User post: Would your partner be upset if you got a completely new look?

I had a pretty drastic haircut today; it was several inches below my shoulders and I got it cut in a layered bob that barely grazes my chin area. I was looking forward to my new look; my boyfriend, not so much. He said, "You should keep it long; I don't like hair that short." I said, "Who cares what you think? It's my hair!" He said, "Yeah, I know. You should do what you want with it. You'll still look cute." And, indeed, he ended up liking my new haircut.

At the salon, I had a conversation about this with the woman who was cutting my hair, and she told me a story about how she had all her shoulder-length hair chopped off into a Sharon Stone pixie and had it bleached blond. Her husband was so mad she slept on their couch for a week and he didn't speak to her for two more weeks after that. How horrible is that? Acting like he had some right over how she styled her hair and making that big of a stink about it! I wouldn't stand for that!

What about you? Would your partner be upset with you if you got a drastic haircut, or a new hair color? What about trying a whole new style of clothing, or changing your makeup look? What would you do if your partner got upset about your new look? Do you think your partner would have a right to be upset if you knew they didn't like a certain look and you tried it? Would you be upset if your partner tried a new look that you didn't like?
