OP. I don’t think this is about you. It’s about her and her perception of what she looks like. Try not to be angry at her. Have alittle compassion.  
I know, it’s easier said than done.

Beckdawrek, I hear you. Thanks, I appreciate your words. I’ll try.

> Not sure what the whiteknighting is about but the OP didn’t suggest he thought his wife was mentally ill or if we thought she was. He didn’t ask for suggestions on how to fix her. He informed us he didn’t find her look appealing and that she didn’t feel like changing for him and is he justified in being pissed off about it.

> Hell, my wife is not crazy about the way I wear my hair or the way I dress sometimes but I do it anyway because **I like it**. She loves me anyway and as far as I know is not pissed at me because of it.

I’m sure if you told us what message board she hangs out at, one of us would be happy to go check and see if she’s mentioned it…

Where I live it is very common for women to get eyebrows tatooed on!

My wife did this recently. (It was a renewal; she’d gotten eyebrows several years ago.) For a week she refused to leave the house and had to be careful showering. After a week she looked fine! … and was proudly posting pictures of herself on Facebook! I didn’t encourage any of this, but when she’s happy, I’m happy. At least she got the ordinary eyebrows which are only $45 or such. Some women pay twice that for “3-D eyebrows.” And the wealthier women, believe it or don’t, go all the way to Bangkok and spend some $100’s for “6-D eyebrows.” :eek:
