    Mr. Bee and I never eat together during the week because we work late hours, and I don't cook anymore.  We'll usually grab brunch on Saturday, so we typically eat together once a week. 

    How often do you and your SO eat together during a typical week?

    We eat together about 6 days a week. One day he doesn't have enough time to sit down for a meal so on that night we just graze separately. Of course our eating together consists of sitting on the couch watching tv with plates in our laps....we have no table.... but I am glad to spend the time together.

    About five or six times a week we have dinner together and on the weekends we'll usually have two meals together per day.

    Maybe three times a week? We are not quite married (21 days!!), but I have late shifts and he has early ones for work....

    Every day...twice a day...(we eat lunch at work).  We have similar work schedules, so it works out well for us.

    We usually eat lunch and dinner together every day. It's been nice for us to cook together and spend that time together, but eating man-meals has not been friendly to my waistline! Not quite like JennyBryde, we don't work together, we both telecommute and meet for lunch.

    We have similar work schedules and we probably eat dinner together 4-5 days a week most of the time?  And we take turns making breakfast on the weekend.

    We ALWAYS eat together. If I have to work late he will wait for me, truly, no matter how late even though I insist that he eats.

    It's just one of the things we do, we eat dinner together. And we both love to cook so that's a plus. Usually on the weekends we will make a nice meal together that we don't have time to do so during the week.

    We usually eat dinner together pretty much everyday of the week. If we don't eat together at least once a day, I get sad.

    It depends on the month!  FI is a phsyician and his schedule changes monthly.  Some months he is home at 6, some 8, some 12 and some in the middle of the night!  So, we eat dinner together whenever he is home at a reasonable hour.  This month we will eat together every night : )

    Same goes for weekends - on the days he is home at a reasonable hour (or home at all) we eat together.

    We eat together at least once every day. I get up with him in the morning and chat with him while he has his breafkast and coffee and then I go back to bed for an hour before I have to get up and get ready for work. We have dinner together practically every night and on the weekends we have breakfast together too, sometimes lunch- but I'm usually out and about by then.

    We eat together twice a day on week days (breakfast and dinner) and three times a day on the weekend, usually. FI has an interesting schedule since he's in college and working nearly full-time hours, so there are some nights when he doesn't get home until 9:30. He has a gap between shifts, however, so we sneak in a quick supper earlier in the night. The nights when he gets home at 8 p.m., however, are a little hard for me - it's difficult for me to resist eating supper earlier in the night.

    We eat dinner together about 5 or 6 times a week.  The other 1 or 2 night one of us it out with friends.

    We make sure there's no TV, no radio, no distractions.  It's really nice to be able to catch up and hear about his day.

    That's an interesting question to answer. My FI spends about 4 nights a week at my parents' house with me (the night before and after his days off) and spends the other 3 nights at his parents' beach house near his job. On the days before the day off, he gets food on the way to my house (since it's an hour and a half drive and he gets here at about 8pm) and the other nights we try to eat together. We also share a day off so we try to spend that day together too. I feel like I'm rambling, what was the question? Oh right! We eat together probably 3-5 meals a week.

    I cook Sunday Dinner every week and we usually go out to dinner or order in on Friday nights.  During the rest of the week, I usually call him around 5 and say "are we dining together or fending for ourselves".  Most times one of us will have to work late.  If he is home though, I will cook.  I love cookin for my man!!!

    We eat dinner together pretty much every evening and then breakfast & lunch on the weekends. Being unemployed, I'm getting to practice my cooking skills. Before, he did most of the cooking because I worked retail and worked almost an hour away so he was home before me and we only ate together about 4 nights a week. It's working out pretty well. Hopefully, when I do find a job, it'll be closer to home so we can continue to cook together and not wait until 8 or 9 pm to eat!

    We eat together every evening after work (we carpool so it's convenient).  Almost every afternoon we'll email each other to get a game plan together for dinner.  On the weekends, we eat brunch and dinner together, too.  I guess eating is a big part of our relationship!  How often do you eat together? :  wedding Icon Wink

    We have dinner together every night during the week, unless one of us makes plans for dinner.  Same thing for dinner on the weekend, and we have breakfast together every Sunday.  Things mught change soon though, since he's thinking about taking a second job during the evenings...

    We eat every meal together every day of the week.  Of course, we work in the same office with the same hours, so it's quite a bit easier.  :)

    We don't live together, but we still manage to usually eat dinner together 5-6 times a week.  Lunch is different. I'd say we only do lunch together 1 or 2 times a week. :)

    I would estimate that we eat dinner together 5 times per week. He works tons (like 80 hrs per week) so sometimes I can't wait for him to come home before chowing down. I probably cook 75% of the dinners, but I also only work 40 hrs a week.

    We don't live together, but we eat all of our meals together on the weekend, and often one night during the week.

    We eat together almost every day.  We have dinner together probably six days a week adn we usually eat breakfast together four or five days a week.  Weekend lunches too.  I cannot imagine having only one meal with husband each week!

    We try to have a late night dinner every weekday, since i get off work so late and he gets off work about three hours before me but sometimes he's so hungry he just can't wait. But on the weekends we really try to have breakfast together both days and dinner out at least on one weekend night!  I wish we had similar schedules so that we can be more traditional on regular boring weeknights.

    We eat together almost everyday- even when he works late, I wait to eat with him.  Then on the weekends we have breakfast together, and usually lunch, and then definitely dinner.

    We eat together on the weekends and maybe 1 night out of the week because I'm usually at school until late.  However after next week when I finish classes we will be able to cook and eat together!
