I had been meaning to run this by here, but I thought it might be a little silly.

My W is about 1/2 inch taller than I. When we first met and married etc. she always wore flats, never heels (for me). She "naturally" knew it would bother me for her to tower over or look down upon me.

For the past year or so (I can't remember exactly when it began) she's always in heels at least 2" to 3" and always in boots.

That is how I can tell that she's lost all respect for me.

There was a time earlier in the sitch when I was desperate to win her back, but as I detach further and further and heal from my wounds, the picture becomes clearer and clearer. I'm afraid the window of opportunity wherein I would accept her back is closing.

I know I can forgive her because of the diminished anger and/or resentment and genuine desire for her to also heal, but I have to wonder if in my soul I could ever be ready to take her back. That tells me that I HAVE TO move forward; there's no other choice.

Is fashion really an indication of disrespect or am I blowing that out of proportion?
