   This poor guy needs support to leave this controlling relationship, not to be bullied in a national newspaper.

     Anyway this is the topic for one of the angriest things I ever wrote.

     Tl;dr - it is never OK to issue unsolicited ‘corrections’ on how your partner looks. Ever. Columns like the one above feed into the idea that it is, but it’s really, absolutely not OK at all. It’s damaging and cruel.

     He’s literally telling us he’s distressed and worried, and I’m not surprised when she’s so blasé about his feelings and needs... ‘yeah I’m definitely gonna shag him less because he cut his hair, and besides it’s not like men ever have societal pressure about their appearance’ 😡

     Irresponsible to publish this imo.
