New here, looking for a bit of advice...
Basically, it's not me who's going bald, it's my partner. When I first met him, he had a head full of hair, but that was several years ago. Now that we're actually together, he does have a very obvious patch on the top of his head where he's going bald.
Today is the first time he indicated that it might bother him.
Honestly speaking, the fact that he's losing his hair at a young age doesn't bother me. I still find him attractive. I just don't know how to support him properly and find the right words to let him know that yes, I know the bald spot is there, that it's going to get worse, but that it doesn't affect how I see him. He was going bald when we first started going out. It's not as if it happened half way through our relationship or anything, and I've been 'tricked'.
I can only imagine that hair loss is a very sensitive issue, so I'm not sure how to bring it up in conversation. I've always wondered if it bothered him, and today he made a comment in passing which alerted me to the fact that it really does.
I just want to make it clear that I find the whole package great, and that I don't love him 'in spite of' anything.
I guess what I'm asking is, for all of you men losing your hair (especially those of you in your early 20s), what is it that you'd like your partners to do to support you? Would you like them to talk to you about it, or avoid making it a big deal and just not say anything?
