Mixed Weight Couples

She met her future husband in college, in what she calls "a skinny period."

By the Schows' fifth wedding anniversary, Ms. Schow weighed 220 pounds.

For several years, she and her husband slept in separate rooms because she felt anxious and uncomfortable in her body, and had trouble sleeping.

There were arguments. More than once, Mr. Schow asked his wife to change her outfit, saying, "That's not made for someone your size, Sweetheart."

And there was the unforgettable occasion when Ms. Schow, "trying to spice things up in the bedroom," did a playful little dance, naked, she recalls. Her husband told her, "I guess you are one of those people who looks better with clothes on." (He apologized immediately but she still didn't speak to him for a week.)

Today, Mr. Schow says he has "no idea" why he blurted out such a thing. "I haven't lived it down yet," he says. He never found his wife unattractive, Mr. Schow says, but after she lost 75 pounds, and kept the weight off, he did feel more attracted to her.

"My wife is a size 4; she runs, she works out and it became a problem in our marriage," Roker said in a first-person piece on Today.com. "On a Saturday she’d get up, get dressed to run and I’d be sitting on the couch or making breakfast for the kids and was quite happy about our choices. She, on the other hand, was not.

75lbs is a lot and is not easily excused, in my opinion. So I can understand if his attraction to her waned while she was lugging all that around...

It's one thing if a mixed weight couple (I'm digging that term, btw) met as such. But it's a whole nedda ting if they are similarly weighed and then someone gets too comfortable....
