post<\/a>, the Redditor wrote that their cousin\u2019s partner was renowned for his \u201cwonderful, thick, wavy hair.\u201d <\/p>\n\u201cThen, just after Christmas he went on a boys camping trip and came back with a shaved head. He was also clean shaven but now is growing a beard,\u201d the user wrote, adding that the bride hadn\u2019t \u201capproved\u201d the big changes and was \u201cbeside herself.\u201d<\/p>\n
They wrote that the groom\u2019s haircut took him from a \u201cpreppy lawyer to looking like a biker\u201d and even aged him 15 years. <\/p>\n
\u201cNobody has any idea why he went and did this. Not even he can provide a good explanation of what went down on the camping trip that would cause him to want to go bald,\u201d the user admitted. <\/p>\n
After he debuted his new look, the cousin wrote, \u201cEverything is in chaos.\u201d They said the bride is even tempted to \u201ccall everything off and break up.\u201d <\/p>\n
The bride\u2019s friends and family are \u201ctrying to talk her down,\u201d and the cousin even offered to get the groom a wig to ear for the big day. However, they wrote that everyone is \u201cin limbo as to whether or not there will even be a wedding.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully the two of them can talk it out but if he really was getting cold feet why didn\u2019t he talk to her about it instead of shaving his head?\u201d they concluded. <\/p>\n
Taking to the comments section, users were split on the response. <\/p>\n
Some argued that calling off the wedding over a haircut seemed a bit extreme, with one Reddit even writing, \u201cMy other issue is that [original poster] had the comment that is was done without the approval of the bride. Like, he does not need her permission for a haircut and to grow a beard.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another defensive Redditor encouraged the bride to call things off, adding, \u201cfor his sake\u201d to imply that she\u2019d be doing her partner a huge favor. <\/p>\n
However, others came out on the bride\u2019s side, arguing that her concerns were being minimized. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s clearly not just [about] the haircut. It\u2019s the fact that he made all these changes only 3 weeks out from the wedding without consulting his wife AT ALL. And then to not even explain his reasonings on the why of it? It\u2019s also not even a haircut, he literally shaved all of his hair completely OFF\u2026 when women shave their heads or make a sudden drastic change to their appearance it is often times brought on by an emotional breakdown of sorts\u2026and men are NOT immune from that ya know,\u201d one user wrote. <\/p>\n
They continued, writing, \u201cIf your partner that you\u2019re literally [about] to commit your life to can\u2019t even bother to consult with you [about] making changes like that, then what else will he do without running it by his wife? Does he not value his bride-to-be\u2019s opinion? And does he really not care enough to offer explanation even [though] his fianc\u00e9 is practically begging for it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMaking a big sudden unilateral decision like that doesn\u2019t exactly signify unity and partnership.. nor does it signify emotional stability,\u201d they wrote, accusing people of \u201cdownplay[ing the situation] to make the bride look like the crazy one for questioning if she wants to go [through] with it.\u201d <\/p>\n
Another user chimed in on the bride\u2019s side, arguing that the haircut was \u201ca big thing just before a wedding.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s about the sudden change, a side of him she had never seen before. If it happened during a normal time in their relationship, I would be 100% on his side. But doing this just before a wedding hits different,\u201d they opined. <\/p>\n
They added, \u201cMy advice is find out what pushed him over the edge so bad that he had to radically change his appearance behind her back. Usually people who act so extreme are going through some sort of anxiety or depression. Is she maybe too pushy sometimes, making him not in control of his life?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
