Go out to dinner with my girlfriends during the week without offering to pick him up Lions' Choice.
Only b/c I'm nice, though =]
Same as you, Miss Chapstick! I don't go to the movies if my FI wants to go to the same movie and can't come. We love movies, and love going together. That is probably the only one I can think of though!
We have the same rule! R broke it once (we were 16, Rent had just come out, haha don't know why I remember that) and tried to hide it because he felt guilty. Muahaha, I can tell when he's lying!
I know there's more, but I'm having a stupid moment right now and can't think of any.
We honestly kind of do everything together. I can't really think of things that we do apart. We are just that disgusting. ;)
@rachel: Yeah, we're actually the same way :) The movie thing is one of the very few "rules" we have, but in the end, we pretty much do everything together anyway.
Um... he won't have boys night unless I'm working. That was more relevant before all his friends moved away.
There are certain restaurants I can't eat at without him. I guess I COULD... he wouldn't get mad or anything, but I'd feel so bad, especially since he loves them more than me!
we do pretty much everything together, but one thing for sure mr. sew cannot get a haircut without me. he has stylist phobia...
We tend to do almost everything together too. Every once and a while, he will go play golf with the guys and I will go out with the girls. I think it's important to still hangout and have "guy time" and "girl time" every now and then. We usually always meet up after though 
I will definitely not go to a bar/club without my SO.
There are certain tv shows that we HAVE to watch together. Especially Lost! We have to go grocery shopping together, too, but that's more for practical reasons. Oh, and we're working our way through Super Mario Galaxy on the Wii, and we don't play that alone.
We were doing a puzzle not too long ago, and he got pouty when I put part of it together without him. :) Yeah, we end up doing most stuff together!
We basically do everything together but in cases where I do have a girls night or he is going to a game or something after about three hours its just to weird! I am sure that some people think its to much but stuff is just so much more fun with him around.
I can't really think of anything that we won't do without one another . . . usually if I want to do something and he can't go, I'll do it and vice versa. I love doing stuff with him and he with me, but it doesn't keep us from doing something apart. Maybe travel to a state or location we've discussed going to together . . . .
Besides watching "our" shows 2/g (Lost, Big Love, etc), there really isn't anything that I wouldn't do w/o FI. We do tons of stuff 2/g, but I'm totally fine doing these things w/ friends as well.
We are NOT allowed to watch House or Grey's without the other one present. And also, we have a steadfast rule that unless the other person has plans and is eating dinner out, we wait to have dinner together. We just love cooking together, and my FI really believes in families sitting down to homecooked meals together (totally foreign concept in my family). He's sitting next to me and would like me to add that one of the things we DO NOT do without the other...is have...ahem...you know. Thanks hon....I think that was a given. He would also like to know if he gets points for contributing to one of my WB posts...he's kind of adorable. ;)
haha I guess it's somewhat unspoken, but we always go out to lunch together after church, and always to subway.
so I guess I couldn't really ditch him and go to lunch with someone else after church... it's been our thing ever since we first started dating
Pretty much the same as everyone else - we go to movies that we both want to see together, and we watch certain tv shows together. We also walk to work together every day, unless one of us is sick/traveling. If one of us has to be there 2 hour early, we both still go.
My fiance and I are different than most of you. We enjoy spending time together but there isnt anything that we would hesitate to do without each other. We enjoy going out without each other...me with my girlfriends and him with his guy friends and it is never an issue. We just trust each other THAT much! And it is awesome thast we are able to take trips and do whatever without each other and have it not be an issue. We remind ourselves a lot of Vicki and Don from the real housewives of orange county. They are able to spend a lot of time apart but at the end of the day, come home and be so happy to see each other. I have girlfriends that cant even take a girls weekend trip! I am so lucky that my fiance allows me to go and have fun and live life to the fullest even if he isnt always able to come.
Well, in NYC restaurants to us = movies to you, so FI and I don't go to a restaurant we both had been looking forward to without each other. I go out with GF's once a month and will intentionally not suggest specific restaurants FI and I both wanted to try out. That being said, if GF's really had their hearts set on a restaurant FI and I both wanted to go to together, I would still go with them, but definitely feel a little guilty. I just think it might be taking it too far if I missed out on a fun girls night because they randomly insisted on a specific restaurant. And I guess with restaurants you have a different experience every time as you can order different things while at movies it's the same movie so it's a little different.
Same as Moderndaisy, we don't go to restaurants we've been wanting to try without the other, and movies (though I hate movies, so there isn't much i want to see)
Also, I can't go out of town with him, he ends up feeling too bad about not going. haha.
@laboroflove--you would never go out of town without your fiance because he feels sad about not going?! i couldnt imagine never going out of town again by myself...i love self time!
@moderndaisy FI got so upset with me last year when I mentioned I might take my 6 yr old nephew to Ninja NY while they were in town visiting without him. FI wasn't able to join us for dinner that night and actually suggested I let them all go out to dinner alone, so he and I could go to Ninja together at a later date. I ended up taking them all to Medieval Times instead (and that was probably only OK because FI & I had already gone there years ago - he loves "performance restaurants"!)
@alishadhs4, I do all kinds of stuff without my SO. I tell him tough noogies if he misses out =].
ejs...you and i are on the same page...i do the same. I figure, he is an adult at 25 and can handle it :) Plus i know you and your hubby do the long distance thing dont you? So you are used to be independent. I am just usually independent so its easy for me to be without him.
