My wife had tailbone-length beautiful sleek brunette hair and dark eyes.

In the course of time, I heard her mistaken because of her looks for an Italian, Spaniard, Arab (from totally different countries), Moroccan, Armenian, Turk, and once, I think, even for a Native American - although both her parents came from East Germany and her father even was blond, with blue eyes. One of her sisters looks a little like ABBA´s blonde Agnetha.

She never took any particular interest in my long hair.

But I did in hers. Although I never mentioned my fetish to her. I always was afraid that in her eyes, that would reduce my passion for her to that particular aspect, and thus insult her.
