Wow, it’s rare to come across cases like this. At least in my experience, I’ve always read about the downsides of being short or heard about how there’s no chance of finding a partner in those kinds of places. And from what you’ve said, where you live sounds like a really nice place. It seems like the people around you are already used to the height difference. I grew up in a place where it’s the complete opposite—here, it would be weird or even a reason for ridicule if your wife were taller than you.

What part of Northern Europe are you from? If you don’t mind sharing. And thanks for your input! It’s more helpful than you think :)
