Just disappear.
[Read the article: Somebody tell my husband to slow down!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Do what know1youknow said. My husband used to walk ahead of me, too. I tried the nice way, the "honey, that makes me feel sort of unimportant" and the "could you please slow down a little for me" route. Didn't work.
Finally, I had enough. We went to Target. He took off. I took the first right turn into the fruit roll-up aisle. Took him about 5 minutes, but he finally noticed I wasn't behind him, and came back. "Where were you?" he asked. "Back here, and don't forget it," I answered. And that was that.
Despite the rest of his moronic blather, Dr. Phil has one thing right: you teach people how to treat you. Teach him that you aren't walking behind anymore, and he'll learn. Good luck.

Forget psychological oleanders...

[Read more letters about this article: Here]...plant a line of real ones in her front yard next time she goes on vacation. Hell, do it while she's drinking her morning coffee in her breakfast nook. And when she comes out and asks what you're doing, tell her you don't want to look at her house anymore, that her intolerance and elitist attitude are bringing down your property value.
You should be outraged. And yes, at some point you should let it go. But if everyone "lets it go" everytime something outrageously offensive happens, everyone had better learn not to complain when the offenses continue. Bravo to you for caring about your neighbors in a world that too often looks the other way.
