We're boring, too :). We cook, eat and clean up and then DH usually plays a computer game while I take over the console. Usually we throw on Netflix for good measure, and then we go to bed after a couple hours.
Unfortunately FH works crazy hours so we don't get to see each other during the week (or even weekends sometimes). That will change once we buy a house though. We don't live together right now.
@miss-spunkin: Our nights sound pretty similar to yours! I usually cook while DH plays XBOX or watches TV, we eat, clean up together, and then watch TV together or go to the gym.
We are boring too :) DH actually usually cooks supper (leftover habit from his four months without a job after graduation last Dec. I made him be my wife :), clean up, I usually watch tv, hang out here, and work on my cross-stitches while DH peruses Reddit and plays video games.
We are lame-o but I like not having a ton to do like we did when were in school/wedding planning.
I watch him do homework. Really fun. lol
But usually eat dinner then maybe watch a few minutes of tv or a movie if it's the weekend.
My FI gets off work at 10:30 so he brings me home food... we eat while watching something on HULU then we lay down and watch something else on HULU and have lots of cuddles. He falls asleep around midnight and I continue to play on the computer till 3 or 4am lol. It's pretty much the same everynight.
We can definitely seem boring on weeknights but I find that nights we end up doing things during the week I'm just more tired! DH gets home at around 5, I get home at 6 and we make dinner. We're usually done with dinner by 7 and we watch TV or a movie. Sometimes we'll go on a walk around the neighborhood to talk. I'll usually go for a run at some point…either while dinner is cooking or at around 8. Eventually we move to bed and we usually talk while an episode of Friends is playing (we have all 10 seasons on DVD and just turn them on for background sometimes) before we go to sleep. We both get up at around 5:30am so I go to sleep pretty early, between 10 and 10:30. DH usually plays a game on his phone in bed and goes to sleep around 11.
We do the same stuff! I cook, FH plays Xbox, he does the dishes while I watch a little TV. Then we watch TV together, take the dog for a walk and read little before bed. We go to dance lessons twice a week, too. We used to play Boggle a lot- we should start doing that again. We're really trying to get out of the house more during the week, but it's so hard to motivate ourselves!
@jo.lee: yeah we have netflix for our wii as opposed to TV, much cheaper lol
what shows are you watching right now on netflix? We are liking melissa & joey, and I like Army Wives.
@Lindsay12.31.2010: we used to go to the gym together a lot more, then when we decided to try buying a house, we canceled our membership to save some $$. I can't wait to get our membership again! I miss it so much!
We have a similar evening schedule. We both get home around 6:30ish and usually DH grills something, I prepare the sides, or we make dinner together. After dinner, we clean up and assemble our lunches for the next day, watch TV, play on the computer, or read books. I am usually in bed by 9pm, lol. Sometimes he joins me, but he usually stays up a little later. I admit that sometimes I wish we could shake things up a bit on the weeknights....
@Ms. Gremmlin: boggle is one of our favorite games too! Poor hubby though always loses tragically to me haha
I like this post =)
He gets home before I do, usually 6 pm, I get home around 7ish. So by the time I get home dinner is just about done (he cooks on weekdays). We settle down infront of the TV (I know Mom, it's bad) and eat our dinner while watching Jeopardy hehe..we like to compete against one another on who gets more right =). Then we usually hang out for about an 1hr until one or both of us decides to go to the gym (across the street from our place, we are members of a pretty nice gym). If we don't go to the gym its usally more TV (him, like Monday night football) and me, reading or the Bee!...Then its shower time and bed time. I'm usually in bed by 11, just after the 10:30 news is over... he stays up a bit later on most nights.usually 12:30-1 am.
This is a typical night for us. Fi is in the shower, I've got dinner cooking, we'll eat in a few, then watch TV. Yay for domestic bliss!
@miss-spunkin: I just made it through Arrested Development and we're watching Eureka toghether :). It's such a good show!
When DH is home, we would usually go out with friends one night a week and went to his parents for dinner/games once a week. Some nights we designated as 'TV free' and would make coffee, turn on music, and read good books and discuss them.
We have had a few game nights, too, or gone out to an art show. Several cities near us have "First Fridays" or "Second Fridays" where the downtown shops stay open late, there's music, food, and the galleries are open to walk through. We did that once a month, and then tried to have friends over at least once a month.
We like lively weeknights and boring, relaxing weekends, I guess. :)
SO gets home around 7pm, so I usually have dinner ready. We eat and talk about our days. Then we'll usually put on of our many shared television obsessions (tonight we'll be watching last night's Dexter). We usually go to bed pretty early because we both have to be up early!
