Social Dilemma: Should My Wife Be Upset Because I Didn't Notice Her Haircut

Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Karl and it's about compliments. Here's the email: Hi Jaime. I'm in a little trouble with my wife. We've been married for 26 years. I love her dearly, but she's still very sensitive when it comes to compliments. Recently, my wife decided to cut her hair and change the color from light brown to bright red. I didn't particularly like the change, but I want my wife to be happy and if that makes her happy, good for her. However, I didn't compliment her hair change because as I said, I prefered it the way it was before. Well, she was furious with me for not saying something to her about it. What should I have said? I don't like the new look? That would have been worse? So is the lesson that you should compliment any change, even if you don't like it? Help me out. I'm serious. I'm not sure what I should have done differently. Thanks for the advice ~ Karl. This is a tough situation that we've all been in. I will always make the statement that I notice the change. Something like, "oh you changed your hair, that's great." I'm not saying I think it's great, I'm saying I think it's great that you did something for yourself. So what do you think Karl should have done? Let's help him out and let me know on the TRY Facebook page.
