If married, do you spend most of your free time with your spouse? (wives, ladies)

[Dingler]

My wife is my best friend and we spend most of the weekend together. Though this is not the case with most of my friends. Many of them spend very little time with their wives or husbands. They do things on weekends with friends, relatives or by themselves.

Do people who spend alot of their free time with people other than their spouse have bad marriages or just giving each other space?

I've been together with my partner for 18 years and we still spend pretty much all our free time together ! We enjoy the same things ( theatre, concerts, architecture and history) and love spending time with each other and discussing things we have seen and done. I feel very privileged as so many people seem to want to spend time with anybody but their other-halves. I wouldn't want it any other way.

Yes and No. Sometimes we go out together, sometimes with friends, sometimes by ourselves. Im not sure why, but i like to have my own time, fish on my own for a few hours, and she has her ladies groups she goes to. Just makes it more special when we do go out together.

Yes my husband and I really enjoy being together, that's why we got married
We are best friends and have a lot of fun together. We never get bored with each other, I get so excited when I hear the garage door open and know he's about to walk in the door!

I spend a lot of time with my BF of 11 years. We do a lot of things together whenever we have the same days off. It's nice. But when I have the day off by myself I really enjoy that as well.

Cool Thread!

Of course, I couldn't help but chime in. My hubby & I have been together for 24 years, and we've pretty much spent most of that time together...with the exception of a few business trips.

He prefers to do things that I can be included in, and vice versa. Sure, occasionally I'll got to the mall without him, or he'll go to Lowe's or OSH without me, but that's about it. Otherwise, if it's some form of entertainment or leisure activity....we're a team. We wouldn't have it any other way. We just truly enjoy each others' company.

We too are best friends, and I feel very blessed to have him in my life. I wouldn't trade him for the world.....a 33 Ford 3 Window Coupe, maybe, but not the world.

after 10 years we spend 95% of our time together, outside of work

Lately, since we are stuck in Texas (16 more days until we leave - WooHoooooooo!!!!) we are kind of joined at the hip because there's nothing for us to do here and we don't really know anybody. But when we are back in CA where we belong, I'd say it's a 50/50 split - we each have our own hobbies and friends, so probably about 50% is spent with those people or doing those things and 50% of the time (when we aren't at work) we spent together just us or us and our kids.

I spend every moment I can with my husband...I feel disconnected when we are apart...like a part of me is missing. But with others you never know...some people have wonderful marraiges and love each other but just don't feel that need to be around each other all the time...and then some others are miserable and just want to stay away as much as possible. You just never know unless they confide in you on how they feel.

I enjoy my free time but the time with my wife I enjoy most. We are a match made in heaven. My first wife always wanted to fight-- I hated being around her. I feel very lucky to have found my match.
