I am really surprised that most would think its no biggie and she did you a favor. In the end, that may turn out to be true but nonetheless for your wife to do that without your consent is just mind blowing to me.

Can't decide
I agree with you, I would be extremely upset with my wife, however, I know she would never do that so it would not be an issue.

Holy cow, it has been a while since my face has turned red and gotten sorta hot, I could not control my embarassment, I would have played it off if given advance notice but the suprise of it all had me a bit stunned.

Amazingly, after dinner in private she claimed to not know it was embarassing, so I took it very easy on her....but damn that was truly embarassing!

Now that the cat is out of the bag, I guess I will just embrace it and be thankful that there is a solution out there for guys like me with less than perfect hair!
I don't know man. I have been married 18 years, and my wife would know NEVER to do that to me. She should have been more considerate and asked you before hand if you wanted it shared with someone or not.

Sorry, that's messed up.

Totally agree. Talk about not being on the same page with your spouse. Thanks for sharing though. Good story.

I guess my viewpoint is a bit different to the others. Yes, we are shy about it, we are embarrassed about it and we don't want everyone knowing we are having it done - however your wife has just gone and shown that other people don't think so much of it at all. Most of the worry is something which we invent ourselves.

I told one of my female friends about it (very shyly) and her reaction was "they can do that?!? that's awesome! I can't wait!" Completely the opposite to what I was expecting.

By having people react in such an easy going, direct way, it is normalising the whole process.. much like breast enhancement is no longer taboo for females.

In short, your wife doesn't mind about it - so perhaps you shouldn't worry so much either.

As nobody knows about my procedures, I would have felt a bit uncomfortable as you. Of course, this is an individual decision but I prefer to be private.

At the end of the day, when all is said and done, your results will speak for themselves and nobody will remember

This seems to be the way it goes. An unnatural result will continue to remind people of what you've done, but it's amazing how short memories can be when the change is a positive one.

Totally agree. And try to remember that no one cares about your hair - or notices it - like you do.
