discussion Is it inconsiderate to walk ahead of your partner during a walk?

[naval23]

Usually they can keep up with me, but today we went on a walk and I couldn't be bothered when I saw them behind me (they were still visible).

 

I would wait for them at traffic lights but otherwise continue walking at the pace I do

 

They never brought up anything to me so I don't think it's an issue but I do feel a bit guilty about it looking back.

 

Thoughts?

I absolutely hate having to intentionally walk slow, as I'm a naturally fast walker. But, yeah, I'd feel bad if I just left my partner in the dust. I'd slow myself down as to not seem like I'm trying to avoid him or rush the moment.

I mean, yes, if you're going somewhere together, what's the point of walking faster and then waiting for them?

[Breathe On Moi]

that's literally so rude. rushing, and for what? to run come post on ATRL?

We teach our bottoms to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to bottoms, you can walk fast, but not too fast.

we were just going for a walk for exercise and there's a certain pace where I feel like the intensity is good. they were in my eyesight at all times though

 

they usually are able to keep up with me so I'm not sure if they just paused randomly and I didn't notice and they didn't bother to tell me or something else

hmm. i'll slow down next time this happens (even though I prefer walking at a moderate pace since it burns more calories)

We teach our tops to grow themselves, to make it bigger. We say to tops, you can grow slow, but not too slow.

it's inconsiderate for both of you to walk side by side and occupy the whole path for others.

Someone needs to let us know what's going viral on Twitter

 

[Princess Aurora]

It depends on the context 

[DoubleRainbow!]

Well it's your partner, the way you're putting it sounds rude 

[Alldeezy]

my former boyfriend's used to ALWAYS do that. but they also spat in my face and treated me poorly

 

so happy to stay single 

[Bussea]

nope. keep up, bıtch.

[Orsay]

If you're walking in a crowded area its alright but you better be checking behind you every 10ish seconds to make sure they're staying with you. or else you're a selfish ******* and typical shitty man

[Cain]

??? yes wtf

[Illuminati]

If you're a few steps ahead, leading the way and not side by side it's fine.

But if you're so far ahead you can't hear him that is kinda shitty, not just with your partner but anyone.

[liam13]

you know what? why dont you grab your partner's hand, look them in the eye and tell them dramatically like you're being filmed "i want you by my side", then proceed to walk while holding their hand  straight out of a movie ahh scenario

[EtherealCat]

slow walking is a red flag they are hiding something

[Lagerfeld]

I've never had a partner, but I would assume it's rude to walk ahead of anybody.

[Archetype]

My partner typically walks the same speed as me (fast) unless he's worked out his legs at the gym, which he then proceeds to walk at a tremendously slow pace to which I purposely take small baby steps to mock him.  We normally walk in a diagonal configuration where one of us, usually me, is leading by about 2-4 feet depending on how crowded it is.  We only walk directly side by side if the sidewalks are wide enough and not many people are around.

I had a friend who did this it was funny to me. Most of the time they dont even realize they are doing it.

[Maestro]

A little ahead if fine but sounds like you walk massively in front.

 

That's very weird tbh. You should ask your partner if they wouldn't mind walking faster with you

[Almighty Gaga]

Tell him 'move it fatass'. Issue resolved.

[May]

yes 

 

My partner does this to me

 

its incredibly rude

 

ur walking fast and for what, to stop and wait for me sooner or later??? like congrats ig 

[SapphireSky]

I do this  I always look back though to see if he's keeping up
