It's this woman's first day back to work and her husband lets her know she looks nice as he pours her a cup of coffee. After she takes a sip she pauses and is filled with new courage and removes her wig to reveal her bald head. Her husband couldn't be more supportive as he...

Well, I do not care for coffee-mate, but this commercial has real merit.  I feel sad Jenny that your husband is unable to see the real you.  You do not say how his response to seeing you without your wig makes you feel, I can only imagine.  I have lost my hair over a period of 6 years with scarring alopecia. I had very individual hair which was often commented upon and I was devastated at the thought of it all going for ever.  However, during this period, my partner of 25 years became terminally ill and one of the last things he said to me when I was caring for him at home, was 'you are so much more than your hair, never forget that when I am gone'.  He died two years ago, and when I put my little elfin-cut wig on, I smile and thank him for the confidence he gave me, as a lasting legacy of his love.

Ugh, this commercial just aggravated me, frankly. It didn't seem even remotely realistic from my experiences. My husband doesn't even want to SEE me without my wig, and he would be absolutely appalled if I suggested going to work without it. (Not to mention there are some people who would probably be fired if they did -- I know one woman who flat-out said that about her job.)

I guess I appreciate the intent, and I certainly don't mean to insult anybody who liked it, but to me it felt so fake that I wasn't sure whether to laugh or roll my eyes or both.

Such a touching commercial and I always love to see those men that truly love their mates for who they are. This does my heart good. To the young man whose girlfriend broke up with him, give this young lady time and space and always be there as a friend. We all need friends as we walk down this road together.

Susan, I hope she didn't break up with him because she felt insecure about her alopecia - that would be sad.  I love that your son is still emotional about it though and I hope he finds happiness, if not with her, then with another nice girl!
