My hubby never commented on my weight. I am by no means perfect and have my weeks or months of unsightly weight gains, but he has, until today (he may get inspired by your mean thread 
) never pointed that out. I have pretty much realized it myself and worked on it. But I do know men who tell their wives and at the end of the day it depends on their relationship. My sister for instance is very conscious of her weight as her husband picks on her but she can handle it and gets going! Some women are very sensitive and maybe get hurt. It all depends on your tolerance and your husband’s style of passing the message.
