The other thing that the complaining husbands out there need to realize, is that all that primping and preening women do while single to attract men take a lot of time and money.
So when she comes home from the stores laden down with new clothes, don't gawk when you see the bill. You want her hair to still look long and flowing, how about paying for regular salon treatments? Don't forget to add waxing, manicures and gym memberships.
The reason she chopped off her hair after pregnancy is probably because 1) she's trying to save money on the salon visits; and 2) there is no time in her daily schedule to give long hair the time it takes. Likewise spending hours in the department stores finding flattering clothes.
Give her a reason to get out of those sweats. Spring for a romantic dinner date at an expensive restaurant, the way you used to.
It's no coincidence that men bringing in the big bucks tend to have the wives who look like they can afford to pamper themselves. They can.
