My husband weighs himself regularly. I don’t, but we are both fit and lean... I am 5’3” and weigh between 118 and 123 and DH is 6’2” and weighs between 170 and 175.
How is this weird? For what is worth I think my husband loves that I still look good, but misses my “huge” butt and boobs from when I was pregnant ?

This. That's totally nuts. I'm 5'8" and when I get down to 120...which hasn't happened in some time, mind you...I start to look ill.

it's normal if the wife is fit. Fit people have no problem broadcasting their weight. The only people who have a problem with people knowing their weight are one who are ashamed of it.

My wife monitors her weight and mentions it periodically.

I don't think it's weird in that context. She sounds like someone who is particularly focused on her body and its performance and probably brings it up a lot. Also, I'm pretty sure my husband knows what I weigh, but he knows better than to bring it up in front of people.

DH knows my height, definitely my ring size, and my average dress size. We don't have a scale so I don't know how much I weigh - just how my clothes fit.

When they are really into training it's not a surprise because it is what they measure daily. People like that are a bit too intense for me but I can understand it.

Wives who are on the light side of the scale tell their husbands how much they weigh.

That is not a conversation that we have in my house, lol.

Shoe size is impressive ... weight is controlling.

I absolutely know my wife's height and weight and she knows mine too. Are you telling me there are people that don't monitor their weight? No wonder 80% of adults are overweight now

If she’s 280, she’s a lady!

If they race together they may talk about it in terms of training. If he was making her weigh in the morning that would be nuts.

I think all spouses know each other's heights, though.

If they race together then I wouldn’t find it strange because it is part of race preparation - especially if they are serious about it. Normally I’d think it’s wearied but in the context you mention, no.

Is this a thing? There's a couple we met recently who seemed very nice but then the conversation got on a weird tangent about preparing for a 10K road race out West. The husband was telling us about his wife's training regimen and told us that "she's 5'7" and a buck-oh-five" which seemed strange and pretty controlling. Is this typical for spouses to be aware of actual numbers on the scale if there aren't medical issues?
