I Am Rapidly Losing My Hair, And My Wife Is Disgusted by It- How Do I Handle This?
Oct 1, 2020
So, for a bit of background story, my wife and I have been together for almost 10 years now. She is someone who has always cared about appearances, and I honestly never had a problem with it. I am in good shape, but this isn't something I can really control. Earlier this year my hair started to rapidly fall off. I went to a medical professional and he originally prescribed a pill that I could take to help with the hair loss.
By August the pill was doing nothing, my bald spot was growing and my wife started asking me to wear a hat whenever I’m going out. My doctor then suggested I try Rogaine, which I did but it had a fairly nasty side effect of making my scalp constantly itch and extremely dry. My hair loss did completely stop though. However, the side effects have been getting worse. When I saw my doctor yesterday, he immediately asked me to stop using it.
I asked for different treatments but they were not really great, like a hair transplant which are pretty expensive and not covered by our insurance. I told my wife about it today and she made some pretty harsh comments. She essentially asked me to keep using Rogaine and said, “I should just deal with the side effects because she didn’t want to be seen with someone balding".
I said I could just shave my head, and she that would look disgusting. When I asked her what she wanted me to do, she told me to just deal with the side effects then went to bed angry. I’ve honestly been sitting here contemplating our entire marriage now, and frankly, I feel really hurt by her behaviour. I don't really know what I am supposed to do, or how to handle this. Can anyone help?
