Default do you tell your SO what you weigh?

okay, so the other day, my boyfriend was asking me (and it's not the first time) how much I weigh. I have NEVER (not even my mom) told anyone how much I weigh.. because I was always ashamed.
But from the other times, last time he asked me was different: he thought I was keeping more from him!
I kindly explained to him that when I get to my desired weight, or to at least a weight I feel comfortable telling him, he will be the first to know, and I'll tell him what I originally was too.. don't get me wrong, I tell my boyfriend when I lose weigh.. and he always jokes and asks oh so how much do you weigh now, or how much have you lost and where did you start.. aka he uses trick questions to get it out of me, but I just cant!

now, not counting married couples (because I'm sure those do tell each other? correct me if i'm wrong!), but to all those in serious relationships with their boyfriends/girlfriends/significant others, do you tell them how much you weigh?

I never told any of my exes my weight. I would possibly make it clear that I lost _lbs, but I would never tell them a number. After all, a woman doesn't tell her age or her weight.

I have never ever told my DH! And I never will - might tell him how much I have lost but never the number! Don't want that thrown back at me when somebody has a bad day!

My SO knows my weight. I know his too, and yeah, we're both sensitive about the number. He loved me at my heaviest and he's hesitant about me losing weight. I know it's just a number to him.

Mine thinks I weight more than I do. He also doesn't seem to notice when I lose weight. :/

My boyfriend knows my weight, and I'm not afraid of him knowing. If he fell in love with me the way I am, it doesn't matter what the actual # is.

I'm married, but I don't think he knows my weight.

Unfortunately, I know his as he just had his DOT physical. We now weigh exactly the same - and he's 7" taller.

He doesn't ask, or ever say anything, but I know he would like to see me down to what I was when we first started dating. Of course, my stomach will never be the same without surgery (thanks kid!), but I'd like to be there too

I told my fiance because I needed his support when I was at my highest weight and giving him the actual numbers seemed like the easiest way to let him know what we were dealing with. Plus, now I get to tell him when I'm down and he celebrates with me

I tell my bf my weight and what I've lost (if I've lost that week) and I tell him what I'd like to be etc. but it's a little easier, because lbs don't mean much to him, he's Italian so he works in kgs, which I guess softens the blow a little. Sometimes I tell him what I weigh in kg and what I'd like to weigh in kg, but not very often.

He knows how I feel about my weight, he's never negative about my body and never pushes me to tell him anything. In fact out of all the people I've dated or been friends with, he's the one who has made me appreciate and love my body more than I ever have done, even when I was slimmer.

I tell my fiance; he's 60lbs lighter than I and 2 inches shorter so when we first started dating I teased him about being so much smaller than I am! I don't care if he knows my weight, I looked fabulous at my heaviest and when I lose weight I'll look even more fabulous and he knows it. It's all a matter of personal preference but, personally, I'd rather he know than conjure up some crazy number in his head.

My fiance knows but he's probably forgotten knowing him. He's never cared and never asked but I've told him because it helps me to talk about these things, especially when I'm on my weightloss journey. I'm not ashamed of my weight - not anymore - so it doesn't really bother me. I can't wait until I reach my goal weight though.

I'm married but I'll answer... I actually keep a small calendar in the bathroom with my weight on it. So my hubby knows my weight.
