breaking up is hard to do
for the past few days i have to admit that i'm thinking about breaking up with her.
it's been about 8 years and, while things are steady and stable, they're not quite as exciting as they used to be. oh, we still talk, and she still does a good job, but i don't think the effort to make me happy is there like it once was. sometimes i can tell she's just going through the motions, not really "into" what she's doing. it makes me a little sad but, to be honest, i think i've been thinking about it for a while...
what? like you guys haven't ever thought about switching stylists? SHEESH!
seriously, i'm thinking about going to a different hair cutter (stylist sounds really pompous i think). but i really have been going to my current cutter for almost 8 years, since right after bwe and i got together. all the above is true. she still does a pretty good job, but i don't think she's trying to keep my business, ya know?
here's my question, and dilemma, for today:
if i'm gonna step out on her, how do i do it tactfully? cancel an appointment, get it cut somewhere else and, if i don't like the new cutter, go back in a month? should i tell her that i'm thinking about stepping out? i'm pretty sure i'm the only guy this side of heterosexuality who's ever been concerned about his relationship with his cutter but, after all, we're talking about my hair. it's not like it's a doctor or something trivial like that...
suggestions and comments needed...

You could tell her you've decided to grow it out, thus not needed her services. But that could backfire if you ever see her in public with a new cut.
Or you could say your girlfriend wants to cut it and you have no choice, as she's got you by the balls... I actually used that excuse, except that then she really did start cutting my hair, and it aint exactly GQ...
Damn I guess I'm not much help.
You don't have to apologize for your actions, or justify them. Just go to someone else and be happier (hopefully), or return and don't sweat it.
well, bwe (that's best wife ever for the uninitiated) is a groomer, so that might fly. but i have a personal relationship with my cutter. i'd say we're actually (kinda) friends. we're friendly at least. i ask about her family, she about mine, etc.
Wasn't there a Seinfeld episode about this?
Kristin Smith at Fruition on Belmont Boulevard.
'Nuff said. She's a bad a$$.
And typically, you don't have to say a word to the old one. It happens all the time. They understand.
