Hi everyone!

I'm 5'5 feet tall and my husband is only about an inch taller than me.whenever i stand next to him i feel like i'm bigger than him! or we are the same height.he's thin too.and im average.So even when posing for photographs,i tend to hunch or bend or do something to make the height difference disappear.

This has been bugging me for some time and i just want to know, is height a problem wen it comes to a relationship?should the man be way taller than the woman?or the same height is ok?

Please advise:(

Thanks in advance...

I am 5ft 3 ins and have spent a lifetime dating tall men and was shallow enough to think that tall men were god's gift to women. When you are small and you date a tall man you spend your whole time looking up to him. My partner now is the same height as me and I absolutely love it.

It's only a problem if you make it a problem!

- I'm five foot five - but my boyfriend is only about five foot three - at the most!! - He has never mentioned it and even though I know he is small - I always look on him as cute!! - I couldn't imagine him any other way!!

Being small can have its advantages in the bedroom too! - Not all women like "large" men!

Emaz help agony auntIt shouldn't really be a 'problem' and if you love them then it shouldn't matter either. Personally i couldn't date anyone shorter than me but as long as they are slightly taller thats ok

Height really isn't that big of a deal although it can seem like it to someone who prefers the man being taller. My boyfriend is my exact height or I might be a bit taller than him, just like your situation. Personally I have always preferred a taller man but when you really love someone like I love my boyfriend and I'm sure the way you love your husband it isn't a big deal at all. I promise no one cares or even thinks about it. No one's commenting on the height or you and your husband. It's not a big deal. Don't let it have any effect on your relationship. It's something that can't be controlled.

For me personally since my bf and I are the same height I just never wear high-heels and try to stick to flatter shoes. Just don't dwell on it.

One of the best relationships I've heard about came from a girl who was a model and was a lot taller than her bf. But they were a really great couple together and she never let it bother her. She even wore heels with him and it wasn't a problem for their relationship.

But think of it this way. If you are the same height you have easier access for kissing ;). Also there is a sexual benefit if you 69. Think of the good things!
