my hubby paying me to lose weight

so if he is paying you to lose weight......and you happen to lose weight through sex.....does that mean he is paying for sex?

Take a chill pill, folks! I am a stay at home mother and don't contribute financially to our marriage, but we still consider the money my hubby makes ours. We make all financial decisions together and decide how to spend what he brings in. If my husband wanted to give me x amount of cash for the amount of weight I'd lost that I could spend any way I wanted, I'd say "Thanks, baby!", and I'd go buy some new, smaller clothes. I don't normally spend much on myself, so it would be great. Maybe that's the situation with the OP. Nobody asked her before they started talking about how creepy they thought it was. Good luck with your weight loss, OP!

Really? First of all, when you're married it should be joint funds. Second, you will need at least that just to buy a new wardrobe.0

You totally contribute! Your time is worth money. How much would you have to pay for child care? Or a cleaning person?
And would taking a job (after taxes) cover those expenses? How much family time would you have and how much is that worth?
My boyfriend offered to open a bank account for me and put money into my "weight loss fund" but I said no thanks. It isn't a good incentive for me. I have found that if I am not doing it JUST for me, I feel guilty about stuff. And then I don't want to do anything!0 -

Totally agree with this. Our money is both of ours but for some reason I always buy for the kids and find it easier to justify but get really stingy with myself. He may be trying to give her some incentive so she would feel better about spending the money if it is normally not in their budget. It sounds like she was on this journey before he offered, not that he just brought up one day he would pay her to finally lose weight.
That being said, I have already warned my husband that when I reach my goal, money will be being spent.0 -

1) The idea that you don't contribute financially is crazy.
2) The idea that the money he makes is "ours" but that he has the power to hand you some of it as cash as payment for services is nuts.
"Crazy" and "nuts" interesting. So she's crazy?
I think the fact that you are so offended by this when you know what she meant by "financially" (she definitely contributes), and cannot understand that you are taking this way too seriously, speaks volumes.0 -
I must have missed something. Lol! Oh well!0

I never said anyone was crazy, I am not offended by anything, and you don't get to determine what I'm taking too seriously. Nice try though.0 -

I just quoted your words.* You seem awfully happy to judge other people's little arrangements in their marriages and rage about it for hours. But sure, you tell yourself whatever you need to tell yourself when you're judging others.
* Which you deleted with an edit. That's a nice touch.0 -

Pretty sure I'm reading "crazy" and "nuts" in the quoted part.
Very judgmental. Also a little misguided to think that a parent who stays at home with children isn't contributing. Plenty of stay at home moms and dads on this website who I'm sure just love to read that they're not contributing.
Not all contributions are financial. It's petty to think they are.0 -

My hubby gave me a great incentive to lose weight. He said he would pay me for every pound i lost. 1-10 pounds $10 a pound. 11-20 pounds $15 a pound..21-30 pounds $20 a pound. Anything over 30 pounds $25 a pound. I need to lose 42 pounds. Gained the majority of the weight when i quit smoking. I can do this !!!'
Congrats on getting rid of the smoking habit - that alone is awesome!! Hope you earn lots of $$ in your journey to lose 42!! Good luck and keep us posted!!0 -

Yeah, my 7 or 8 posts in that one thread where he asked for opinions on the subject, combined with my grand total of zero other posts on that person's wall, was just an insane amount of unwanted unnecessary drama. It's a wonder you guys could even handle it.0 -
Am I really the only one who finds this creepy?
NOPE. It seems way in the creepy zone for me. And let's be honest here... look at my picture... if it creeps me out it has to be really creepy.0 -
Am I really the only one who finds this creepy?
Nope, I agree what a terrible way for your husband to show support. He is going to bribe you with family funds - which you are entitled to anyway to become healthy? What a creep.0 -

I deleted you, not the other way around. Don't try to pretend that you didn't solicit opinions on the subject on a wall post. That you disagreed with me, and then mocked my opinion, doesn't change what happened.0 -
My MIL told me if I would lose the weight I had needed to lose, at the time my goal was 130 and currently at 120, but anyways, she said if I did it, she would give me $300.00 for new clothes. LOL I lost the weight, not for the money but I lost the weight and still haven't seen a penny. She had the nerve to tell me that she said it because she didn't believe I'd actually lose the weight so she thought she would never have to actually depart with that much money. Needless to say, I have never seen that money she promised me lol, good thing I didn't really expect to have that money and didn't do it for that money, honestly didn't really think about it till this thread title lol. I'm happy and healthy and that's worth more to me then the money.0

I didn't solicit opinions on my wall post. I asked for clarifications when they were so readily slapped all over my wall. I called you "judgmental." If that is mocking you (and good lord am I ready to at this point), then so be it.0 -
