Your husband might be trying to see how far he can go with what you’ll accept. By pulling this “prank,” he could be gauging your reaction. If you let it slide without showing that it’s unacceptable, he may continue to push boundaries, gradually escalating his behavior. The most effective way to handle this is to communicate that you won’t tolerate such actions, especially from someone who is supposed to protect and support you as a partner.
Cutting someone’s hair without their consent is considered assault and bodily harm. If you choose to, you can file a report with the police. This isn’t just about overstepping personal boundaries—it’s a serious violation.

If divorce isn’t your immediate choice, consider separating for a while. You must insist he sees a therapist. The way he “pranked” you was not only cruel but also abusive. Something that shifted his perception of you might have happened recently—perhaps a promotion or a compliment from someone else that sparked his resentment. However, this doesn’t justify his actions.
Suppose you’re sure that nothing specific could have triggered this behavior. In that case, it might be wise to suggest he checks in with a professional about his mental health or other potential health issues.
