qod 4/22

Do you go out with your friends without your husband often or never? Does he have guy nights?

Re: qod 4/22

  • I'll say every once in a while. I'm not going to lie. I don't have a ton of friends. My three best girl friends live 2+ hours away from me, and i have a few friends in town where i live. I've never had a lot of friends, i guess i've gone for quality over quantity because the friends i do have would all put the world on hold for each other whenever we need something. 

    Anyways, i do go out without H every once in a while. When season's of the Bachelor/Bachelorette are on one of my girlfriends and i have standing dates to watch it every week. I go to the movies or whatever with the girls sometimes too. 

    H is the same as me, has a handful of good friends. But he does go out every once in a while. Lots of times it's with his dad and brother/BIL or even just over to his mom and dad's to chat and hang out with his dad and have a couple of beers.

  • I'm about the same as @heightdeprived I don't have a lot of friends. Most of us kind of have our own life going on. I have 1 friend in nursing school, 1 lives 5 hours away and the other 2 are busy with weddings or moving. Also 2 of those friends are also family. If we go out it's usually a couples thing or if it's just girls then it's a well planned ahead idea and usually it's a specific reason.

    H's friends both live 5+ hours away. The other guys he hangs out with they don't do night stuff it's mostly fishing. Or once again we do couples nights. We pretty much keep to ourselves and do our own thing. We are planning a trip to go see my best friend soon but that will be a whole weekend trip. And we also make time for our friends when they are in town.
  • Rarely. But that's because we moved out of state, and I have a couple work friends, but they live 30 minutes away.
    DH rarely goes out either. We spend a lot of time with our families, and would much rather hang out with them.
  • On occasion.  My one girlfriend and I have a standing monthly pedicure date and my other girlfriend lives in Pittsburgh right now.  I don't really have a lot of close friends, quality over quantity here also.  

    H goes with his one guy friend to RC car racing every other Saturday.

  • We're in a similar boat to @heightdeprived. We have some local friends, but our good friends are over 2 hours away. I might go out once every other week or so with a different local friend and then try to make weekend trips to visit the good friends every few months. It's more difficult for H to get away and he tends to go out with friends from work.

  • H and I have lived in the same area all our lives and most people do in our neighborhood.  He is on a dart league so about twice a week he is out. I am about once a week, I will do a dinner or something with someone.  I rather do couple things but many of our couples have kids and its hard for them to get together but we are able to do it pretty frequently.

  • I have 3 friends that I regularly have lunch/dinner with or do movie nights with. H has his brothers and a few guy friends that go to races in the summer so we get out separately every so often.

  • Rarely.. We do not have a ton of friends.. We are both so busy and schedules so different...We would rather go out with couples. If we still lived in WI we would probably go out with my best girl friend and her husband. I have a work friend who is married too just a few years younger we would love to go double date but its rare that our schedules match up to go and do so. We are actually moving closer to where she and her H lives so then it maybe a bit easier to hang out.

  • H goes without me to his friend's house if I push him, otherwise we both go. I do go out without him every once in awhile.

  • We go out occasionally without each other but since we've had the baby, it's gotten less frequent. We're just so busy with him and the house and our families and etc. etc. etc.

    Rarely- I meet up with my best friend about once a month for dinner without H. My 2 other good friends are currently hours away and in med school/grad school so I see them maybe twice a year.

    H rarely has a guy's night, but occassionally he or one of his friends will set something up and they'll go to some sports game together- but this only happens about once a year. 

    For the most part, we see our friends together and it's usually at some sort of event- a wedding, birthday, etc.

    Like others have mentioned, we're just all at a point in our lives where we have so much going on. Alot of the free time we do have is usually dedicated to family who we see way more often.
