OMG, pinksoil, I had this same thing happen about a month ago! I had really, really long hair, all one length, and got it cut in layers to above my shoulders, like pageboy length or so. I looked really different. T did not even notice. And my guy is not the psychoanalytic sort. He's humanist for God's sake! I guess my new haircut must have really looked bad so he didn't comment--you know, don't say anything if you can't say something nice. It so sucks to hang on their every word, doesn't it?

BTW, pinksoil, I think your new hair sounds very cool, especially the highlights. (((hugs)))
