Just curious and I wanted to put the answers with my marriage.

1. How often do you go out with your friends? If you dont/do how often is appropriate?

2. When you go out drinking, gambling etc. what time do you usually get home? What time do you feel is appropriate?

3. How many times do you go out with spouse to do fun or romantic activities? Do you hire a sitter? Do you feel as if you are neglecting kids if you go out?

4. Are there any restrictions that are set as to where you can go such as certain clubs or establishments?

5. Do you call/text spouse when you are out to let them know I am ok and do periodic checkups just to make sure things are alright.

Please answer seriously bc this is my last hoorah for this marriage. I got a lawyer and everything ready and I just feel like I owe it to God, my kids and me and the wife maximum effort.

1. I don't go out weekly or anything, but I do take a lot of trips to Vegas and Charlotte to visit my best friends. Probably 6-8 trips/year

2. My wife doesn't care when I get home, as long as I get home safely.

3. Once a week. Yes, we get a babysitter. (same one every time). No, we don't feel like we're neglecting our kids. We feel we owe it to each other to spend quality time with one another, without the stress of the kids. Our world revolves around our children the other 6 3/4 days/week, so we have no qualms about some time away.

4. We don't restrict each other. We respect each other and don't want to ruin the good thing we've got. Neither of us worry about what the other is doing.

5. I normally call/text my wife early on and then she'll call/text right as she's going to bed.

Not married, in a LTR, but these issues came up early on. Believe it or not, I am the one who was going out and staying out way late, and he'd have the temper tantrum.

1. How often do you go out with your friends? If you dont/do how often is appropriate? not often, but tend to do long weekends away. Don't go out more because most of my good friends are up in Michigan, 5 hours away. Hence the long weekends.

2. When you go out drinking, gambling etc. what time do you usually get home? What time do you feel is appropriate? I get home when I want to. I have been known to stay all night playing cards, which caused a major fight. We came up with the compromise in #5.

3. How many times do you go out with spouse to do fun or romantic activities? Do you hire a sitter? Do you feel as if you are neglecting kids if you go out? N/A as we don't have kids. But I do know how important it is for a couple to get out together, without kids, without guilt. I was married and raised two kids, and not having that time together with COMMON INTERESTS is a marriage killer.

4. Are there any restrictions that are set as to where you can go such as certain clubs or establishments? No. We just have to be honest. He can go to the strip clubs. So can I if I want ;)

5. Do you call/text spouse when you are out to let them know I am ok and do periodic checkups just to make sure things are alright? Yes. I have to call when I get there. I also have to give a time when I will next "check in" via text, usually four hours later. Then I also call when I am heading home. This is because one night I went to Wheeling to play poker without him, left at 1 in the afternoon, got home the next day about 9am. He was pissed. something about dead on the side of the road, kidnapped or blah blah blah. So, even though I know I can take care of myself, it is common courtesy, and important to him so I compromised.

1. How often do you go out with your friends? If you dont/do how often is appropriate? Every other day
2. When you go out drinking, gambling etc. what time do you usually get home? What time do you feel is appropriate? When either 1 of our parents are feeling like spending time w/ the kids

3. How many times do you go out with spouse to do fun or romantic activities? Do you hire a sitter? Do you feel as if you are neglecting kids if you go out? lol @ kids getting neglected

4. Are there any restrictions that are set as to where you can go such as certain clubs or establishments? We roll together

5. Do you call/text spouse when you are out to let them know I am ok and do periodic checkups just to make sure things are alright. It's like a ritual

1- Every few weeks a group of us tries to get together. All married with kids so it changes. Wife has a girls night out every other week along with 20+ concerts a year.
If you count Gaming a few of us nerd out on friday nights and play WOW, and use vent. So even tho I dont leave the house. ITs 3-4 hrs of drinking and talking smack.

2-There is no set time for either of us to get home. IF you are having fun stay out and have fun. UNless one of us works in the morning, stay out as long as you want. We try to give a bit of a time frame, but no set time. Just a "hey I should be home aroudn 2am." or whatever. If its going to go way over that time then we might call and be." hey going to stay out a bit longer."
3-We try every other week. Working 2 diffrent shifts and I working 2 jobs. We dont see each other much. We text/call through out the day, to stay in touch tho. THere is prob always a bit of guilt when away from kids. But dang There is always one of us with the kids 24/7 the rest of the time. Plus they love hanging with the grandparents.

4-Not at all. If you trust each other doesnt matter were they go.

5-Depends. There is no rule or anything. SO if there is texting/calling, Its usually of the random stupid kind, not checking up. Wife likes to drunken text from concerts tho, So pictures of random ppl dressed retarded, or report of that band sucked, or I got to get an autograph of so and so, type stuff. On the way home if its not late. We usually call each other just to shoot the shit on the ride home.
