[quote=Anonymous]I am 5'1 with short legs, and my husband is 6'2 with long legs.  During the first few years of marriage, he would slow down his pace so that we could walk together when we were out in public.  However, over the last twenty years, he consistently has walked about fifteen feet ahead of me whenever we go somewhere.  I either have to jog to keep up or accept walking behind alone.  Now, our teenage daughter (who also is tall) is doing the same thing, and I feel doubly left out as I watch them chatting, etc.  I have told him dozens of times that I feel left out walking by myself, but he says that I am a slow walker and that he shouldn't have to slow down his pace.  This weekend, we were all walking in the downtown area of another city.  It was late at night, and there were a number of sketchy-looking people around.  I am recovering from foot surgery and have an even slower pace currently.  They would cross streets without me and leave me behind for the next light to change.  I kept explaining that the doctor said that I was not allowed to run on my foot and that I was afraid of slipping in the rain because I can't entirely feel my foot right now.  Am I wrong that I think they should slow their pace to allow me to keep up with them?  [/quote]
