    How many times a week do you and your SO eat dinner together?  I'd say, on the average week, we eat every meal together--either out or at home.  On nights where one of us is working late or I have class, unless it's really late, we usually wait and eat together.

    If you do eat most of your meals together?  Who does the cooking?  I NEVER cook--I make dinner once a year--on my husband's birthday!  He's making dinner right now as we speak. Do you eat dinner together? :  wedding Icon Wink

    Oh, Lucky girl!!! Mr. Taffy used to cook equally, but ever since I lost my job I do all of the cooking. I don't mind the cooking part, I just have a hard time thinking of things to make!

    We eat together every night, unless he has to work late. Tonight is one of those nights, so I might have chocolate chip waffles for dinner! Muah ha ha...

    We wake up, I drink my coffee and he has his green tea, and than he leaves and I make myself breakfast. We have lunch together out, most of the time, but not if he's busy with meetings. We eat dinner together every night.

    I haven't learned to cook yet, so right now I'm waiting on delivery! Most of our food is from restaurants or eating dinner with our parents.

    He does the cooking just about every night. And every morning. And he packs my lunch. :) But I'm trying to cook more when I have time! We always eat together though...and hope to always keep that up.

    We don't like all of the same foods, but I try to make fiance-friendly dinners a few times a week so we can both eat together...

    Now, we eat together 2 or 3 nights a month, since we live in separate states.  But when we both lived together, I cooked dinner 7 nights a week (my husband does NOT cook, but he does clean the kitchen afterwards).  Seeing as how I work over 80 hours per week, it was exhausting cooking every night... but it was less expensive, so I guess it was worth it.   One of the good things about a long-distance marriage is that now I no longer have to cook every night -- I can get away with once or twice a week and exist on leftovers!

    We eat together most days, and we cook together most days. I'm not sure how I managed the cooking thing. FI didn't cook at all when we started dating!

    We almost always eat dinner together, unless one person is working really late and the other gets hungry. We might be eating different things, though.

    And Mrs. Taffy, I am with you. I don't mind cooking but coming up with what to make is the worst part.

    We eat together everynight.  It's a routine I really appreciate because it gives us a chance to catch up with each other.  I do the cooking and he cleans up.

    I'd say we eat 5 out of 7 dinners together, but we often have breakfasts together too.

    We eat every meal together and take turns cooking... depending on what we're having and FI is always very involved and wont' leave me alone in the kitchen cause he wants to help but I LOVE IT!! he can help all he wants. And he's great at cleaning up afterwards too!

    we eat together 3 nights a week. My fiance works until 8 pm 4 nights a week (hes so lucky- 3 day weekends!) I do all of the cooking, he says the kitchen and him aren't friends! LOL but he does clean up and do dishes...so it's equal in my book :)

    since we live together and have the same work schedule (8-5), we eat dinner together nightly :) sometimes it's infront of the tv and sometimes it's intimate, but it's always great.

    We eat together pretty much all the time. Since I have a long commute, he makes dinner during the week, and we usually eat out at the weekends, or make something simple like pizza.
