Thanks LHCF - Husband appreciates my naturalness

[apemay1969]

I'm not sure if this is the right forum or not but here goes. My husband and I went grocery shopping today. I was in the middle of researching for a paper and so I hadn't really focused on my 'fro that morning. I decided to just run with him without doing much.

Well, after we left the store he started with 'you know, I just want to say something'. I got a little nervous but he followed that with "I really appreciate you and I want you to know that' He said that sometimes when we're out and I just let my 'fro go where it wants to, I get looks from our AA women with a kind of disgust or snicker. (I didn't notice). He says that he appreciates that I am not that superficial and that I accept people for whatever style they have. He said that I usually have my head high and I smile no matter what I'm wearing. He also said that I know how to 'dime up' if I want to.

Now I have seen natural hair on this board and mine really ain't that wild or big. I just live in a hick a$$ wanna be big city and our people here can't get past a wrap or braids.

The funny thing is most of the women that I've kind of gotten a bad vibe from are usually wack as heck. In my opinion and I ain't even like that.

I truly appreciate this forum for giving me the courage to be me. I also appreciate my husband for loving me for who I am.

Yeah it kind of redeems him from the 'You know sometimes you look like you just got released from somewhere' statement he made last year.

WOW...he's lucky he lived to see another day after that statement!

Congrats on having such a supportive man in your life. There have been many women on this very site who have not had much support from their husbands/SO's about going natural.

Yes he did live. He's thin, dark and sometimes his low cut gets a little long. AFter he said that I said 'yeah and sometimes you look like a dirty q-tip' and walked away. I didn't even look back because I know he was looking at me with the bottom lip of his Jay-Z soup coolers sitting on his chin.

nerve to talk about somebody....

( I love his lips though y'all, Bey, you know what I'm talking about)

I'm glad you shared this. This is great. It is nice to hear a story about a husband liking his wife's natural hair instead of the opposite that we usually get on here. Thanks again for sharing!
