Isn't is funny how a husband and wife can have the same conversation but each get completely different meanings out of it?Back in January Jon and I went onto base to get our military IDs. During the hour-long wait we saw lots of women in uniform, all with regulation-short hairdos or long hair neatly pinned back in buns. Jon commented that he didn't like the short military cuts for women, and he didn't want my hair to look like that. So, for the last 5 months, I've been growing my hair out so it'll be long enough for a bun when I go active duty next year.
A few days ago I asked him if he liked how my hair looked, "since I started growing it out for you." Jon looked confused- he said he never asked me to grow out my hair because he doesn't particularly care if my hair is short or long. I related the story about getting our IDs. What I heard as "Christi- grow your hair long" and Jon heard as "Please don't shave the back of your head."
What I've learned about my husband- as long as my hair isn't shaved like Rhianna or long and puffy like Michelle Duggar, Jon will like it. That's something we can both agree on.
