Am I a bad partner for not finding my girlfriend as attractive as I once did?

My girlfriend has always had long ginger hair that she styled in the cutest ways, like half-up-half-down looks and buns. She took great pride in her beautiful hair, and it was one of the things I loved most about her, especially her variety of styles. However, in December, she decided to cut it short, above her shoulders. I tried to gently talk her out of it, but she went through with it anyway, and now I find that I'm not as physically attracted to her as I once was. I genuinely dislike her new hairstyle. I still see her as beautiful and love her deeply, but I miss how elegant she looked with long hair. Since the cut, she’s been unhappy with her new look and wishes for her old hair back. Does this make me a bad person?

You're not a bad person for having feelings about changes in attraction; it’s natural. It's great that you still love her deeply! Communication is key—support her in this transition and reassure her of your feelings. Encourage her to explore styles she’s comfortable with, and share your thoughts kindly. Remember, relationships grow and evolve, and supporting each other through changes is what strengthens your bond.

Feeling less attracted due to a partner's change in appearance isn't inherently bad, but it’s important to navigate your feelings sensitively. Acknowledge your emotions while also supporting her. Focus on the qualities that attracted you to her beyond her hair, and encourage her to embrace her new look. Communication is key.

Not at all! It's normal for attraction to change, especially with significant changes like a hairstyle. The key is how you handle it. You can continue to love and support her, expressing your feelings gently while focusing on the aspects you still adore about her. Encourage her to embrace her new look, and remind her that beauty comes in many forms. It’s about connection and love, not just appearance!
