[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once a month maybe. He usually works nights and weekends and I think it would be totally unfair for him to leave the kids to go out more than that. If we didn’t have kids or he didn’t have an intense job I wouldn’t have a problem with three times a week, assuming we were still going on weekly dates. [/quote]

I am a woman and think this is too controlling. I am surprised.[/quote]

Well I wouldn’t be married to somebody who thought it was okay to spend more time with friends than his wife and kids so I’m really not controlling at all. [/quote]

Once a month seems super controlling to me.[/quote]

This is so funny. It just doesn’t seem controlling to be because it has literally never been an issue. My husband has always wanted to spend more time with his family than his friends. And I think this is part of the reason that our teenage daughter goes to him when she has problems and isn’t embarrassed to say I love you to him in front of her friends. He spends one-on-one time with both our kids each weekend. And I have never had one complaint about how much housework he does or how much time he spends with me (we try for dates once a week but it’s usually more like twice a month, and I’m pretty happy with that). I know he isn’t going to be one of those big law attorneys who winds up divorced and distant from his kids because he bills 2500 a year and forgot to be present with his family.

He does spend a lot of time working out, training for triathlons and stuff, so maybe if he didn’t do that I would also be okay with his spending more time with friends?  It’s actually kind of hard to say because he had never wanted to spend a significant time with friends so this is all a hypothetical. [/quote]
