Senior Yorkie Talker | DH being rude about Bentley's hair I know I shouldn't vent about DH but he is really starting to upset me because everyday he has something to say about Bentley's hair. He likes Bentley shaved down and I like him long. He says he looks ridiculous and that people that say otherwise are just trying to be nice. I've bit my tongue about it but this morning I got annoyed. I told him he hurts my feelings bc it isn't easy to manage Bentleys hair long. It takes a lot of hard work keeping him long. I also don't think Bentley likes him being so rude about his hair either. Just because DH likes it short doesnt mean everyone feels that way. It may be silly to be so irritated about but I'm just so tired of him talking badly about his hair being long when just yesterday I spent hours bathing and grooming him. DH loves Bentley and cuddles with him all the time. I just wish he would think before he speaks sometimes. I knew I could come vent here because a lot of you understand the time and dedication it takes to grow a coat. There's a personality under all that hair too That will never change <3 |

| im sorry dh is not understanding. we are the opposite i want to shave short and my dh wants to keep long. he might just being trying to change your mind by voicing his opinion often...but in the end if you do all the work to keep bentley long then he needs to respect that imo. ps we are always here for venting its part of the perk! hehe.

| It's always sad when our DH's don't understand. I've been there before and TBH I expect to get the same response from my DH when Princess Sophie's hair grows out. I don't care. If he's gonna rant about not liking her long hair then he doesn't have to play/sit/sleep with her. That will be MY job!! Don't give up. If your DH can understand how important it is to you for your pup to have long hair and how proud you are of it, you may get him to change his ways. Just a suggestion. I have often had to explain how I feel about different things to my DH in order to get him to come around. Good luck!

Senior Yorkie Talker | I'm sure he isn't trying to hurt my feelings and is simply trying to get me to cut him short. I suppose I should have sat him down sooner to let him know that he was upsetting me. I do all the grooming and personally love Bentley long. For him to say that no one really likes him long is just ridiculous. Hopefully now that I brought it up to him, he will try to be more sensitive in his efforts to change my mind (although I won't be, anytime soon...hehe). I feel like he is saying MY hair looks bad. Haha! I work so hard on Bentleys that it's like a blow to my self esteem to have him say it looks bad. So glad I have somewhere to vent That's an awesome perk <3 Thanks! |

| I feel for you. Mine says things like that just to push my buttons. And he truly doesn't understand about smaller dogs. With him dog = generic. It's good that you have a voice in your relationship and can tell him when he hurts your feelings! But sometimes, we just have to accept the fact that they just aren't going to get it! Then we have to decide what's worth fighting over, and what isn't.
