I'm 5'4 and my wife is 5"7, We have been togather 28 years and Married 26 of them. Our kds are verry good looking and well adusted. Being with someone you like is much more important than what they look like and he knows he is shorter than you.

I never had an issue dating taller women and never understood why some guys would. My thought was always, I'm dating a tall sexy, funny and smart woman, what's not to love? Second, on the issue of high heels. If wearing high heels makes you feel confident, beautiful and sexy, why would he object? Sounds like it's a winning situation for him. Third, he clearly doesn't have a short guy complex or you would have notice the height difference before you were in bare feet. If a short guy doesn't ave a short guy complex people tend to think he is an inch or two taller than he is. In my experience the woman is more concerned about height than the guy is. Once in college, I was trying to pick-up a girl in a bar who was taller than me by a good three inches. I was making progress but I could tell something was holding her back. We finally got to the point where she just said the issue was our height difference. I told her no problem, because height wouldn't matter once we were laying down. Deal closed and we dated for three months.

Bottom line, if you want to know if he cares if you wear heels that make you feel sexy, just ask him.

What a great post, and I think you're wife is one lucky woman! I'm guessing that you're equally lucky! I'm 5'10" and although my husband is 2 inches taller, I dated quite a few guys who were shorter when I was single. I agree--it's all about one's attitude, perception of self, personality, character, and the whole "soulmate" thing. I also think that body build can make a difference, if either person in a relationship wonders about the couple's "appearance" to others. I think it helps if the guy's build isn't super thin with a heavier woman. Even so, it really shouldn't matter.
