Enlighten me: why do some couples only go out with another couple/s in the evening/holidays etc, and never ever just the 2 of them?

[cafesociety]

Special times and nights out, even holidays are always spent with friends, any one of a number of couples they know. Otherwise they sometimes go out on all female of all male nights out with their friends.

But never as a couple.

I'm fascinated as I find it a bit odd. But maybe it's just me....I'm not very sociable and this seems to be at the other end of the spectrum. Surely a balance of friends and going out as a couple would be healthier?

You have to talk to each other if it's just the two of you. Some couples I think would seriously struggle with that.

My OHs friend are the same. Cant seem to even fart without the rest of the group being there
