Does your SO know your weight?

I recently passed my husband going downhill! For a long time we were neck and neck since I was cooking healthier food and he was eating it too - and being a man was naturally losing weight without any special effort, just to make me crazy
but I did pass him eventually and left him in my dust! Seriously though, he has been supportive of me at every weight and told me I was beautiful when I'm pretty sure that objectively I looked awful. And right now his attitude towards my stretch marks and loose skin is, "You should be proud of those, they show how far you've come." So yes, he knows my weight. 2 -

I don't wake up in the morning and tell him my weight, but he knows it as I've mentioned it before. He's pretty into fitness himself; he could probably tell me my body fat percentage and guess my weight within 5lbs.

He knows because after each weigh in I have, I usually tell him (he knows I'm working on weight loss). I haven't told other people though, they just see the results.0
-
I've mentioned it in conversation if the topic arises but I doubt it's information that he has retained. Not a bit deal. I only weigh half a stone less than him which I hate but I don't think he gives two hoots about it all0
-
Mine probably knows but I don't think I've actually ever told him. He's been to a bunch of medical appointments with me lately so I'm sure I've been asked my weight when he was in the room. Now, whether he remembers it or not is another issue. I think baseball stats may have crowded out that info in his brain.1

My boyfriend knows and he's the one putting me on a diet. I'm pretty much fine with my weight and body, but he keeps calling me fat.
... that's very, very disturbing. I am concerned that your relationship is unhealthy. If you're happy with you, he should be too. You shouldn't be dieting at his wishes.9 -

As a guy, I couldn't even imagine treating my wife like this. I will gladly support my wife in improving her health as she chooses but telling her she needs to lose weight or what to eat, never. You need to run for the hills.8 -

I don't know. I'm not hiding it from him and would tell him if he asked but it's not something that comes up.1
-
He does and then harangues me for eating less. Says all I need to do is just move more instead of cutting calories.0

My husband knows. He isn't with me for what the number on the scales says.
I don't even think he remembers what it is lol. This is my thing anyway. 1 -

Yes. We're doing MFP together, and celebrate every new low.
I can imagine, though, that if I weighed more than him, I'd probably want to keep that to myself.0 -
Yep, dh knows what my maintenance range is because I've mentioned it to him.0

Yes, both of my SOs know my weight and I know theirs.0
-
Uhhhh....yeah, he knows my weight...or a general idea I suppose the last time the number came up. We support each other. However, we don't subscribe to the social beliefs that your weight determines your value. We don't stigmatize a number, so it's never been something that we've had to associate shame or pride in.0

I know why most have trouble with this statement, but jumping right to telling them the dump them is a bit extreme. They could be comfortable in their body, but obese and their loved one wants them to be more healthy. We don't know the full story. Also-some people enter controlling relationships willingly, not anyone's place to judge.0 -
Yes he knows and I know his. We are working towards being healthier together.0
-
He knows mine and I know his and none of it really matters to us, just that we're healthy.0
-
Mine does - we're going through this journey together. I've got the best cheerleader in the world and even when the scale goes up, he's very supportive and helps me work that much harder. I know that he loves me no matter what the number, but know the healthier we are the longer we can love on each other.0

My husband can't even remember my age, so, even if I've mentioned it, I doubt he'd remember my weight.

There is a difference between entering into a mutually consenting controlling relationship and having your SO call you fat and put you on a diet.

Again, only part of the story.1
Why do you tolerate this? 
how sad
