We are at opposite ends of the spectrum here which of course fits his introvert nature and my extrovert nature. I go out at least once a week and he goes out without me maybe once a year? I also take a few girls trips a year. He does no guys trips. We do couples date nights but those don't count nor does taking our kids places alone for father/son father/daughter time. He does work out all the time but it's not social for him so I can't count that. And our kids are older too, eight and ten. He is just really content without it or so he says...

Its hard to say what counts. A HUGE part of H's job is networking. So he has a lot of nights out that are job related (like taking a few people to a MLB game, for example) that are also somewhat a night out with the guys. Its really gray.
If you count all of those, its easily once a week. If you don't, I would say once a month only because he has so many other evening things.
So rarely. I go out much more than he does. I would absolutely be fine with him having guys nights out on a regular basis but he's not interested. I, on the other hand, cherish my ladies brunches and, less frequently, dinners.
When he goes on trip for work they all go out at night. His only friends are from work, so that's most of his guy nights. Very occasionally there's a local event that someone puts together. It probably evens out to once/month.
It's really hard for us, because he works normal week day hours, and I work Friday and Saturday nights. I get one weekend off a month, but we usually have something planned.
He does occasionally go get a beer after work with buddies, does that count?
