running joke that I brought him home a blonde as his gift that year. He loves the pink and purple hair and doesn't want that gone, but he would be cool if I didn't keep it.

We do a lot of shopping dates where I try stuff on and he gives me opinions. There's a couple of stores where they know him a little too well now, but most of the SAs think it's cool that he does this. I also send dressing room selfies for opinions now that he's gone half of the month. He always responds honestly. It's kind of fun. I don't let his opinions rule everything I leave the house in or change my style.

[mrspost08]

He would like me to go back to being a blonde. The majority of the past 8 years I was blonde. I honestly have no plans to be blonde again it's too much upkeep.

Once in awhile he will say he doesn't like something. He hates that Target designer sweatshirt a lot of us bought a couple years ago. He rarely makes comments on my clothes. Once in awhile he will ask if I really left the house in that unmatched outfit & it's usually days I've gotten lots of compliments from S&B lol

Oh my favorite compliment he gives is when he tells me I look hot bc my hips stick out. Wtf! One day I was in tears & he didn't understand why. Men!!!

[frannyr]

He's a guy so not so much. But he will tell me I look nice and always compliments when I get a haircut.

He doesn't get skinny jeans though and doesn't really like me in them.

One thing that was funny, when I went from blonde to brunette he LOVED the change! He said it wasn't that he didn't love me blonde but had no idea how much more he'd like me brown!

[mrsguz]

He doesn't really say he doesn't really like something unless I ask. And I only ask when I'm unsure about it and I really do want his honest opinion. He does compliment me regularly when I'm wearing real clothes.

[kayakjenn]

He says he likes my hair longer vs shorter but then prefers me to wear it up so he can see my face. If it's going to be in a ponytail most of the time, why don't I just keep it short?

He never tells me if he doesn't like something I'm wearing, only if he thinks I look good. Smart man.

[kris356]

He rarely comments unless I ask him. And even then, he tells me to ask my sisters! But he does compliment me when I dress up. We have been together since I was 17, I am 39 so. But he will tell me if something look bad, but I am usually on the fence and ask his opinion.
He used to love my hair short, now he likes it longer. Although, I suspect this is because he doesn't want to listen to me complain if I end up hating it if I cut it short again. He also hates bangs, but I still cut them and he makes a comment every.single.time.

[glw]

MH is really into compliments. I can't remember him ever saying something negative, although I do know that he likes my hair either short (above my chin) or long (below my shoulders) and not in between.


ETA: I straightened my hair one time for Halloween and his face was  :? and he told me to please never do that again. LOL

[Deleted]

he will say "you look nice" or something like that but otherwise, what ever I want is fine with him.

The only time it bothered me was when I was going to my surprise wedding shower. I thought we were going to a graduation picnic so I dressed in shorts and a t-shirt. He was wearing shorts and a t so I dressed according to what he was wearing. I wish he had worn something nicer because then I would have too and not looked out of place in a sea of sundress's !!!

[Deleted]

My H likes my hair on the shorter side (right now I have chin-length shag going on). He likes when I wear dresses and bright colors. One thing he doesn't like is pointy-toed heels.

[gringachef]

My husband doesn't comment (negatively) and I don't typically ask for his opinion. We've been together for 17 years- he knows me well enough to know to nod and agree.
If Gringa ain't happy ain't nobody happy;)

[Deleted]

Always but I'm fabulous and I just don't care. Bwahahahaha.

[carylee07]

I always get the most compliments from him when I'm dressed down and NOT in heels. But I tell him- ok so if I wore tees and baggy jeans every day, you would have still swooned over me? It's like he appreciated the heels and dresses when we were courting but now likes the casual outfits bc he says I dress up too much. Which I really don't. I think that's just his perception. Especially comparatively to the other females I work with.

The moral of the story- I'm not giving up heels!