@bride2bejc: hahaha I always thought I would never be the type of person who eats dinner in front of TV, but we do all the time now! It's so bad.. once we have a family, I think we'll have to kick that habit.
FI gets home before I do most of the time so he starts dinner. When I get home I usually watch TV while he's finishing up or I'll pitch in if he needs some help. Our kitchen is tiny though, so that's rare. Then we eat, watch TV, work from home and play on the computer, depending on the night. We then head to bed.
Pretty much the same every night.
I get off at work at 8 while he gets off at around 5. After I come home I make dinner and we eat. Sometimes together and sometimes apart. He spends a lot of time on the computer he is usually perusing the internet or playing a game. I love to watch youtube make up videos when I have the time. Otherwise, I study or do homework because I am back in school for nursing. A lot of times we catch up on shows we missed the previous week because we canceled our cable and watch it through the internet. Sometimes, I feel like we are roommates instead of husband and wife, but I think we enjoy our independen time bc we have different interests. But, we make up for it later 
Sounds like most people have similar evenings!
We cook dinner (most nights he does, but lately I have been a lot more), clean up, watch TV or a movie. Sometimes we play scrabble or a video game.
He fitness trains a guy 2 times a week, so while he does that i make dinner and eat and clean up and play video games or run errands.
Its interesting to see all the similar routines that we all have. I live with FI and in laws, so by the time I get home around 630, fmil is almost done dinner. I set up the table go for a quick shower, by the time I'm done FI is usually getting home. We eat, chat with the family then go upstairs to our rooms. I go online for a bit (here of course hehe) watch some shows that I taped, while FI is in the other room playing xbox. We chill for a bit then bed time is usually around 10 or so. Yeah were boring lol
@couawilou: I'm so glad we're not the only boring ones! hahaha.
We do have a few activities we might do, like Friday nights we do dinner with my sister and her husband and we love that. We usually eat our 2-3 times a month, we do (like PP's reminded me!) go walking a lot.
If I'm home alone I do craft projects, knitting, sewing etc, or I'm on pinterest pinning projects I want to do haha. Or I'm here ;)
we are soo boring. Usually after work we have some sort of running around to do seperately, and he usually goes to the gym. Then we meet up at home, make supper, eat and watch tv. If we're not watching tv together then I'm editing photos (I'm a photographer) or on the bee. He's usually playing his NHL game.
Thursday night is trivia night at a local pub with a few other couples, which I really really enjoy. Soon, we'll also be taking dancing lessons on thursday nights which is a wedding gift from FI's aunt and uncle. This will be a surprise for those attending our wedding.
One thing I've noticed though is that we always go to bed together, around 10 30 or 11... one of us always waits for the other. I like that we have this routine together.
I love evenings with DH. We just moved into an artist's loft in a wooded part of the city. Nightly we walk our dog and then snuggle and watch tv in the loft. It has been really nice. He doesn't get home until almost 9pm, so we don't have too much time before we fall asleep, but we love it!
We work at the same place and share a car, so we commute together. If we have errands to run we get them done on our way home, then I cook while he hangs out on the computer or does random house chores. We eat dinner in front of the TV like a lot of you (even though I SWORE we'd use a dining table like civilized people after we moved... didn't happen...), and go to bed between 10 or 11. Pretty boring.
We really need to work on fitting some exercise into our routine! I'm considering mornings. Does that work for any of you?
I guess you could say we're boring, too (in our 20s!)
We both are really busy so by the time we get home at night, the last thing we want to do is be busy. He might play video games while I mess around on the computer, then we might watch TV or a movie. Every once and a while we might go for a short walk (being in the health field, I like to not be a total couch potato) or do some prayers/reflections/etc.
We like to cook and do so together, but due to being up early for our lives (5:30) we go to bed about 10.
Weekends are more exciting ;)
Sounds like we are very similar to yall! We typically get home around 6/630, but it's different every day. Then we cook dinner. They days I get home late, he cooks and the days I get home early, I cook. Then we will watch TV and eat. After that, we go to the gym and that tends to take a while. We typically don't go to bed until midnight for one reason or another, which is not good because we get up at 6:30! lol. I like our boring little lives.
