Ok, this is kind of minor I guess, but it's been bugging me off and on for years. My husband doesn't walk next to me when we're out. He used to do this way back when we were dating, and finally after I begged and begged, and just didn't let go of his hand, it stopped.
Now we have 2 kids, the younger of whom is 4. She's a slow walker, I'll grant that. But, she's 4. She has tiny little legs. And he WILL NOT WALK WITH US. Every time we go somewhere, he walks 10-15 feet ahead of us. I ask him to please stay close. He does for a minute, then he's ahead again. It seems minor, but to me, walking together is just what you do when you're with your family. Also, I don't like the message it sends our kids, which I see as a message of not being together as one unit.
My past posts have also been about his seemingly total inability to do even minor things for me, so I can't help but put this in that category, making it seem like an even bigger issue (you know how that is... all of a sudden it's not just about walking, but about every time he hasn't made an effort for me). I'm trying to not do that though--not make minor things into big things.
Do I just need to let this go? Do some people just like to walk by themselves and it's not a big deal?
