I'm 5'10 and tower over my short king husband - trolls say he looks like my SON but I think he's the perfect man

A 5'10 heel-obsessed woman who towers over her short husband has opened up about the cruel hate they receive from strangers - revealing that her spouse is regularly mistaken for her son because of their dramatic height difference. 

Cassandra Gaspard, 29, and her partner, Westin, 32, who is 5'5, say they are regularly met with confused stares when they step out in the street. 

Some even dare to ask Cassandra why she is with Westin, while making scathing comments to her about her husband's stature.

However, the couple insists that the attention and the taunts haven't gotten in the way of their relationship. 

In fact if anything, it's only served to strengthen it. 

A five foot, 10 inches woman who towers over her short husband, has shared that trolls say he looks like her son, but they couldn't be more in love

Cassandra Gaspard, 29, and her partner, Westin, 32, are constantly stared at due to their height difference

After meeting on Tinder in 2017, the pair quickly fell in love, and went on to tie the knot last month - never once paying mind to the comments that they receive about their different sizes. 

Cassandra says she actually enjoys embracing her height, revealing that she even wore a pair of five-inch heels on their first date, having spent years feeling like the 'odd ball' because she was so much taller than other children her age. 

'I grew up taller than everybody. I was the odd ball out. I accepted in my 20s that I couldn't change. Now I'm mostly in heels,' she explained. 

As for Westin, he says his height has never been a hinderance in his love life, noting that he refuses to give in to trolls who try and bring him down because of it.  

 'In real life, people don't come up to me. They come up to my wife,' he shared. 

'They [say], "How can you be with him? He's so short."'

He added that many people will comment on his height in a mocking way because they are trying 'to be funny'.  

'People stare at us - it happens a lot. Trolls say I look like her handbag or [like] I'm her son. They are trying to be funny,' he went on. 

Cassandra, who works in customer care, said: 'It's a little odd that people look at height difference, and think we don't deserve to be in a relationship.

'It's not the norm - society thinks six feet men need to be with shorter men. You love who you love.'

Cassandra is five inches taller than Westin, who is five feet, five inches, and is asked why she is with her husband by strangers

But the New York-based couple couldn't be happier, after tying the knot last month, and have never seen their height difference as a problem

Westin added: 'My height is what it is. I can't stretch myself. I always carried myself in a confident way.

'When I met my wife, I said, "you're tall, and there is nothing you can do about it. 

"And I'm small, and there is nothing I can do about it."

'We never cared about it. It's a blessing. If something is up on a shelf, and I can't get it, guess who I'm calling? My wife.'

Despite their confidence, the couple did have to adjust to the constant stares and comments.

Cassandra said: 'I remember the very first time someone said something.

'These two or three older men were looking at us. They said, "She's really tall, he's really short - I can't believe it."

Westin says he also gets comments asking if he has 'short man syndrome.'

He said: 'Someone said, "I hope he doesn't have a temper."

'Short men get a bad rep, and they think I have short man syndrome.

'People could be missing out on a life partner because of all these preconceived notions.

'It's silly stuff, like women can't be with a man shorter than her. They want someone to look up to and protect them.   

'I'm a boxer. I can protect my wife. It doesn't have anything to do with my height.'    

Cassandra added: 'There are tall women married to short men. It's not like, "OMG I just found a rare coin."       

Westin said: 'Love is love, no matter what.'
