When I first started dating Bruce he said he was 5' 6". Then several years ago we measured ourselves and he is just at 5' 4" (actually just under, but he won't admit it) and I am just a smidge over 5' 4". So technically I am taller, but without shoes we are basically the same height.
Luckily I don't wear heels. He doesn't care about me being taller, but I don't like it.

But he considers himself short, well, because he is! LOL
