    Hmm

    A feminist visits Kabul just after the fall of the Taliban & is not pleased to find that women must walk 5 paces behind the men.


    A year later she returns & is delighted to find that men must now walk 5 paces behind women.


    She asked the interpreter "What brought about the change?" He replied ...."Land mines."

    I see, so it must be the same for all of us married to filipinas? I suppose the height difference is a part of it. 6ft 1" v 4ft 11".....its a constant source of amusement between the 2 of us.

    We go out for a walk for exercise and I have to slow down to walk with her. Kind of defeats the object....

    When we are walking together I just tell him oh go ahead see you in our destination..
    Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before, how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way, and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever...

    I had the same experience with my ex-bf.....He walked really fast and I could hardly catch up. It made me feel so upset that he was so insensitive that I was already in pain.........my feet badly hurt and he didn't seem to care

    I slow down for my wife, but it is difficult to do. Our stride pattern is so vastly different....
