d0nnivain Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 DH is out of town for a funeral. He'll be back Friday. I have needed to get my hair done for a while, now I'm thinking I'm using my free time to get a new look. Would this be a good surprise for DH? Am I overthinking it?
Got it Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 You know him better. I change my look a lot so I BELIEVE it is a positive surprise DH. If not, he doesn't say anything. If you want to change your look, go for it!
Keenly Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 This sounds more like its for you than it is for him . 2
Author d0nnivain Posted November 20, 2013 Author Posted November 20, 2013 This sounds more like its for you than it is for him . I could see where you draw that conclusion but I hate having my hair done. I just was wondering since he's coming home from a funeral & the travel will have been very draining whether any changes I make will be jarring instead of comforting after what he's been through. Then again, knowing him, he probably won't notice unless I show up as a blonde or something which I wouldn't do.
veryhappy Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 I wouldn't do it because of the funeral part. You can wait until he's back to change something that he'd notice. 1
crederer Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 I have to agree with keenly on this one. He'll probably be happy to see you either way. 1
ChooseTruth Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Nothing wrong with getting your hair done, just don't set yourself up for a massive disappointment if he doesn't go crazy over it.
Ninjainpajamas Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 A nice surprise of something he likes/wants or his favorite meal with a very relaxing tone to let him catch up on his rest as I'm sure he'll just be happy to be back home after some travel. Since it's a funeral I'm not sure how receptive or aware he will be at the moment, it just depends on the kind of guy he is..I probably wouldn't notice a haircut myself and even If I did I'm not sure how much happier that would make ME feel. Now if you ran me a bubble bath with my favorite rubber ducky and fed me a nice steak dinner afterwards I'd be pretty damn happy. In a previous relationship, she would stock the fridge with my favorite drinks and get me my favorite snacks and she was quite a good cook and would make me a delicious meal after I came in from out of town...it was amazing to come home to, she was too good to me and knew me well.
Author d0nnivain Posted December 9, 2013 Author Posted December 9, 2013 I was such a mess when he left . . . there had been too many deaths recently. I ended up getting my hair done so I felt better about myself. When he got home I was calmer & less off the rails so I was able to focus on him & process his needs so he was able to share his impressions surrounding the death of his friend. It all worked out. 1
