My fiance doesn't have many friends in the area where we live. Once a year he gets together with his college buddies but I wouldn't mind him hanging out with some friends a little more... :)
So does mine. I dont even hang out with my friends that much..so I think its kind of a a lot too!
I voted 1/month because that was the lowest option haha. He doesn't really hang out with his friends a whole lot at all! They have a traveling poker game that is sometimes every other week but more often every other month... and the random paintball day or game at a bar... but i'd say like 8 times/year is probably about right.
Once or twice a week. We hang out with them on weekends mostly since Kingy's work schedule is so hectic. Pretty soon it will be zero times a week and I'll feel bad for stealing him and taking him back to my country.
my husband has no good friends because he's a workaholic and then spends any other free time with me. i'm not sure how i feel about this lol
he has this one guy friend who is basically like my buddy too (this guy was a witness at our courthouse wedding) and my husband only really hangs with him when i go out of town to see my mom or dad. he just goes to his place and they play video games.
other than that, the only people my husband hangs with are my friends who are like 'our friends' and it's when i plan something for us. he's kind of antisocial and just likes to make money and be by himself or with me.
They have a once a week standing "date" where they hang out and have dinner. They are more like brothers than friends though. He has known the "newest" friend in the group for over 20 years.
FH's friends are over EVERY DAY. He gets off work at three and likes to work out, play hockey, play videos games, etc, so they come over everyday. I am a student and I work, so I'm pretty busy. But when I want them to leave, I just tell him and then they leave. They leave pretty early on their own anyway-- they don't stay all evening like they used to. Also, it's not the same people every day. Some come over more often than others, but he has A LOT of friends.
Like @Corgitales, I voted once a month since there wasn't a lower option. FI only has 2 friends and they both have kids so he doesn't get to hang out with them very often. One of his best friends happens to be married to one of my best friends (we set them up) so we do see them on occasion but they have a 4 month old who pretty much drains them.
Where is the option for "never"? Seriously. Between school, work, more school, and more work, wedding planning, and his strange desire to actually spend time with the woman he plan on merrying he doesn't have any time! Poor guy... alos all his friend have either remained in AZ, moved to another state or across the state (and in TX that might as well be another state) or have dropped off the face of the earth. I feel sor him! He needs some guy time to just chill!!!
Usually about once a week. During the week we usually have one night where we go to a friends house or have friends over. Its not necessarily the same night for us. Then on the weekends DH and I might go out with his friends together or he will hang out with his friends alone.
I also chose once a month because it was the lowest option. My SO doesn't drink and most of his friend do so they rarely hang out unless its at the race track during the summer (which I consider more work than hanging out). Or, if he does hang out with them, its usually with me because I will have a beer with them.
J rarely hangs out with his buddies anymore. They're all on different levels these days. But I voted for once a month. I'm sure he wishes it was more, but I also don't find some of them to be the greatest influences. Is it wrong of me to be glad? Hah.
We have the same friends. Seriously.
We hang out with them on the weekends and occasionally during the week.
My fiancé and I have the same friends (mostly). We hang out with the once or twice a week. His best friend lives a couple hours away and he sees him once a month or so.
fi goes to the gym 5 days a week (and is there 3 hours each of those days), so he has a lot of friends there that he works out with. not sure if that counts though! as far as them going out & doing stuff, he kind of binges, one week he might go out 3 times and then he may not go out with them for the next 3 weeks. on average 2-3 times a month he has a guys' night. i think it's good for him to have man time=)
He doesn't really hang out with them that often. He has a few friends in his program at school, but a lot of them he finds annoying because they keep dropping classes and failing things, etc. In the summer he hangs out with his friends more because we go back home and he has the opportunity to meet with his highschool friends.
I would like it to be more but he doesn't really have too many friends in the area. I mean he works all the time, and wants to spend time with me. Which is fine. But there are somethings I just can't give him in regards to male bonding, etc. I try to get him at least out of the house without me about once a month. Whether it be a work activity or hanging out with a couple of my guy friends he gets along with.
