I 54(M) have been with my husband for 22 years. Just to avoid confusion we are both husbands. For some reason people keep referring to me as his wife.
I have an immune disorder and lost my hair. It was to my shoulders before I lost it. I recently lost my eyebrows too.
This devastated me because I already lost the hair on my head. I feel like my eyebrows made me look better. So it was hard to lose them too.
My husbands sister(my sister in law) and her daughter came over. My husbands sister is 43 and her daughter is 15. My husbands niece looked at me and started laughing. The niece said, “You look so ugly” My husbands niece took a picture of me after she said this.
My heart felt heavy and I went upstairs to our bedroom. I know it seems like a silly thing to cry over. I laid in bed, and covered myself in blankets. I cried into the pillow. My husband kicked his sister and his niece out after his niece refused to apologize.
My husband came upstairs and went into our bathroom. He shaved off his eyebrows to help me feel better. He even shaved the hair off that grew back on his head. My husband tapped me and I looked up at him. My husband said, “You look so sexy. Don’t even stress it. It’s only hair and eyebrows.” I said, “I look so hideous.” My husband said, “Stop that. You look so cute to me. It’s only hair. You have a beautiful face and personality. I love looking at you. Do not talk about yourself that way.”
My husband hugged me so tightly. He made my favorite meal. My husband said, “I know you’ve been feeling sad. I will do anything to help your self esteem. I will even go into work with no eyebrows to show you that you look handsome.”
