To ask..how much do you socialise with your partner versus alone

[Zippyzoppy]

Just curious to hear what proportion of the time you go out with your partner. So for every 100 times you went for a night out/to socialise how many would be with, and how many with them?

Probably 80/90% with partner.

Probably about 50/50.
Been with my husband 30 years, married for 10 this year. We went out last night together to a live concert 🎵

50/50? Probably.

Probably about... 60% with partner, the rest with friends and/or other family members.

80% without, 20% with.

Most with partner. Maybe 70/30?

The split has changed since having kids... I go out more for just girls nights now and the guys then get their turn. I miss when our friend group all went out together but someone's got to stay in and watch those kiddos 😅🤣

Roughly 50/50, maybe slightly more without each other, but not very much more.

He hardly socialises at all, apart from with our (adult) dch, who come home to us. So I go out alone or with friends probably 95 times out of 100.

Only about 25% with partner - babysitting is too expensive, special occasions only.

60% without
40% with

We mainly socialise separately because the other one stays at home with DS. We generally only socialise together when it's a family event.

Probably around 4 in every 5 nights out without DH, maybe more. Kids and multiple friendship groups just mean it works out that way.

Maybe 30% partner, 70% solo...but that's because we have a child and pay for a babysitter once a month.

Unless you count a evening meal in the pub where we're both present but as is our child? Or like on Sunday when we went as a threesome to see a family event at the halle Orchestra...if that counts then probably a higher percentage.

Mostly socialise without dh. We only go out together for dates, mostly dinners for birthdays, anniversary, Valentine's Day, the odd extra. Only other times would be for a wedding or christening, but those are few and far between.

Doesn't bother me though. I enjoy our date nights (when we get to have them!) but I love socialising with my girlfriends without dh and he'll attend something if it's important to me, so that's all I need.

I would say 80 - 90% without. He has a large group of lad friends, we used to socialise a lot with them and their partners, but there's been a few breakups over the last few years and the group has fallen apart a bit. I still get together with some of the partners for girls nights, but we don't all get together as a group very often anymore.

I socialise with my friends mostly by myself except for weddings/christmas meal when we bring partners, and I also have friends from hobbies that he's never met.

80% socialising without, 20% with. We have young kids though so one usually stays with the kids whilst the other escapes.

I’d say a 3:1 ratio. I go out with my friends about once a fortnight and DH (either alone or to an event) about once every six weeks.

Both used to be higher in frequency (we have a toddler, so go out much less), but the ratio was similar.

Interesting. We have grown children so they aren’t a factor for us. I reckon I’m about 80/20, but most of my friends seem to socialise with their husbands more than me, so was just wondering if I was an outlier. It seems I’m not alone.

95% without partner.

We spend a lot of time together and I love him very much, but I really enjoy spending time with my female friends without him.

I don't really enjoy socialising with other couples: it changes the dynamic and can feel forced.

Grown DC here too, my DP just doesn’t like going out! We spend time together at home, but he’s just more of a homebody. I’d never go anywhere if I waited for him! I go on holiday without him as well.

Good question. I’d say 60% without, 30% DH & me, 10% DH & me & friends.

90%+ with

Roughly 50/50

15% with - we only see each other on weekends and bank holidays so rest of time make our own arrangements.
