How often do you go out socially?
I was just wondering in a typical month how often do you go out 1) With your husband 2) With your girlfriends/family 3)by yourself?
My husband and I are having a disagreement on going out in public whether its to go out to eat meet up with friends, etc. Its just us now, no children.
Love to get your responses!

Re: How often do you go out socially?
Not enough. We have a 3 yo and a 7 month old.
Prekids we went to lunch once a week and dinner and a movie once a monthish. We'd party once a month (drinking late into the night). We'd see family probably once a month.
Now we still go to lunch every week, but we don't party. Movies and just us hasn't happened in ages, but used to be every couple of months. We probably hit dinner once a month. Family is once a month too.
We usually have people in every couple of months.
Everyone is different...so if your Dh isn't wanting to go out (for what reason may I ask?)...maybe you can come to some sort of agreement where you both can be happy?
Dh and I have always had a really active social life. My kids are teenagers, but even when they were small, we went out almost every week. Whether it was just him and I or with other couples.
Right now, Dh and I go out together almost every week as well...and sometimes it's just me and him and sometimes it's other couples. We really enjoy this part of our relationship, seeing our friends, trying new restaurants (or enjoying our favorite haunts) etc
I tend to do lunch/coffee with my female family members or girlfriends but sometimes we'll dinner. I usually have a lunch date every week...with someone. With all our kids getting older, it's harder and hard to get together and it's so fun to go shopping or have a coffee or someone to stop by for a good dose of girl chat!

Thinking of doing cosmetic updates to a dated home? These were our costs.
We just joined meetup.com because we don't know many people in our area, so we're hoping that livens up our social lives a bit!
I don't feel like we go out enough either, but my husband was more of a homebody when we met than I was, so it's just something that I need to get accustomed to. We also don't have any kids.
Ideally, I'd like to go out together once a week, but usually it's once every other week. Last week we friends over for a Halloween party (kinda like going out I guess). This weekend we're going over to a friend's house for a game watching party. I go out with my girls probably about once a month (usually someone is having a bach party or some other reason, I don't try to plan nights out w/out my hubby-we've only been married going on 6 months so I'm not sick of him yet).
I go out by myself maybe once a week, and I usually feel guilty about it. I consider it "going out", but it's going to work out. I like to do Zumba, and the class starts at 6 p.m. so I don't get home until around 7:30 p.m. I try to have something on hand that he can fix himself for dinner. Fitness was important to me before I got married and I let him know that it was something that I still plan to do.
We go out with friends probably once every few weeks.
I go out with girlfriends once every other week for a happy hour or girls night out.

thanks guys for your responses!
i guess we are just on different waves right now. i am so busy at work and he is ready for a transition.
i have joined a few meetup.com groups. its basically because i feel we have found our forever town...so i guess since we dont have family here, i want to make really good friends that turn into family. also before we moved here we moved to a different city where he made friends quickly and i did not. so when he would go out and i did not with him i was lonely. now that its opposite, i feel like he would feel the same and he does not. he wants to stay in. i guess i also feel like we are young with no kids so lets enjoy ourselves before we can not go out as often.
i guess we go out as the typical couple
