[quote=Anonymous]My DH does not but he doesn’t drink and is very introverted. Sometimes he’ll go to dinner with friends. They’re all nerds (said lovingly) so sometimes they’ll go see movies their wives don’t want to see with them. It’s rare, like a few times a year. They zoom now, and do zoom coffee breaks and cocktail hours.

I drink and go out for drinks with friends. Sometimes bars, sometimes restaurants, sometimes movies with bars, sometimes parties or events (there’s always something going on if you look for it). Depends on the friends and occasion. I usually take the train so I don’t have to drive so I’m usually home by 1am, but if I don’t feel like I’d be safe or if I stay later (Sunday nights or reduced hours due to covid), I’ll Uber. Outside of covid times, I probably go out 1-2 times a month.

We’re both responsible and reasonable. We have different social needs and encourage each other to nurture and meet those needs without inconveniencing each other. We also (pre-covid) had date night weekly unless work travel prevented it. I wish he’d go out more but I keep it to myself. Her says he’s happy with his calendar, but his mood is improved after hanging out with friends. I think he feels it’s not worth the anxiety before going out.

Most of our friends seem to have a similar setup with both couple and individual friends and it seems pretty equal. The only time I remember it being unequal was when babies were involved, but that’s a phase and usually the guys didn’t take advantage too much. [/quote]
