I mean how do you know? Do you really believe your sister tells you everything bout her relationship? Have you been with them every moment?

Maybe he'll choose a taller spouse.

+1 I'm the wife too. I can't stand going slow. I try to slow down, but it's hard.

+@ It is hard, and actually uncomfortable for me.

Me three. I am constantly leaving my husband and son behind.

My XH did that too and I didn’t really notice it until almost the end of the marriage. It was one inconsiderate thing that become apparent in a bunch of inconsiderate things that I really noticed once the veil of blind love was lifted. The issue isn’t that he’s walking in front of you, it’s that he’s being inconsiderate for no reason. I never mentioned it to my Xh because the marriage was about over when I noticed. What’s concerning is that you DID mention it to yours and he didn’t change his behavior and continues to act this way. It speaks to larger issues in the marriage. Definitely have a talk with your daughter though, she doesn’t need to be repeating this behavior.

I am worried that my children think that this behavior is acceptable. I try to tell them otherwise but this has been a part of our lives for a long time. Everyone acts like I am being overly sensitive or demanding. But I have noticed that taller men outside our family will slow their pace when they walk with me. I am grateful when they do so.

I’d disappear and let him think something happened to me.

I said the same thing and my comment was canceled.

I would drive home. Leave him. Make a bold statement to get his attention. If he can’t walk with you, then aren’t interested in walking alone.

He should learn quickly if he arrives at his destination and you never show up.

Your comment wasn’t cancelled. There are two threads on this: one was started (erroneously, most like) in Entertainment. And then the OP more appropriately started the same thread in Relationship Discussion.

My sister is 5'0 and her DH is 6'4, they've never had that issue. Your DH sounds like a jerk and so does your DD.

Does he do anything else that is inconsiderate?

That's shitty and inconsiderate, especially now when you're recovering from surgery. The lack of empathy seems indicative of a broader pattern of behavior. Even if they could just periodically look back and stop to let you catch up, that would at least indicate some level of caring. It's such a dick move to walk that far ahead.

Is your husband inconsiderate in other areas as well or just the walking issue?

Work on your daughter. He no longer cares about being respectful.
