To ask about height differences in couples?

[Pinkginxx]

Just seen a Fail article about 6'7 Richard Osman and his 5'2 girlfriend. Worthy of many pictures and comments.
I'm just under 5'0 and partner is 6'2. So not a dissimilar height difference. Am a worthy of a Fail article? (And not to mention all the vile comments that came with about her not having to go on her knees etc)

Carrie and Aidan always made me cringe! He's too big for her-she's teeny, it looks weird.
Tall men always seem to be with tiny women though. I'm not tall but I have big hair and high heels () and was always getting chatted up by short men. I don't mind a shorty, it's better in bed.

My ex-wife is 149cm tall and I'm 194.

It was never a problem, although people sometimes commented that photos of us together reminded them of C3PO and R2D2.

I'm 5'3 my other half is 6'7
I love it !

I’m 5’3 and XH was about a foot taller. I was looking at old photos with DC recently and the top of my head was level with his shoulder.

I’m hoping DC will be somewhere in between, but my parents had a similar height difference and DB is tall like DF and I’m short like DM so who knows how DC will turn out 😂

I'm taller than my partner (not by much) but it makes wearing heels very difficult.
He absolutely adores my height and follows my insecure comments with how lucky he is to be with a tall model.
I worry about what people think and say behind our backs but he just says "he's the little rich businessman with a stunning model girlfriend" makes it a lot easier and I have come to realise it looks worse when I'm slouching and looking uncomfortable than when were strutting our stuff down the street looking a million bucks!
I hope this helps any self-conscious, beautifully tall ladies. xxx

He also puts things on high shelves and forgets, even after 18 years, that I wont be able to reach them!

I'm 5ft 2 and dh is 6ft6 and after 38yrs together he still does the above

We have 2 boys, the oldest (21) appears to have stopped growing at 6ft but the 17yr old is already 6ft3 and growing almost weekly it seems

I’m 5’6” and my husband is 6’.

5'3 and 6'3. Our girls are 5'7 and 5'8.

I’m 6’1 and DH is 6’3. I got lucky as normally tall men seem to go for short women, IME.

I’m 5’3” and a bit (the bit is important!) and my DH is 6’2”.
Only issue we’ve ever encountered was that my mother insisted I wore heels on my wedding day because “it will even out the height difference in pictures” I hate to admit it, but she was right. The professional photos where I still had my heels on do look better than the photos from the reception - as soon as I arrived, I changed into lace-covered white converse.

I am 5ft 8, so not small for a woman. But dh is just over 6ft 4. My exh was 5ft 6. Its taken me ages to get used to looking up. It really odd, feeling so small as well. Especially if I don't have shoes on.

On the upside, I can now wear heels. Exh was very paranoid about his height and I couldn't wear heels without an almighty melt down.

@Subeccoo
Snap, 5ft 3 and 6ft 4 here too.
I can’t wear heels these days but we don’t care. I did have a heel in wedding photos so the height difference a bit less obvious.

I’ve had oartners talker than me and partners shorter than me. I don’t care, it’s not important who is taller. And it’s all the same on the horizontal!

Coorrection: pressed send before correcting typos.

I have had partners taller than me and partners shorter than me. I don’t care, it’s not important who is taller. And it’s all the same on the horizontal.

I think we need a spin off thread here on where these tall guys get their clothes. I've just bought DH an eye watering expensive Goretex jacket, still had to hunt it down on ebay as its the only one long enough and technical enough for him!

I'm 5'3", DH is 6'4". He is also built very large (broad- shouldered etc), whereas I'm relatively petite. I have size 3 feet.

Our DD definitely takes after DH. She will be taller than me by puberty, I think...

At the risk of repeating an OLD joke....

"Men and women are the same height lying down.... give or take a few inches"

I'm 5ft 2 and dh is 6ft6 and after 38yrs together he still does the above

There's no hope for me then! See also: forgetting his stride is double mine, so strolling along whilst I run to keep up.

I'm 5ft10 and DH is 6ft
My brother is 6ft4 and his girlfriend is 5ft

I was talking to my sister about this thread today and she reminded me of her boyfriend in uni who had dumped her because she was too tall.

Sister is 5’ 9” give or take. He was a couple of inches shorter. You’d swear they were David and Goliath the way he carried on!

Now, I wouldn’t have dated him but dsis genuinely didn’t notice/mind a height difference!

My ex of 3 years was 6”10 compared to my 5”5. People constantly commented on his height but not the height difference to be fair.
