My wife is so tall in wedges!!! She just recently bought a pair of wedges that are about 6 inches high. She is already 5’6 barefoot, with these wedges she is 6 feet tall. I am only 5’8 barefoot, maybe 5’9 with shoes. Last night we went out to a birthday party and she was just towering over me. 3 inches definitely does make a difference. I confronted her about it, and it didnt go well. She thinks Im being immature and possibly jealous of her height, (im actually taller than her). In conclusion I hate big heels or wedges. Any ideas on how i can get her to stop wearing them? Btw even her sister who is only 5’3 was just about my height in her super high heels. What is it with women and heels/wedges?
So be brave and get your own wedges.
That would look ridiculous. I have to say she does look really good with those long legs.
Get over it. You are with a tall woman, who loves to wear high heels. Be proud and happy. This pseudo-macho crap has got to go. There is nothing masculine about being so easily discomposed. A confident man does not base his self-esteem upon being the tallest. That’s third grade stuff.
Did I mention “Get over it”?
In current fashionable heels the current first lady is taller than her husband the President. This has given women “permission” to stop worrying about over-topping their husbands.
I’m not sure I’d call it immature, but you sure do seem to have issues here. Who cares if she’s taller than you in wedges? As you say, you know you actually are taller than her in bare feet.
Right now, “towering” heels and such are the fashion. Eventually fashion will go back to lower shoes.

I don’t particularly like heels, but I do like tall women.
“She thinks Im being immature and possibly jealous of her height”
I agree with your wife.
(I have no idea if my son-in-law is taller than my daughter. She is 5’ 10" in flats and in her wedding photos she is an inch or so taller than I am. My son-in-law is wheelchair bound. They make a great couple.)
Oh … y’all mean shoes … good good, I was worried there
Let’s see if I understand…
According to the OP, it is OK for him to be 3" taller than his wife, but not for his wife to be 3" taller than him.
I suggest either getting over it or some gogo boots in transvestite sizes.
I have no idea why on Earth any man cares if a woman is taller than him or not.
To the OP: Forget about it. It’s a complete non-issue.
So what?
In some cultures, the women walk three steps behind the men. If you insist she do that, people will hardly notice the difference in height.
Do you find her hot? Is she going home with you? Then why give a shit about anything else?
thow away all her shoes, buy her nothing but flats.
If you like the shoes - cut her legs off at the ankles.
Thats about as serious as an answer as the OP deserves.
Excellent idea! For added effectiveness, only hang out with one-eyed people, so they won’t be able to use depth perception to see past the illusion that you’re taller.
What is it with infantile men?
Did you forget your yardstick when you proposed?
I don’t know about anyone else but I’d take a dump on the shoes and then blame it on the dog.
