I have teen DC, DH & several different individual friends who don't know each other. Me and DH work FT.

I organise my social life in a way that if I'm seeing a friend on either a Fri or Sat night then I'll leave the other night to spend with DH. Im also just as happy at the weekends at home just me and DH fri & sat night.

I see most of my individual friends every 4-6 weeks. We all work, have DC and busy lives. But, I have 1 friend who wants to meet up as much as possible. This can mean I can end up in the situation where on the weekend I've arramged to see another friend, i then up also seeing this friend too and both my fri & sat nights are then taken up. Going out 2 nights in a row is too much for me. This friend is constant with her wants to go out and sometimes wants to meet up 3 times a week. I say no to her so much and feel bad saying no yet more times.

Do you do social things during the work week?

Your mate is totally unreasonable and too demanding. You are not doing anything wrong!