I finish work really early as a teacher, usually 3:30 or 4, and I have pilates 3 times a week at 5 and if not I usually go for a long run on the alternate days. I get home and showered by about 6:30/7:00, which is when my fi gets home most nights. We start cooking dinner then, and usually watch a couple of eps of the West Wing (we're working our way through, at season 4 now...I don't want it to end!!), or go out with friends for dinner. I'm up at 5:45 so we never stay out late on a weeknight, but i do like catching up with people on weeknights. I'm a reader but my fi is not, so i usually try and get to bed by 9 so I can read for an hour. some nights he joins me for some funsies, other nights not. He usually comes to bed around 12, cause he doesn't have to get up early.
It really just depends on the week. FI drops his son off with his mom on Tuesday nights and picks him up on Fridays. On the days we have him, we try to do a lot of fun things, like bowling, baking, movies, arcades and such. FI plays football (or softball, depending on season) one day a week, typically Monday or Tuesday nights. I'll go out with friends here and there, usually weekends. Other nights when we are home, I'll make dinner and we'll watch Friends, That 70's Show, Dexter or some random movie. FI does a lot of homework at night while I do wedding planning. :) In the summer, we spend a lot of time at the pool in the evening, but it's seasonal, so we're getting our gym memberships activated so we can spend more time working out. Tonight, we're going out for dinner and I'm making caramel apples and Halloween goodie bags with FSS. :)
Assuming DH is home between 6-630. (he leaves 5:30am) and many nights he has poker, work dinners or works later.
Dinner
Walk the dog,
clean up
then TV or chess or he plays guitar and I am on the computer (same room).
Then we usually go to bed about 9 and read/talk in bed for 30-45 minutes.
During week days we are pretty boring! Come home change, head to the gym, run a couple errands, come home & shower, make dinner and watch a movie or something. We work out 5 days per week, so its nice to go together and get an hour of cardio in or weights together. Sometimes I will take a class and he will just lift weights or something, but our week days are really just work & the gym!
@Running Elley: Gotta love Friends in the wind-down process.
We are boring, too.
FI and I work opposite schedules. On a normal day for me I work mornings into the afternoon, and he works afternoon into night. In other words, I usually get home about an hour after he leaves for work. Our evening time is rather limited as a result. He gets home a bit before 9 pm, and we usually search online for new episodes of our shows to watch (since most shows start at 8/8:30, we have to wait till the following day to watch them together). After that, we usually go to our standby shows while we fall asleep together on the couch (old episodes of Friends, How I Met Your Mother, Community, or Modern Family).
Eventually one of us wakes up (before midnight if we're lucky) and nudges the other one to wake up and we brush our teeth and get into bed.
Every once in a while we mix things up with a card game or meeting at a bar for a drink. This month we're in a horror movie kick, so we've been watching them together on Netflix at night.
Being so close to the wedding our night have been pretty crazy. Well, mine have been anyway. Mon, Tues, & Thrs I go to Boot Camp. Wed I usually run errands. Fri FI and I usually go out to eat. Weekends are jam packed with birthdays, showers, hair appts, etc. Really looking forward to getting back to a 'normal' life in a couple weeks after the wedding. :)
FI and I hang out. Lay around. Cook dinner together. Play on the computers. Not too much going on in our lives.
Our nights are pretty boring too,they just run a bit later than everyone elses! DH works till around midnight if he doesnt have overtime,so I get in from college about 5/6ish, chhill out on here,watch rubbish on TV,and wait for him to come home. Then I make us dinner,we eat then go and watch more rubbish on TV in bed (gotta love late night crap TV lol) and usually fall asleep after an hour or so. It means we dont really get much "us" time when hes working,because he literally comes in,eats and we go to bed! But his days off are fridays and saturdays,and whilst Im at college all day friday and miss one of his precious days off, we make up for it on saturday lol!
Our evenings are rather boring. I get off of work at 12:30 and he works until 3:30 and is usually home around 4. We usually eat around 5 and who ever doesn't cook, cleans up. We piddle around the rest of the evening and watch the 9 o'clock and go to bed. We have custody of our granddaughter, so we don't get much alone time.
We have a house guest until Saturday. So things are a little crazy this week.

Just curious to see what other couples do in the evenings, together or apart?
We usually cook dinner (sometimes together, sometimes we take turns), and eat together. Do a quick clean of the kitchen, then watch TV for an hour. Have another hour of "pillow talk" just recapping our days and talking about stuff, then go to bed.
Occasionally we'll play a card game instead of TV, or read a book before bed, but we're pretty boring in the evenings and keep it pretty relaxed. My husband isn't done with work until 7pm, so by the time we've eaten and cleaned up after dinner, it's usually 8:30 anyway. We go to bed around 11.
