First of all let me tell you that donating your hair was a GREAT thing to do. I have done it before myself and it's such a rewarding feeling you get back. Second, I have heard that your color of hair (shades of orange/red) are the most needed with LL.
My husband is the same way your's is. He MET ME with short hair right after bootcamp and now he always tells me not to cut it. But when I do, he gets over it. When I ask him if he likes it, he asks me "Do YOU like it?" When I say yes, he says "Well good then." But if I get my hair highlighted, he likes it and he will tell me a real compliment. But did you know that your hair really even isn't considered short? I would consider your hair medium to long. Your hubby is lucky you didn't cut your hair really short, like ear level! But I think your hair is adorable now, it brings out your face more and it has more volume.
I hate to say it, but you're right-your husband sounds like a drama king. He is throwing a fit so that you don't cut your hair and so that he gets his way in the future. Maybe he needs to be reminded about how looks aren't everything. There are brave women even here on YT that have cancer or are cancer survivers who have lost ALL of their hair and they still have the love and support of their husbands. These women are still beautiful inside and out. Hair doesn't make a person, it's an assesory, like jewelry. We are the same people with or without this stuff. I would suggest asking him about that.
I think your husband is a good man. A guy doesn't get a girl like you without being an awesome person. I just think he probably has some other issues going on. I really don't think your relationship was based on hair. Regardless, he needs to be more considerate of your feelings. Did you tell him that you cried? He can say what is on his mind without being hurtful. He could say that you just look different, or ask you if you liked it.
Above everything else I am sure that beautiful little boy or girl will never regret that you have given such a special gift to him or her. This is the LL website:
