Haircut Tomorrow!

I've been trying to grow my hair long for almost 2 years. It's now a little past my shoulders and I would love to add how shiny and gorgeous it is, but I don't like to lie. I hate hair hanging anywhere near my face, so 98% of the time, I had it pulled back into a ponytail or gathered up into a messy bun. All of those elastics and pins and combs shredded it into thousands of split ends. What was I thinking trying to grow it long when I don't like it that way in the first place? It was for John, who loves long hair on a woman (what is it with guys and long hair anyway?). I sat down and told him last week how uncomfortable and tedious it was for me attempting to care for it and he agreed that if I felt that way, then I should have it cut short.

I honestly do try and do things that are pleasing to my husband, but my hair, trying to grow it long, became a tremendous burden for me. Tomorrow I will have the style I want; a short crop, something carefree and scrunchable that I can just blow dry for a few minutes in the morning and be done with it.

This really got me to thinking though. If John had said "No, I'd rather your hair stay long", would I have cut it short anyway. I am ashamed to say that I would have. I know husbands are the head of the family, but do they have the final say in everything, including hairstyles? Or, should their leadership only be considered in more important matters, such as finances, employment, etc..

Would I be considered a disobedient wife or a strong, independent woman?
