    Probably once every other weekend. We try to balance alone time equally, so I'll go do something with my friends one Saturday and he'll take off the next weekend.

    He works Monday thru Thursday and I work Saturday and Sunday. So he can do something in Fridays but usually he chooses to stay home and keep LO and tells me to go do something. He keeps her on weekends and he golfs usually one day a week and his mother keeps the baby. Other than that, he's either at work or at home doing school work to finish his drafting degree. He's very much devoted to us even though I try to encourage him to go out for a beer or something with buddies. He's just way too busy

    SS here. DH and five of his buddies are partners in a tailgate company, so he goes and works on that (on average) twice a week during college football season. We have a lot of the same friends so most of our hang out time is together when those friends plan an event or when we have softball games in the summer. Winter rolls around and we all get pretty hermit-like.

    SO works 6-7 days a week and doesn't get home until 6:30pm. I'm a teacher so my hours and days are much better than his. For the most part, we do things as a couple. We have mutual friends. Him and the guys hang in one room and us ladies usually take the other living room with the kids. We don't spend a lot of time together because of how much he works so neither one of us really has "me" time. Trying to find a night time sitter so we can have more time with just the two of us out.

    I work in a not very demanding role, and DH stays home with DD. Every Thursday night I don't get home till after 730pm because I am a youth leader for St John those nights. DH plays competitive bowls on the weekend and the season has just started - so plays at least one day every weekend over summer. In January he will be going away for a week for a tournament.

    So every week we both get time away from the house doing our hobbies (St John is a hobby for me). I actually encourage him to play his bowls, because otherwise his life would only be DD and I. I believe things should be a balance, and there is no way I would want to be stuck home 24/7, so I wouldn't do that to DH. Plus that way on weekends I get one on one time with DD. 

    ATM it is working, but is open to discussion if either of us don't feel happy with the arrangement.
