I don't think it's weird knowing. I also don't think it's a reflection of the quality of the relationship. To me it's a weird topic of conversation unless you all are training together.

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 ?

I couldn’t agree with your hubby. I love me some big pregnant boobs and a nice phat butt!

DH and I know our heights just from boring conversations. We are both trying to lose weight (I'm down 30 pounds and DH is down 20). We both have about 20 pounds to go. We know our weights because of that. He had no idea what my weight was until I told him

I don’t think it is strange at all to know your spouse’s height and weight (generally- not to the pound!)

I think it is very strange to discuss it with others...I wouldn’t want DH discussing my weight with others (and I am a normal, average weight). That would be just weird.

That is below the healthy range.

Some weirdo I went to high school with posted on Facebook about how his wife had only gained 20 lbs during pregnancy and lost it all within a month. Unfriended him.

Definitely a bragging bro.
Love to be dating or married to a woman who is much smaller than them.

I don't think its weird that they know. It's odd that they share it with others. Sounds like insecurity to me. Regardless, who cares

My wife is 40 pounds overweight. She never uses our digital scale (that’s actually hard to avoid, sitting right there in the master bathroom). Nonetheless, Yes I do know her weight: way too heavy.

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.


I'm 5'1" and when I'm at 110 I look sick!!!

Height and Weight are kind of a strange but integral part of life. I know DH's and he knows mine. It's just from knowing each other a long time.

Exactly.



I monitor my own weight and my husband does the same. If we need to lose a few pounds, we mention it - "I'm laying off the carbs for awhile. Weight has been creeping up."

We don't go around announcing our weight to each other. There is simply no need. And the couples that do talk freely about their respective weights do seem to weigh in on the light side. It's the same thing with cholesterol numbers, blood pressure, number of pull ups someone can do. Those that can do 17 pull ups tend to find a way to work that into a conversation. Those that have never been able to do a pull up in their entire life tend not to mention that.

It's basically self promotion. You weigh the exact same thing that you did in HS? Well, that is wonderful. I - Do NOT.



You're projecting your own insecurities onto other people's marriages. I know my wife's favorite clothing stores, her favorite foods, her dreams, her fears, and her weight. It's one of like 10,000 things I know about her. Duh.


eh, if you are in a confident, secure relationship you recognize that your spouse has a right to a certain level of privacy. You know when your spouse is gaining weight or losing weight, that's good enough for me.

"My wife weighs 105" = humble brag

"My wife weighs 205" = complaint
