| I hate the "idea" of date nights. It's another thing to "do" instead of just being something to enjoy. What ever happened to just making going out and having fun together without kids and without expectations. Not every meal together needs to be this crazy romantic gesture. Sometimes, just spending time together is fine and good and enough. Sometimes even going out isn't necessary. I'll take a glass of wine on the deck after the kids are sleeping. |

So don't do them. Don't call them date nights if that's too much pressure. I do think planning the time, whatever you call it, is important or too often it doesn't happen. Maybe start planning one "Mom & Dad" night a week that's just what you said, hanging out with wine or a show on netflix or something like that.
You don't have a real problem here. |
| Wwe have sex nights: wed, friday, saturday. So DH can get his quota and leaves me alone the rest of the week ? |
I feel sorry for you. |
That ? was supposed to be
|
With kids and our work, if we don't schedule it does not happen. And he gets sad. So... |
| What ever happened to women being able to have a voice and speak up about what they want? Nothing uglier than a nonconfident woman |
I'm confused. Why can't 'date night" be exactly what you suggest...going out and having fun together without kids and expectations? Isn't date night simply a night that married adults go out alone? What's keeping you from doing whatever it is you want on those nights? |

I grew to hate date nights too. Because I was starved for sex and developed an expectation that they would lead to sex. When they didn't, I got resentful.
I started liking them again when we had sex before the date, then I could enjoy the date without worrying about sex. |
You, personally, never get horny on a Sunday, Monday, Tuesday or Thursday? |
This is sad. Does he do anything for YOU in return? |
Seriously? People worry about sex?? Why not just ask for sex after the date? This is so weird. |
Yes. He leaves her alone the rest of the week. |
OMG what an entitled loser
|
Geez. How sad. He sounds like a real pest
