She was probably just trying to be funny, but that is annoying.
Don't let her immaturity get you down!
that's super mean. try not to let it bother you too much... i think you guys look great together!
@LatteLove: The sad thing is that she is a couple of years older than I am - she is 44 - sigh - but thank you - you are right - simple immaturity
you guys look happy, and that is the most important thing. I am like 3 inches taller than my FI, who cares! Just means.. there is something a little EXTRA special about them that they can snag a model ;-)
Why did you laugh? Tell her how you feel. If she thinks that you think it is funny - this could be an ongoing joke for her.
@2ndtime: Oh I did not laugh - I was just super polite and told her that I was fine with his height and it doesn't bother either of us but she kept going on and on - Hopefully she will get over it eventually sigh
The one little comment about wearing heals, was probably not the issue I'm assuming. Lots of people will make little comments about things, not that it's right but they do. I'm sure it was the continuing of it right? DH is a big guy and people make comments all the time. The first comment doesn't bother me but if they carry on it's just mean spirited. I tell them to back off. You should do the same.
@unixfairy: Aw I'm sorry! That wasn't nice of her at all, and good for you for being polite but firm about it.
@mwitter80: I agree. But I'm a meanie when people are just being rude, I'd probably tell her that the only small people in this situation are the ones talking about others and let her chew on that one for a while. I'm glad the OP is more level-headed than I am :-)
I have a GORGEOUS friend who is way taller than her husband. She is also very fashion forward and loves to rock the 6" heels. She really does tower over her hubby at times, but she owns it and so does he! Next time she makes a comment like that stand up for yourself and for your FH. You two are adorable and who is SHE to laugh about height? I'm never one to bash non-blood relatives to their faces, but you better believe I'd have some choice words about my own brother to his wife should she ever say anything.
I would ignore it. It doesn't sound malicious, but it was hurtful. It doesn't warrant making a big deal about.
Ohhh SIL"s. I would ignore it. If you makes you feel any better, I wish thats all I had to deal with from my SIL. grrrrrrr :)
@unixfairy: Oh! I must have misread your op. Glad you didn't laugh with her. I'd still tell her though.
@MrsNeutrino: Good lord woman you are beyond STUNNING!!! And an adorable couple too!
I'm tall too and I hate when people do this. I'm sorry. It's great to be tall! You guys look like a great couple!
I totally get this. I am 6' and FI is all of 5'8" if he isn't slouching. But that is exactly how I knew he was the one. We could see past that shallow thing and love each other anyway. Don't let them get you down!!
Im taller than my FI too... When someone makes a comment about it I tell them well i love and that has nothing to do with height. If i want to rock some 6 inch heals thats none of your buisness... And BTW You guys look great together dont let her get you down!!
Ha! Oh man, I can relate. I'm taller than he is too. Whatever. Rock it. You're tall, he loves you, and you two are cute.
So I was talking to my SIL yesterday and she started in about it again. I said we did not care. She kept going on that I cannot wear heels ever with him. I explained he loved me in heels and called me a goddess. So she kept going and I sweetly reminded her that it did not matter when we were laying down. So she kept on going on about it and I explained why standing up sex was better with a shorter guy.
FINALLY SHUT HER UP LOL LOL LOL
@unixfairy: Oh my! You got her told! If only she had paid attention to your reaction in the first place. That was some quick thinking my dear. Congratulations on the quick and awesome comeback!
@unixfairy: LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It totally is better!!!!!!!!!!!! BC they dont have to do that wierd squat thrust! LMFAO!!!!!
What? RUDE. I think it's a great picture, and honestly it's not like its a huge height difference even! I'm 4'11", my ex was 6'3"....now that did look a bit um, unbalanced? But seriously, people need to get over it...especially this stereotype that men should be taller than their wives/GFs/FIs.
Just ignore her... she's being ridiculous (and maybe she's a bit jealous that you're getting to have a wedding, etc. and she's just trying to steal some of your joy)! I'm laughing so hard about the standing up sex comment... so true, and so funny! I bet she was just speechless!
I'm taller than my FI and to just get over what everyone is thinking we just make fun of it out in the open ourselves. Either way RUDE on her part! It's not like it's not obvious to you!!!!
@Beluga: I literally LOLed
You look fine, wear heels if you want, maybe she's just jealous of your height...I know I am, lol. Being 5'3 is no fun, especially when your hubby is 6'3. now WE look awkward, lol. But do I care? nope.
Her telling you to ALWAYS WEAR FLATS is like someone telling me to ALWAYS WEAR HEELS. It's dumb. I'm glad you shut her up, lol.
Your SIL is mean. You and your FH look really happy together and it's a great pic. She really has no right to call you up and laugh about it.Very rude on her part.
@unixfairy: I was gonna suggest that you say he dwarfs you in the bedroom because there he's huge and he's the god. make her really uncomfortable about it and she won't want to mention it again.
I was at my FMIL house and her partner made a comment about knowing my FI isn't very well endowed which everyone had a good laugh about and it was clearly bothering my FI so I said well he clearly knows what he's doing with it because we have a baby and I am marrying him you lot have never been married have you?? funnily enough it was never mentioned again lol
I just saw George Clooney on the golden globes with whoever she is that's taller than him. I think guys that are just fine with women taller than themselves are real confident and self assured and I like that about them. Don't you?
Too many people yap without thinking first. Like we have to know everything they're thinking. My grandmother had a name for them: "Idiots."
I'm pretty sure among men it's a symbol of status and wealth to have a tall blond lady on your arm. I think you guys are really cute together and um, he looks pretty freakin' proud of you so I wouldn't worry. Besides, count yourself lucky that you have better things to do than carry on TWO phone conversations with your husband's sister insisting that she not wear heels out with her husband.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
OK this is stupid but I was nice about it when I was on the phone but OMG I am really irritated! I need to vent. I am taller than my FI, he is from the Phillipines, and I am 5" taller. I was chatting with my SIL today (my brother's wife) and she mentioned the picture of us I sent at Easter. She was like "wow I hope you aren't wearing heels" & "we laughed so hard" etc etc. She went on several minutes and I just thought ummm how really rude. I just let her know that it really did not bother me and gritted my teeth through her monologue but really was that necessary.
Sigh!!! I think we are fine together! It is not a great picture - was snapped by my 13 year old who hates operating the camera but I do not think it is laughable.
