Am I the jerk for telling my wife off after getting our daughter to cut her hair off, even after being told not to?

0:06.7

My wife is currently battling cancer, and one of the things she's told me she's struggling with the most was losing her hair.

0:12.7

She's been given a near 100% chance of survival since we caught her early, but the chemotherapy has destroyed her hair anyway, and she had to shave what was left of it off

0:21.7

a few weeks ago. Not long after that, she suggested we attempt to get our 17-year-old daughter, Anna,

0:27.5

to do so as well. Now, Anna has very long hair that she puts a lot of care into, so I felt

0:32.8

it was appropriate to ask her in private if she wanted to or would be willing to do such a thing.

0:38.6

She told me that she didn't want to cut her hair and I figured that that was the end of that.

However, yesterday they came home from a girl's shopping trip, something they do every so often.

0:48.2

When I went to bed, I brought it up with my wife and she said, it was Anna's choice too or not.

1:11.8

I just told her how I'd see the situation I told her off saying she needed to respect Anna's personal choices

1:16.7

and that a 17 year old girl being against shaving her head wasn't exactly out of the ordinary

1:22.0

however my wife simply said it was to show support for her I've been sleeping on the couch

1:27.0

since yeah I love my

1:28.5

wife and I understand that she's going through something traumatic. However, her attitude comes off

1:33.3

as very manipulative to me and that's not behavior that I feel I can personally accept. I'm not

1:38.9

sure if I can move past this to continue the relationship. So, am I the jerk? Okay, this one a little bit more cut and dry

1:46.5

than the last one. I'm really interested to see the comments from that. Nonetheless, this is a,

1:52.9

yeah, obviously just your wife's just done something terrible. Like, fine, going through cancer,
