I've been with my second husband 10 years this Feb, and at 5'5 " he's actually

the shortest person I've ever been with. All through middle/high

school/University I dated guys who were tall ... not just in the 5 foot some

range, but over six feet. The tallest bloke I've dated in my life was back in

high school, he came in at a height of 6'3 " tall. Yeah, sure it was odd when

we'd stroll down the beach at night or just doing just about anything public,

but it never bothered us in the least, we dated for 2 years even.

In all honesty, how I ended up with my current husband is a mystery, even my

ex was 5 " 7, but height really doesn't matters when it's an affair of the coeur

as they say. My husband thinks nothing about the fact I'm short and that I have

to ask him to reach for just about everything. It was his idea to keep a step

stool in the kitchen at all times, only because about six years back I nearly

killed myself trying to climb up for a glass like I was used to doing and got

dizzy. Now that my Lupus has started to take an even worse turn on me this past

year he became even more supportive of me; he helps dress me since I can no

longer do buttons, he keep a watchful eye on me when I'm showering so I don't

fall or get dizzy, he does all the cooking, cleaning, bathes and feeds the kids

.... heck, he's just a wondrous miracle! And never once in all these years has he

ever cared that I'm short, any more than he cares that our youngest daughter is

so small. He's 100% deadset against any hormone

therepy for her, his attitude is if she's small, so be it!

It just goes to show that love is the best thing one can have when you have a

mismatched pair eh? I'd agree with everyone who said to tell your BF not to

worry about your height and just keep making you happy. Love really is the best

thing he can do for you I say!

Thirty-five is a very attractive age. London society is full of women of the

very highest birth who have, of their own free choice, remained thirty-five for

years.
