Thanks for your thoughts, I think you're all right.
I'm hoping too that once we move in together, my consumption of long hair content will go down, along with my fantasies. And that I'll be able to give all my attention to her and her hair.
The topic of growing her hair out more has come up, but she says she already keeps it longer than she would if we weren't together, and that even her current length can be a pain for her. So I think that's unfortunately off the table.
Anyway, appreciate all the advice guys! Thankful for this forum, I don't have anyone else I can talk about this with haha
