should I be bothered by this?

Mine does the same thing... Drives me crazy to. But honestly in my relationship at least there are way bigger problems that me and my man need to solve. Him leaving me in the dust is a minor irritation. I wouldnt.let it get to you, but dont rush either.

I say something everytime this happens. The weird thing is, he isn't like this in other aspects, like you said. He is always telling me I'm beautiful, kisses me everytime he gets home etc. I'm wondering if maybe it is the "natural pace" thing like you are saying. Still, I just don't get why he doesn't get it. The hip thing isn't recent, but I only show that I'm hurting when I am in super serious pain.

I do like the cattle prod, or running him over with a scooter, lol! That would only take one time and I bet he would slow down!

or just make him run faster

it sounds like a pacing issue to me. Like having to remind someone to quit chewing their pencil- he probably doesn't even realize he's doing it until he stops to look back at you

Well, you just said he offered to drop you off to begin with and then you said he offered to go get the truck afterwards to come pick you up. I think he did what he thought he was supposed to do. My husband always says, "I'm not a mind reader." Some guys really need it spelled out. Not that their dumb or anything, they just don't think like we do. You need to sit down when you're both in a great mood and tell him that you like it when he walks alongside his family, that it makes you feel that he's proud of you. When he leaves you in the dust it makes you feel like you're in a third world country. He still might need a reminder. I agree with another post, put your arm through his and let him know you need him.

When he is asleep hit him in the shin the night before a long walk.

I walk reallly fast. My husband doesn't say a word...he just grabs ahold of the back of my shirt and pulls me back. I forget...I do everything 90 miles an hour....he goes about 35.

Ken is like that too but he always has been, and in accepting him I have accepted that PART of him too. I don't let it bother me. He is rather loving otherwise. Is your DH loving otherwise? I am short and Ken is tall. We just cannot keep the same pace. I have often wandered off in stores, just to teach him a lesson!

He WILL find me with a worried look on his face. HAHA!

Unfortunately, this is a common problem with a simple solution - hold hands!

In our marriage, I'm the fast walker (NYer) and he's the slow walker, so he was always saying "Slow down there, Speedy Gonzales!" Finally, we came up with the compromise above. Works brilliantly.

x2 It's the only thing that made my husband walk beside me. I also started just stopping and waiting for him to stop, then made him wait for me to catch up. He came up with the holding hands idea after I did that a few times.

If you told him and he does not listen then I would either have him push me in a wheelchair or not go out with him!

Holding hands sounds much nicer to do.
