Same here, but I married an awesome life partner.

You make plans on how to spend your time and money without consulting your partner or taking his or her wants and needs into consideration?

Who said that?

You can do everything listed in 12:12 on a Saturday with absolutely no discussion or coordination with your spouse?

Yes. I don't have to consult with my husband if I do these things. If I'm going to leave the house, I tell him. Otherwise, no.
I choose what I want to do with myself and he chooses what he wants to for him.
We don't put limitations on each other. We know what our relationship is and how we want it to be.

I'm sure that you tell him where you are and when you'll be home. If you're running late you call to let him know. That's just basic common courtesy and all apart of being married and in love with each other. When you were single (unattached) you probably didn't have to answer to anyone, you were free to go wherever, whenever and didn't have to tell anyone else about your plans.

True, but a quick text telling DH that I'm going to happy hour is hardly something to be upset about.

No but you are aware throughout the evening that he is waiting for you to be home at a certain time and if you start running past that time you probably text him again to let him know that you're running late. And at a certain point you are probably aware that he will not be too happy with you if you stay gone much longer...

When you're single you just do what you feel like doing. If you feel like staying out until 1 am, you stay out. No need to explain (or text) anyone.

That's not the way my marriage works.

That's fine I suppose but most people in serious, monogamous relationships do operate that way. Their SOs absolutely do concern themselves with their whereabouts - which is actually kind of nice (really!). Not saying that it isn't nice to be on a loved one's radar, but you do (usually) lose the freedom of your single days once you are in a committed relationship. Usually.
