Sometimes we go out together but he still has single friends who want him to go out from time to time so he goes. He never stays out late he always says he missing me and comes home. At the same time most of the time if I wanted to go no one would care.
We do a lot of going out with couples, but I know he needs his guy time so I have no problems with him going out. What's so nice about my DH is that he doesn't feel the need to do guy nights very often, so it's never a problem.
I voted for "we each have our night out alone" but that usually involves him going to a friends house to play video games while I go to a rodeo with my sister. She's still riding but obviously all I can do right now is just hold the horse. ::grumbles:: DH doesn't like bars, and his BFF is married too.

Yes, usually after I'm asleep LOL. I fall asleep by 9:30-10 a lot of nights and his best friend works late and stops by for a beer and to hang out. Sometimes they go to his friend's brother's house which is nearby, or his father's down the street and play pool. We've been married 10 years, I don't think we have to be attached at the hip.

my BF goes out once a week during the summer after his softball games, and then once in a while the rest of the year to watch a sports game with friends at a bar. I don't really think of it as a big deal.
He only goes out by himself if I'm busy or out of town. Even then, he normally just hangs out at people's homes - he really isn't a bar guy. He has one friend who is married but acts like a bachelor and won't go over there when I am home because he always keeps him out until 2am or later - even when DH has to work the next day. So unthoughtful!
Any wife who doesn't trust her husband to go to a bar without her has serious trust issues.

This! My DH goes out at least once a week (sometimes more) and I have no problem with it. I go to bed around 10:00 so I'm asleep anyway. If there's a time when I really want him to stay home he will but it's rare. I'd rather just go to bed. When I want to go out I go out. No biggie. We go out together sometimes of course but like a pp said we don't need to be joined at the hip. We each have our own interests and like to do different things.

As much time as we spend together, we still each have our own separate outings with friends. We both have single friends, which is part of it, but there are also things that I like to do (shopping) that he doesn't, and the other way around. I think it's healthier that way--you have to trust your spouse!
We used to go out to bars together, but I haven't felt like it much since I've been pregnant.
He still goes and meets up with our friends on Friday and Saturday nights. I make it out about once a week to once every other week, and I only stay out until about midnight these days.
However, he told me that once I hit week 36 that he won't be drinking anymore... just in case. lol.
If he goes out after work, I never really go, maybe once ina blue moon cause he works in NYC and for me to go into the city is more of a pain in the arse. When we go out with his friends we go out together... Everyone of them FINALLYY either has a GF, FI or Wife. So we are all pretty good friends and have known e/o for a while. The Island is so small that most of us knew each other before we met our Sig Other

It's rare, and I am usually invited but don't want to/can't go so he gets a guys night. Its nice b/c I can get alone time at home, or I have a girls night. Mostly he's with the married neighbour guys though and then I am with the wives.
I think it's only healthy to be able to be seperate people sometimes.

He goes out with the other cops at work about once every 2-3 months. It's always after work and WAY past my bedtime and I don't mind at all because I trust him completely and I know he needs that time. I actually go out with the girls a lot more frequently, but not to bars. Just to dinner.
Re: Does your DH/BF...
I've always gone out way more than my boyfriend does. I would estimate that for every 10 times I go out, he goes out once.
