Default Sitting stance and body size?

Hubby is about 5'9 and i am 5'8 - we have the same length arms- i am chubbier than he is- weigh about 40 lbs more-

I def think i need pullback risers on my bike, but when he rides it he is comfy, no strain at all, i feel like i am constantly repositioning, sitting up straighter and leaning forward to have the proper bend in my arms- so i held my arm up to his, exactly the same! whats up with that - my extra weight making me want to sit back further? i want to be sitting at the back of the seat so the passenger part will but up against my back -

Seems weird - he thinks the 3.5" pullback will be too much for me but wants me to be comfortable and is gonna put them on, I and am afraid with the risers i just bought he wont be able to ride my bike comfortably...

LOL, I worry about everything...
