... For your so/dh to go out to the bars with his friends??
I understand that guys need time with just their buddies. I'm just wondering what each of you ladies consider ok?
Dh is pouting because I "never want him to go out". I just feel like there is more mature things to do than go drink beer at the bar. Majority of his friends are single- so the buddies go out all the time.

I would be irritated if he went out every weekend because that's when he should be spending time with meeee!!! I am more important than his friends! Lol. But for real.

Hubby fires out probably once or twice a week. I've gone out one since having DD in November. Can't say I like it. Mostly because he stays out longer than he says he will. Sometimes feels like he'd rather do that than stay home with me and BG.

Mine never goes out. He prefers to be with me.

My husband is a DJ and spends pretty much every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night in the bar.  Once in awhile he will have a few drinks but not often.  I know I am welcome to go with him anytime I want, sometimes he will bug me until I agree lol

I dont car if my husband goes out or not with his friends. I never say anything . just because his married to me that don't mean I'm his owner. And same goes for him. I do what ever I want and he does to. but he knows if something bad gets back to me I will retaliate it in the most treacherous ways. And he can take that to the bank.:-)

Mine goes out about every other Saturday. We're both unemployed right now and I'd love it if he would get out of this house more often. We're driving each other crazy! Lol he and his friend go to a bar here in town to hang out for a few hours, but he doesn't drink

Well I don't know how old you and your DH are but it seems the older men get the less they generally want to go out, mainly because they mature out of the bar-hopping phase that the single guys get into. If Dh goes out with one of his friends or a group of them, it's maybe once or twice per year. Everyone we know is married with kids and have lives and have moved past the bar thing. If one of them is in town or in our area a group of them will plan to get together and will go out for a few hours, but DH only has one or two drinks. Like I said, our group of friends are older and the bar thing isn't important anymore. When you're single you can go out more often because you don't have responsibilities to being with other people. When you have a wife and kids at home, you have other priorities. I think if a guy wants to go out once or twice per month it wouldn't be too much, as long as he wasn't getting plastered drunk each time and staying out all night.
