When you live with someone long enough you see them as sort of a fixed icon, not a dynamic changing entity. At least until you have reason to interact really closely and actually _see_ them, not just look in their general direction to notice where they are and what they’re doing. OTOH, here’s a story of a time I noticed her revised haircut almost instantly. And that wasn’t so good either: > [@(Old) Top O' the Mundane To Ya- A St. Patrick's Day MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-top-o-the-mundane-to-ya-a-st-patricks-day-mmp/1015709/334): > > Once decades ago I came home from work after ~30 hours awake and a hellish commute home from halfway across the USA during the overnight hours. Drove home in a mental fog arriving just a bit pre-dawn. Stripped in the living room, groggily crawled into bed in the blackout-curtain dark, stuck out my hand towards her sleeping head and encountered a giant mass of Afro-like curls. My wife has voluminous long utterly straight Italian hair; never a curl in sight. > > I was sure I’d gotten into the wrong house in my sleep-deprived dazed state and was as good as dead. Then she made those familiar _umph mumph_ noises we all know and love and my heart rate began to recover. > > There was a brief fad you might recall from ~1990 for white chix to wear semi-afros. She’d gotten a perm to surprise me. First time in the ~8 years I’d known her and the ~3 years we’d been married she’d _ever_ gotten her hair “done” as opposed to just “cut”. > > I was in fact surprised. :eek: 🤯 Just not in a good way. She did not renew the perm once it had grown / washed out. She damn near got to collect on my life insurance; good thing as a mere stripling of 33-ish I had a strong heart that could survive going from 60 to 300 BPM and back no-notice. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/june-no-nothing-monthly-mini-rants/1019081)._
