Fatherly Advice agony auntJust to add another anecdote to Peanut Butter's My grandparents have been married over 60 years. My grandmother is quite a bit taller than granddad. I won't say they never had a hiccup in their marriage, After all I Wasp's around for quite a bit of it. I will say this tho, you will never have to wear high heals if you don't want to.

Personally I stopped growing at 5' 5" (165 cm). The thing that bothers me the most is when you look at personal ads and the girls write that they are only interested in guys that are 5'10" (178 cm) or taller. What is a short guy supposed to do? Get stretched? Is he less valuable as a person if he is less tall? no use getting down about it, because there really is nothing that can change it. I did date a few taller girls in high school and college and other than some good natured ribbing from guys I never had a problem.

Hello fellow tall girl!

It's normally us girls that have to worry about the height of their guys so it's nice to see you are not bothered.

Well you are but only because he keeps going on about it.

You just need to give him some tough love. If he mentions it again then get annoyed and say "fine! well if it will make you happy then we can split up and you can find a midget and I'll be alone if you don't want me." Obviously he's going to say he wants to be with you so he's going to say he doesn't want to split up. So you just have to tell him that you don't care about his height and just want him to get over him because what does bother you is his moaning all the time.

Good Luck!! xx

ilovebowsandcherries agony auntif you both love eachother why does height matter?

i'm sure other people don't care about your height difference and im sure he doesn't.

there are lots of different types of couples out there and they all come in different shapes and sizes and being different it what attracts people to eachother.

so don't worry. :)

PeanutButter agony auntIf you love someone height makes no difference, it might fel strange at first but you'll get used to it and just be yourselves!

My friend is 6'2 and her husband is 5'7, they have been together over 20 years and hae 2 grown children, so anything is possible - if he loves you and you him, it doesnt matter.

If you really worry about it, try wearing flat shoes and buy him some cuban geels or boots with thick soles...

Good luck!!