Hmmm... I think I'm definetly the minority. The only thing that either FI or I would be upset about is if we made a big purchase without the other one. Other than that we do spend time together and do plenty of things together, but there is nothing we can't do without each other. Maybe it's because we did a LDR for a year and he works 4 nights a week.
Yep, we were long distance and it's hard to just switch back to doing everything single thing together when we did every single thing apart for years. Plus most of my friends are single...I think they'd be annoyed if I opted out of things with them! In fact, we have one friend who refuses to go out at night without her husband. Not fun.
We're way more independent than most people I've met but I can't handle it any other way. And i would never be upset if he went to a place I wanted to eat at. I'd just be like "ok you owe me! let's go saturday!" Food is food and food is good! Even if you've eaten there before =]
alishadhs4 and ejs4y8 - I'm with you two on this one. While FI and I do most things together, we still have the freedom to do stuff apart. If a bunch of his boys are going to watch a movie that we both want to see, I'll tell him to go watch it with them and I'll watch it with someone else. Same if my girlfriends want to go eat at FI's favourite restaurant. Of course I'd still go. No need to get pouty about being left out.
@ejs... i have a lot of single friends also...we only have two sets of friends that are married (both of whom are in our bridal party!) but everyone else is single and enjoys a girls night, and i just love how my fiance never gets upset or pouty about me going out, he is so supportive and i love it. And plus, it sucks when i go out with my single friends and FI comes along--if anything its like a third wheel. I have a couple friends that just cannot go out without asking their boyfriends/husbands and it is only a rare occasion that they are allowed out without them, and i just find that so odd. But whatever--i know each couple has their own thing going on but that is just not for us.
DH avoids girls nights like the plague. He uses them as "video game" nights and holes up in his Warcraft cave downstairs or watches stupid Zombie movies I refuse to watch with him. Or goes and watches Wolfman or something in theaters I just have no desire to see. I'm not keen on being ditched for an entire Friday night while he plays shoot-em-up games, but if i'm out for the night, he gets his fix. Plus, if i get away from the house and get out with the girls occassionally, I'm just a nicer person in general. I need my sushi fix with them and he HATES sushi =]. Obviously we have such different tastes in things to do it's really a no brainer for us. But if we shared a lot of the same interests I could see the tables being flipped.
lol sounds like us...he likes zombie action movies and I sooo do not! And he likes to watch dirty jobs and other nonsense shows on TV that i have no interest in. However, we do have some shows that we DVR that we watch almost every night of the week such as the bachelor, real world, real housewives of OC, 16 and pregnant...he enjoys watching those shows with me :)
We don't have any sort of rules about movies, but it's true that I would really hesitate to see something with someone else that I knew he wanted to see! And he's called me when I've been out of town to check and see if I minded whether he go see a particular movie without me.
Other than that, I think that one thing we really do is protect our weekend time. Weekday nights are fair game for either of us to do whatever we want. I'm in medical school and spend most of my weeknights studying so he has more plans then. But neither of us would make individual plans for the weekend without checking with the other first, since this is when we have a little bit more time together.
We do a lot of things together too: see movies, watch Lost, etc. Whenever we break from norm we usually ask the other first to make sure it's ok. I didn't invite him to see Valentine's Day w/ my sister and I, but I think I'd get dumped if I saw Iron Man 2 without him. When it gets really bad, sometimes one of us will have to watch the movie twice. I also bring him home take out if I go out to dinner w/ a gf. :-D
We have the movie rule too! We get jealous when the other goes to a restaurant we really like without the other, but its not a big deal.
i never go to the movies without him. granted we don't go often, but it's just something we've always done together.
this question makes me laugh my ass off, the only two things we have "rules" like that about is um, we don't have sex without the other, hahahaha. other than that, there's not really any rules....

Sorry, there are no users yet.
So the other day I was talking to my sister about her upcoming visit to stay with us for a long weekend. We're planning a low-key girls weekend and the hubs was nice enough to offer to make himself scarce while we watch girly movies in our PJs, eat junk food and stay up talking like we used to (we like to do this once a year because we very rarely get to spend time together lately). One part of our girls weekend includes a shopping trip that's a good hour away from our apartment, and my sister suggested we go see a movie that's opening that weekend to end the day with. Because the hubs isn't going shopping with us, and I'll have the car, he wouldn't be able to meet us there to go see the movie with us. I told my sister that I couldn't see the movie without him, and because she's younger than I am and doesn't understand these things, she thought I was so weird. It wasn't a big deal or anything, she was fine with it and really didn't care, but she was just like, "Oh, umm, okay?"
The hubs and I have a rule that neither of us sees a movie we BOTH want to see without the other, be it on DVD or in the theaters. We both LOVE movies, and oddly enough, we very rarely go to the theater because we're really picky about what we want to see. So, when we go to a movie, it's a big deal, and we just don't do it without each other.
So that got me thinkin'. Is there anything you just don't do without your SO (I mean, besdies the obvious like buying a house or something:) )?
Oh, and props to my hubby for understanding that I need girl time with my sister! I love him for giving me that because it means he's stuck hanging out/watching TV in our bedroom all night one night :)
