Living with Intention Building Meaningful Relationships in Life
Image Source: bing.comIntroduction
Marriage is a beautiful union between two people who are deeply in love with each other. However, as much as we want to believe that love conquers all, there are certain factors that can make or break a relationship. In my case, it was my husband’s height that caused our marriage to crumble. I regret marrying a short man.
Height Matters
Image Source: bing.comI know what you’re thinking, “Height doesn’t matter!” But the truth is, it does. Society has ingrained in us that taller men are more attractive, successful, and masculine. As a woman, I can attest to this. I’ve always been attracted to taller men, and when I met my husband, I thought I could look past his height. But as time went on, it became a bigger and bigger issue for me.
Physical Compatibility

For me, being with a shorter man meant that certain positions were uncomfortable or impossible. It may seem like a small thing, but it added up over time and created a rift between us.
Feeling Self-Conscious
Image Source: bing.comBeing with a shorter man also made me feel self-conscious. Whenever we went out in public, I felt like people were staring at us and judging me for being with someone shorter than me. I know this is a ridiculous thought, but it’s how I felt. It made me feel like I wasn’t good enough for a taller man, and it took a toll on my self-esteem.
Feeling Like I Settled
Image Source: bing.comAs time went on, I started to feel like I settled for my husband because I couldn’t find someone taller. I know this isn’t a fair thought to have, but it’s how I felt. I started to resent him for his height, even though it wasn’t his fault. It created a toxic environment in our relationship that eventually led to our divorce.
Conclusion
Looking back, I regret marrying a short man. It’s not because he was a bad person or a bad husband, but because I let something as superficial as height get in the way of our love. I learned a valuable lesson from this experience, and that is to look past physical attributes and focus on the person’s character and values. Love truly does conquer all, but only if we let it.
