I think it's just an easy line to cross from wanting to please an SO with facets of appearance to *getting permission* to change things...That's what irks me. Fortunately I've not had to deal with that in my marriage, but I have friends whose husbands are so invested in the color and length of their hair it's creepy. One friend in particular, her husband wants her to always keep her hair eactly the same (length, color, style) as when they met/married. WTF? Thirteen years later, she'd like a change, but Noooooo. He throws a fit. So she *gives in* and leaves it be.
