I hid my girlfriend’s high-heels before my sister’s wedding – she’s taller than me & I didn’t want to look like a gnome
A MAN has revealed that he stole his girlfriend's high heel shoes as he didn't want to look short in photos.
The anonymous man confessed it wasn't right but suggested he had no other choice than to do it.
He took to Reddit anonymously to vent about his girlfriend's reaction, as he thinks she had overreacted to what he did.
His sister had invited his girlfriend of six months to come to the wedding and even asked her to be in the photos.
The man asked his girlfriend what she planned to wear for the day and she showed him the pair of shoes she was going to go in.
According to him, he was your 'typical short male', the 5ft6 bloke said: "I hate myself for it, I'm openly insecure about it and have exhausted all solutions to fix this issue."
He said that the shoes would have made her look double the size of him and asked her not to wear them.
The man added: "I asked if she could consider wearing sandals instead since there were going to be photos and I didn't want to look like a Gnome standing next to her.

"She called me silly and brushed off my concerns which was not appreciated."
When the day of the wedding arrived the man said he hid her high heels so that she could not wear them, in the end wore a pair of flat sandals.
The man shockingly revealed that these were the only pair of high heels she had after he had asked her to move all of them out as he was self-conscious of his height.
For him, the day had gone as planned and when they came home he gave her the shoes back.
The girlfriend was livid at him and he said: "I do think she had every reason to be upset with me.
"But what was I supposed to do after I made my wishes clear and she brushed them off knowing full well how I felt about those high heels."
Unfortunately for him, the vast majority of Redditors thought he was wrong in this situation.
One wrote: "You deal with your insecurities yourself. After being told no, you don't get to force her to do what you want. Your feelings are not more important than hers."
"Exactly!!! Just because you made your wishes clear, doesn’t mean your wishes get granted!! YTA big time, you have no business deciding what she wears." Agreed another user.
A third person said: "If you're insecure about your girlfriend being taller than you, then get a shorter girlfriend. Imagine if instead she felt insecure about being taller than you and hid all of your shoes except for a pair of platforms."
