'Sympathy' shave?

I have been shaving my head for so many years that I no longer remember what it was like to let my hair grow. Today, however, I told my alopecic and adorable fiancee, Cheryl Carvery, that I might allow my hair grow back. Strange thing is a few minutes ago I started feeling like I should continue shaving my head because Cheryl has alopecia. It's the weirdest feeling and it got me to thinking: How do people living with alopecia feel about their partners shaving their head for sympathetic reasons? Whether or not you have alopecia, I'd love to hear from you on this one.

My best friend of 20 years shaved his head one summer completely bald in support of me making the announcement to the whole school that I had AU, which I had to do when I was in school otherwise people would think i have cancer or some kind of deadly sickness. I think it made me great at public speaking. Love shave, friendship shave, whatever you call it, I'd never discourage someone from trying what it feels like once in there life without hair.
