All my life, exact opposite, I’ve always had curly and wanted it straight. Humility was the worst for my hair. Like you, I finally gave up.I have relentlessly straight baby-fine hair and kept trying to get curls, waves, body, SOMETHING.
I finally gave up after a body perm made my hair look like Angela Davis’s. (I kept telling them that they needed to take down a test curl, but nooo...)
Well, I do have to say that when either hubs said something along the lines of “why don’t you do thus and so with your hair”, I immediately replied, “why don’t you do that with your hair, and we’ll see how it works out?”As long as he likes it, you’re in the good.

Hubs 2 only said it once and Got It immediately, which (among many many many other reasons, all more important) is why he’s The Keeper. Hubs 1 never grasped that. Bless his heart. View attachment 200840
I blame myself for H1. If I’d had my head screwed on straight, it wouldn’t have happened.Clink of the wine glass on that, we’ve all had that problem., or some of us have.
I know, life slows down some when we get older (thank goodness and thank God for that). I also had to forgive myself, even when it was hard, absolutely hard to do so, but eventually learned it was ok to be myself who I am and just be happy.I blame myself for H1. If I’d had my head screwed on straight, it wouldn’t have happened.
It’d have been nice if I’d had the insight/ guidance/ whatever to have approached marriage properly, instead of a “sure, why not”, but no point in weeping over water under the bridge.
What’s important is that I learned from my mistakes, Keeper learned from his, we developed realistic expectations from one another, and grew a sense of humor, and now we’re doing it right. I had to forgive myself for not being perfect before being able to forgive others for failing the same impossible standard.
