WalkedUp Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 How do I tactfully tell my wife? 😳 She’s is (was 😂) blonde and proud that she doesn’t dye her hair but out for a walk today noticed a few grey hairs starting out. I decided not to tell her as I despair of ‘controlling’ behaviour but at the same time she will discover I have ‘kept it a secret’. Damned if I do, damned if I don’t!

Cosmicblue Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 You can try something tactful like 'you are so lucky to be maturing gracefully darling - one or two blonde hairs are changing'...…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkedUp Posted January 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Thanks for the good advice, favouring Cosmicblue’s tact for the sake of marital harmony. Nonetheless I’ve been in the good books for a few weeks so seems crazy to risk it all whilst I’m on a decent streak.  I am shooting all day Saturday and then going straight out for an evening flight on teal and mallard - no doubt I’ll be in the dog house anyway that evening so I will save the matter until then - time to build up courage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powler Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Go out for the day and when you do park down the road and ring her, tell her you heard someone comment on her grey hair, then hang up before she goes off on one, then by the time you have got home in the evening she may have calmed down, but ring first to check and if not stay out night shooting.

clumber Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 The OH refers to hers as platinum, never grey. I've lost / shave mine so I say nowt, best you do the same me thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushkin Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Be a man and say nothing about them - even when she says haven't you noticed them? Tell her you are still so in awe of how good she looks that you really hadn't noticed - then take her out somewhere nice😄 Pushkin🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) Be a man at take the wee wee out of her over it. Ash blonde I think my wife calls it. Tell her you need to check the beard for grey hairs too. Pushkin if I said all that she'd know I noticed and was lying, earning me some near future pain. Having a laugh about it she'd be ok, especially when you tell her it matches her wrinkles and saggy bits 😂.

figgy Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 I'm hurt you'd think that we don't have your best interests at heart. We are trying to make your relationship better as you age. Now tell her you love her wrinkles and grey hairs and the ones growing out of her chin and top lip are a top turn on.  You could say darling it's not the grey hairs I'm worried about, it's the bald patch your getting 🤩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
