I’ve been with partner 9 years and I would be gutted if he said that to me, not because I want or need his approval of how I look, but because it’s mean! And even if he prefers it light, why the need for comment about making her look old? Totally out of order!I think the new hair colour looks lovely. Really suits her and I am sure Keri doesn't give a monkeys that Mr Coco prefers it lighter.
To be fair I think they have been together long enough that he can tell her if he doesn't like it but equally Keri isn't some shrinking violet that is concerned about looking the way her husband likes her to look.
