https://www.reddit.com/r/relationshi...si&sh=1a2e1ed6I'm a very short guy. I'm 5'2. My wife is taller than me, but still short at 5'4. I have found the love of my life and we have been married for 5 years. I just found out that she has been purposefully delaying us having kids because she doesn't want them to be short. She didn't phrase it like that, but instead she told me "she doesn't want them to go through the struggles I did."
My mom is 5'3 and my dad was 5'4. I struggled, being short. I had friends, but romantically was very lonely all throughout highschool and college. I met my wife at age 20, with my first romantic encounter.
We always discussed having kids, and she was never hesitant. I really thought she wanted to have my kids. I'm hurt and I'm embarrassed. I never thought my own wife is embarrassed of me. Now I'm scared my height is more of an issue than has been addressed.
She doesn't want to have my children. She would rather adopt or go to a sperm bank. She basically wants anyone's kid but mine. I've tried to reason with her, reminding her that any of the kids could be short.
I've had severe depression over my height for years. My wife was the one person that helped me through it, and helped me remember I can still be loved. And now I do not feel loved.
Maybe I'm just feeling emotional, but I'm rethinking my marriage.
*tl;dr, my wife does not want my kids because I'm short. *

perfectly justified imo, he as a man should not want to bring a manlet into this world either knowing what it means.
I appreciate well thought out subtle trolling.

i see absolutely nothing wrong with her line of thinking, but she should've been honest about it up front rather than beating around the bush.

That's very insensitive of her. It's not as if it's a genetic disease. It's height for goodness sake. Sure it's an important factor in life but if she really loved him she wouldnt give a fuk.

Her line of thinking IS justified in a way, but at the same time it is still incredibly shallow. She should have been real up front.

My only real hang up with ending up with a short man one day has never been because I couldn't be attracted to one. I think about my offspring quite seriously. I would feel like a chit mom if my son was short because short men get the shaft. And its not right.
She messed up because she went and married him and talked about children. I don't know if I would forgive her if I were him. What the hell kind of request is a sperm bank while your able husband who loves you and wants to give you children is right there.
You go as far as marry him and promise him kids, you take his manlet sperm and hope for the best. If I know I can't procreate with a little man I will not put him through this kind of brutal emotional torture jesus christ..

So at 5'3, should I just get myself sterilised? At least then I'll have an excuse not to pass on my chit genes.
Although, to be honest, being 5'3 is already a form of sterilisation through involuntary celibacy.
