[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Walking ahead of me. [/quote]

Guy here. I can't help it. My legs are long and my natural pace is faster than my DW of 20+years.  Somehow we've made it work![/quote]

Wife of 20+ years (maybe yours) whose husband does this.  IT F-ing RUDE!!! Stop it - we’re not in the Middle East where women have to walk behind you!  If we end up divorced this is one of the reasons.[/quote]

I have a similar situation with my DH. He walks FAST, has long legs and has the good fortune of being in better physical shape than I am. I have arthritis but do keep as active as possible and can walk a couple of miles, as long as it's at my pace.

He is lucky to have good genes and comes from a family where going on 8+ hour non-stop hikes per day is the norm, even for those in their 70s, and sometimes at high altitudes. I simply cannot do that.

Trying to keep up with him was painful, tiring and frustrating. He would stop from time to time, look back at me and have this look of pity on his face while he waited for me to catch up. I couldn't stand that either.

Some may say he should slow down and only do what I can do but that isn't really fair either when he would like to go on a faster, longer hike than I can manage.

Now I just tell him to go ahead without me or I take a shorter path and will meet up with him later. I don't have a problem with this. Physical limitations will hit all couples as they age. Figuring out what works is a collaborative effort.
