DEAR ABBY: My husband recently asked me not to wear high-heeled shoes when we are together -- at church, for example.
This did not come as a total surprise to me because in the past he has persuaded me to wear flats. He is 5 foot 7 and I am 5 foot 5 1/2, so when I wear heels, we are about equal in height.
My question: What is the real issue here? Is he insecure? Or is it an "ego" thing? -- MISSOURI MRS.
DEAR MISSOURI MRS.: As I size it up, it doesn't really matter why your husband prefers that you wear flats when you are with him.
If I were in your shoes, I would accommodate my husband without making an issue of it.
