'Xian' is fairly standard shorthand for 'Christian' and has been used by Xians since oh about 1650. Like Xmas, y'know? Just saves my carpal tunnel that's all.

Why cant she pull it back into a braid or pony tail...it would still be the long hair "required" yet it would eliminate dropping all the loose hair all over the place?

Thank you for actually considering the problem and not focusing on the fact that we still take some bits of the NT literally.

However, and again I should have explained things better, braiding her hair tight enough to actually do any good feels to her like she has something on her head...ie feels similar to wearing a scarf or bonnet. So no, that isn't a solution.

A pony tail wont make her feel as if she has something on her head. Its just pulling back into an elastic band. No braids at all.
I still think that you are the one who needs the help. You seems to have an unnatural aversion to hair whch goes way past the normal.

Like Raymond, I have never seen it being used before. Maybe it is an American thing?

When hair is evenly dispersed, the weight of it is not as noticable as when it is gathered up. My daughter has hair past her butt and she pulls it back into a pony tail and is used to the feel of it. My hair wont ever get longer than a few inches below my shoulders because I am old and it breaks off before it can reach any length.

But there was a day when I had it pretty long and it does feel weightier when pulled into a pony tail or especially one big braid. How about many many braids evenly dispersed all over her head?

I can sort of understand the aversions...when my son shaves or trims his hair and leaves it in the sink or floating in the toilet, I get disgusted. Or when I clean out the shower or bathroom plugs it grosses me out to pull out all that wad of hair...looks like giant cat vomit.

I'll try to think of something else, cant figure for the life of me why God would put you in a predicament like this???

P.S. I am American born. Never heard of Xians either, but to each their own.

Yes I dont think there are many if us who like fishing out hair from the plug hole, but to have to shave off your own hair because you cant stand any hair at all, is over the top and needs help. I used to have long hair and one of my daughters has pretty long hair, but never any problems with a pony tail.
I am sure that your wife could have a few inches cut off and still have long hair, after all the Bible never mentions actual length and the men usually wore it long also, unlike today when the norm is to have short hair for men.

Ah well He does indeed move in mysterious ways. Although actually I don't believe God has much to do with it. We've put ourselves in this predicament. My Wife's mental illness was the result of falling in love with and having babies by an alcoholic violent, armed criminal/killer (Me in a past life, I came to faith while looking at two murder charges with the world's worst hangover in a police cell one morning a long time ago).

She does wear a pony tail on occasions but very loose (so it doesn't help much) and can't bear it for long.

I would pray. I would ask the Lord to help you to appreciate the beautiful hair He has given to your wife in the spirit of it being her covering. I agree with Chosen, the aversion you have is not within the normal range, but neither is shaving your own head (how did your wife like it when you did that)?

If you find hair in your food, then you can discuss having your wife tie it back while preparing food. If you find it in your tool box or anywhere else, ask her to please remove it like I do when I find it all over the bathroom sink from my son or husband.

Do not make your dear (lucky) wife feel bad about what the Lord has given her. It is supposed to be to her physical glory. This aversion is designed from the enemy and is being used to cause contention and make your wife seem less appealing.

She quite likes the look actually

I cook....she isn't capable due to her condition.

Yeah you might not be wrong about that.

Forever · 20th February 2011, 01:56 AM

Glad she likes the way you look, glad you can and do cook, and now your job is to get with the Lord and ask Him to reveal the root of the problem and deliver you from that stronghold.
Best wishes and Blessings to you and your Bestes Wife!

No its a brit thing

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the use of the
abbreviation "xian" or "xtian" for "Christian" dates back at least as
far as 1634. Before that, it was more usual to take the first two
letters of XPICTOC, and write "xpian" for "Christian". Priests would
record Christenings using the shorthand "xpen" or "xpn".

, however now probably an interwebz thing! Punching "Xian Christian" into google gets 1,750,000 results so maybe you just haven't spoken to enough Xians online?

No actually I have. I was on a British Christian friendship site for 2 years before I met my husband, have been on an other Christian forum for 4 years and now on this one for about 6-9 months.Never seen it before.
