That is not a conversation that we have in my house, lol.
I've been on both sides of that scale (light side now) and I still don't tell my DH the number. I think I said it once when I reached goal weight. Otherwise, no. It seems like unnecessary details, I'm not sure how it would come up for us.
But in your example with the race training, totally acceptable. He sounds supportive, not controlling, to me.

Unless she has a proportionately huge rib cage, your wife is wearing the wrong bra size.

Aren't you charming.
In terms of what men and women look for in a partner, it is comparable to a wife noticing that her husband went from earning $150K and now makes $40K. Darned right she will know that her husband has fallen below her most basic dating specs! Sorry if this fact bothers you.
I'm fairly certain the man will notice he went from $150K to $40k, and that would also bother him.
I have gained 30lbs since DH and I started dating -- two kids, 20 years, and hitting 50, but then I was stick thin, size 00 when we first started dating. And he doesn't seem to care.
And I’m fairly certain a wife who gains 40 pounds would notice and it would bother her too. Doesn’t mean she will do the work to lose the weight.
The point is that Yes, men know their wife’s weight. That is because this is an important element of attraction for men.
Just as women know their husband’s income. And would be bothered if that changed (negatively) in big way.

Without knowing her, that seems like it might be getting close to an unhealthy underweight frame.
My daughter rows on the lightweight crew team for her high school.
To row lightweight, you have to jump through all kinds of hoops to prove that this is their natural build (ie; the parents had to fill out a 10 page evaluation and our pediatrician had to fill out a form listing her height, weight and growth percentile every year for the past 10 years and sign off on it.
They truly want only natural lightweights who've had a slim frame for all of their lives on the team and the concern is of course, that girls might turn to eating disorders to get on the team if they're not naturally in the lightweight range.
The healthy range for a lightweight based on my daughter's height (5'7" also) is 115 - 127lbs and again, that is what they consider a VERY thin but natural build and they'd really prefer them to be closer to the 120 - 125 range for that height.
5'7 - 105lbs most likely wouldn't make the team, because there would be a REAL concern about there being an eating disorder.
That seems much too thin to me, but maybe your friends not really obsessive about running and working out... I hope not.
There’s nothing VERY thin about a teenager who is 5’7” weighing around 120 pounds.
Um, what? Yes there is. I was 5’7” and 118 when I graduated high school. I was teased constantly for being so thin, and our pediatrician gave my parents tips on increasing my weight. That is indeed very thin for that height. And 105 is anorexia territory.
That's a completely average height/weight for a teenager. You must live around some really chunky teens to be surprised by this.
LOL, it's obvious that you're obsessive about weight with your non-stop posting in this thread.
Too bad all of that obsession and being scrawny doesn't equal to a social life, because DAMN you have got nothing better to do, Skeletor.

You're an idiot.
Nobody said that 5'7" - 120lbs is unhealthy, we said that 5'7" - 105 is unhealthy.
Try using reading comprehension before making any more of your asinine posts.

I think this is more like having three kids and noticing that your husbands purchasing power has gone down to someone with an income of $40k.
You are the equivalent of the woman who then gets all upset that her husband didn’t get a raise/higher paying job like her Bff’s husband did.

The long distance runners I've seen are thin/skeletal. That just seems to be their competing frame. When they stop running or get injured the seem to revert back to normal skinny.

My DH knows all this, too, because he's my best friend, and I vent, rant, complain to him about stuff like how I can't find my shoe size in stores (5.5 to 6), how I hate having size A cup, and I can't believe I went from a size 0 to a 4 in the almost 20 years we've been together, and of course, he knows my ring size because he went and bought my engagement ring on his own.
He knows my SSN because of all the forms we've had to fill out, blood type because he was with me at my first pregnancy appointment where they talk about bloodtypes, and yes, he was well aware of my cycles (more so than me) because my boobs get very sensitive that time of the month and my libido would go up right before, and he keeps track of when we last had sex more than I do.
Same -- I know DH weight (he's been trying to lose weight, and he tells me how much he' lost and what he weighs every week); his shoe size; shirt size; ssn. I don't know his ring size, though LOL
We have very little secrets from each other.

I know my husbands weight because he talks about it. Hes really into fitness. I never talk about mine. I don’t even know it. I just know that I work out and eat well and fit into all the same clothes I did before.
What’s weird about this dude is that he told other people how much his wife weighs. That is so weird.

You should try actually reading. Nobody said that. The OP said 5’7, 105 pounds which is indeed medically underweight/unhealthy. Just like being overweight, being underweight has negative health consequences - it’s hard on your organs and bones. People said 5’7, 120 is thin, and it is. That’s a fact. Not sure what you’re going on about.