I knew his friends before I knew him so they are mutual friends. We usually all hang out together but every so often, he will have a guys night and go to a bar or go to someone's house and watch a fight or something.
SO has basketball nights 2x/wk. He used to have a weekly poker nights and volleyball days too but some people bailed so now its every few weeks. We hang out together with his friends every 1-2wks.
My fiance hangs out with his friends practically everyday beacuse he goes to the gym after work with them. And than we hang out with friends on weekends together. We love being social.
hardly ever, and when he does, I'm usually there too, since we have mostly all mutual friends.
FH doesn't really have friends in the area so he sees any of his friends maybe once a month. The closest we get to hanging out (I see most of my friends a couple times a weeks since we have classes together/are in the same department) to hanging out with friends is homegroup once a week with couples from our church. It looks like they're going to start up a semi-weekly Settlers game night while I'm gone for part of the summer which will be good for him- he gets depressed if he's by himself.
I encourage friend time. It gets him out of the house, and when he comes home we do our quality time. It's nice for us to experience a break from "24/7"
FI sees his maybe once a month if even that, but even then its just been recently since its warm enough for him to go fishing.. Since we stopped drinking & all of his friends still party hard he hasn't had much in common with them lately.
I voted 2-3 times a week, but it's more like 1-2 days a week on average. He has a best friend who's married and they have a baby, so he doesn't get to see him as much as he'd like to.. but when they get together I usually go with him because I'm friends with the wife.
He has another friend who he's been friends with forever.. I would say he sees him the most, because the guy is single and is always asking my fiance to hang out. But I can't stand the guy (long story), so whenever he's around at our place, I make other plans ;)
He rarely hangs out with his friends. Maybe once a month, if that. More often we'll all hang out together.
My FI has been playing poker with the boys one night a week for over a decade. I've found that I really look forward to the opportunity for alone time to watch SYTTD reruns or to go shopping with the girls...it works out well for both of us :)
My FI hangs out with friends about 2-3 times a week. He usually does something either Fri or Sat night - our groups of friends often merge together so we go out together about once a fortnight and then he sometimes meets up with friends mid week for a movie, lunch etc.
He is very sociable and outgoing whereas I am quieter, I like going out occasionally but am also just as happy at home with a book or a movie :)
When he was working shift work, for the winter, he would see them while I was at work, with the occasional poker game once a month (if that.)
He just switched to days, and will probably see them to go golfing or mountain biking, with the occasional poker game. He's finding it harder since they're all bachelors, and he's in a different place now since he is an unofficial stepfather to my son too.
I voted for 1x a week, but it varies widely. Some weeks he hangs out with friends 2-4x, some weeks it's not at all. He's a very social guy, and I am friends with most of his friends, so usually we go together. There are certain friends, though, that he hangs out with separately, which is fine with me. They usually do white water kayaking, rock climbing, or something else extreme. On those occassions, I go out shopping with the girls. ;-)
Usually twice a week, maybe three times max. We have known each other since we were little so share a lot of the same friends as well -so we can spend time with each other and our mutual friends. I'd say it's twice a week he's off on his own with the guys though minus my company!
i'm a social person, i would hang out with friends every day if i could! dh sadly is a non social person
Once a week or less..
It used to be 3-4 times a week when he was playing on football and softball teams with them.. and then they would have practice, go out to dinner after, or hang out and have a beer.. and then sometimes they would go out on the weekends on top of all of it.
We have kids together, so it really got to be a problem, and I didn't say anything for a really really long time. When I finally did, I pretty much just laid down the law. Lol. I had been thinking about it for so long!
I told him.. for every hour you go out with your friends to play sports or whatever, I'm leaving them with you for an hour to have my own alone time. Once we started keeping track, he slowly started cutting back.
And we really really do keep track! I owe him 6 hours right now! :)
