Husbands are notoriously oblivious to a lot of things wives care about. The only time that works really well is in the category of weight management. My first DH took up cooking (I was the breadwinner--he was the bread-maker) and I ended up close to 200 lbs. Happily, he also cooperated with my weight LOSS efforts. Present DH didn't even notice the 30lbs I put on from the time we met to the time we married. Granted I do pack it on in places that are always bulgy (thighs and butt), but still! It's clearly up to me alone to decide what size, weight, and shape will make ME happy. DH is simply happy with ME.

Marriage is a dance, isn't it?
