Being in a relationship when you’re about 5’2" and he reaches 6’2” always turns out to be different than your friends’ relationships with normal height differences. It has its ups and downs, (pun intended).

1. Short jokes.

This one is inevitable and pretty much daily.

2. Standing on your tip toes for kisses.

Sure, it looks cute to everyone else. But to you it’s so regular, it’s pretty much a calf workout.

3. Standing on your tip toes for everything with him.

“Hey, babe, look out there, can you see it?” Um no, lift me up please.

4. Even your cutest picture is bound to look a little awkward.

5. Trying to show off your cute outfit in a picture together? You can forget that thanks to that annoying cropping feature.

It’s literally your head or his.

6. He’s been known to run into you when he turns around and tries to walk.

“Oh! Didn’t see you there.”

7. He has to bend over for forehead kisses.

8.He has to bend over for regular kisses.

9. He has to squat to hug you.

If not, there are consequences.

10. He puts you on his shoulders when you can’t see.

This one is kinda handy. It’s alright being the tallest one at a concert for once.

11. Sometimes your head ends up an arm rest for him.

Ouch, elbows don't go there.

12. His old t-shirts are dresses on you.

They make for the best sleep shirts.

13. You trip in his sweatpants.

Also nice to sleep in when it's cold.

14. He’s constantly getting things down for you.

“Babe, could you reach this for me please?”

15. You force him to go grocery shopping for your personal assistance of top shelf items.

Because, let’s face it, if you didn’t have him, you’d have to ask a worker to follow you around the entire store.

16. No matter how high the heel, you will still never be as tall as him.

One less thing to think about before splurging on those new Steve Maddens.

17. Cuddling sometimes is a little awkward - especially under a shared blanket.

His feet are out or your head is under.

18. The only time you’ll ever literally see “eye to eye”:

19. No matter how hard you try, you’ll never be able to keep up with him when walking together.

Either he has to consciously slow down or you have to do a steady jog. Pretty much for every step he takes you have to take two.

20. In the end, it’s so much faster for him to pick you up and carry you.

21. You really never have to worry when you’re together because you always feel protected.

He's usually bigger than most people you're around.

22. You might as well give up on ever being menacing to him.

23. You can always tell when he drove your car last.

*Waits for seat to move from the furthest back to the closest up*

24. The cute head tilt onto his (or his onto your) shoulder isn’t really a thing for you two.

25. It never really works for him to put his arm around your shoulder, either.

Yeah, even sitting down it’s uncomfortable.

26. He doesn’t always have to squat; sometimes it’s easier to be picked up for kisses.

27. Sometimes selfies don’t even work.

28. Forever dealing with the awkwardness of being so much shorter that he can’t always hear what you’re saying.

"Oh, sorry, what did you say?"

29. "Wow, he's so much taller than you." "He makes you look so short." "Your boyfriend is really tall."

Yeah, I know.

At the end of the day, that height difference doesn’t really seem to matter, (except, of course, when you’re being choked by the blanket as you try to sleep) because you love him. And no matter how awkward your pictures look, you secretly love being so much shorter/breaking your neck for kisses.
