Opinions please: how many 'single sex nights out' are too many? Girls night out, boys night etc.

No I'm not referring to nights of secret debauchery, basically just nights spent apart doing things with others.

Part B: does it make a difference whether it's weeknight vs. weekend?

My ex-husband didn't do a regular guy's night out, it would be ski/snowmobile days and weekends. My fiance and I go out for dinners with our friends but those evenings end fairly early because of work the next day, or other obligations. It's an opportunity to catch up, but not a party type night, as neither we, nor or circles of friends, really do that. I might go to the occasional concert with a GF, but that is more of a rarety.

As many as you both enjoy and are ok with?

Agreed, of course, curious what discussions and arrangements others have had.

We don't have a stated limit. In our relationship, multiple times a month would be too many.

We've been married 23 years and have 3 kids. By the time we have a free night, we want to spend it TOGETHER.

I usually go to a happy hour once a week with the work peeps. My wife will go up to the mountains with her girlfriends once every few months for a weekend. We all need our personal space from time to time.

Once or twice a month. I agree with the others, free evenings are rare.

We spent a lot of time apart in the first few years of our relationships - so hanging out with our friends didn't get in the way of our time together since we weren't together. And now, my husband works evenings and weekends - so on his free nights, we pretty much spend them together. We prefer to spend our time together than apart so it's not really an issue.
