My husband is obsessed with his hair and I can not take it anymore. If he is not having a good hair day in the morning he screams and throws things and sometimes even breaks things in the bathroom. He gets like this at least 3 times a week. I can not take it anymore and neither can my dog. My dog shakes and hides under the sofa. His rage with his hair gets him in such a bad mood that we fight and are both miserable the whole day. What should I do?

Give him fair warning that if he can't keep his obsession with his hair under control, that you're going to wait until he is asleep and then shave his head. :)

Jokingly I have told him that. I am so afraid that if he goes bald , (he is 37 now) I wll have to move out of the house because he will go out of his mind.

Actually I was just kidding, but good for you. :) What did he say when you told him that? How does he have his hair cut that it becomes such a problem? Maybe if he went to a good men's or unisex salon, that they could suggest a good style that would be easily maintained and would keep him happy. Then maybe you and your dog could be a little more at ease first thing in the morning.

Build him an outdoor shed exclusively for his hair maintenance. Fill it with hairdressing accessories and cheap breakable objects. Tell him that he may have all the tantrums he wants in the shed, but if they leave the shed with him, the hairdressing items will be joined by a bed. And not a double bed, either. :eek:

Your husband needs a course in anger management. His anger about his hair is a clear red flag that his anger could be redirected toward you.

Very good point Misty.......right now it's his hair. Next time could be his wife. I know we've been somewhat joking about this but it may be the right time to start some serious talks and possible help before it's not just a few days a week but everyday. And then one day without warning........his anger turns towards you Jill.

Hair Rage Wife;

I have a son that was that way during his time in High school. He is now 30 years old and has a burr hair cut. No fuss no muss. He probably got this from me. I have naturally curly hair but wore it straight(styled) for years. I would just about kill if someone touched my hair. It was sprayed stiff and it being curly, if it was mussed evn a little it was impossible to get it to lay back down. THE REMEDY, just let it go natural, I wash it and let dry or spray or dab a little curl booster on it and by the time i get to work it's dry and I run my fingers thru it and loosen the curls up just a little. I can go out in the wind and rain and don't care.Water just curls it back up and if the wind blows it too bad I spray a little water on it and off i go. Tell your husband that life is to short to worry about his hair and appearance. See if he would consent. to a perm w/o the perm soluton first. If it takes in the perm free method it will do great in the perm. You ma use just a little hair gel instead of just water. I love my curls now and don't GET MAD ANYMORE ABOUT MY HAIR.
