How often do you eat separately from your husband?

[Deleted]

Dinner specifically.

[315bride]

Usually five nights a week. We work different hours and his schedule rotates days of the week. I usually only get two nights a week where we even get to see each other.

[IIOY]

All the time. His schedule is unpredictable. We have two kids so we totally fail the "dinner as a family" rule. No doubt my kids will spend years in therapy because of this.

[Wines Not Whines]

4 nights a week (weeknights) we eat separately. He gets home too late to eat with us most days. One night a week, we both eat late after the kid is in bed.

[fuddyduddy]

Rarely. If we are both home, we almost always eat together.

ETA: If he is out with friends, away for training, or deployed, we obviously don't eat together.

[noodleskooze]

Usually, four nights a week. Now that he has graduated, and I'll be off for the summer (teacher), we'll eat together more often.

[SpicedApplePie]

Usually Monday and Wednesday. Sometimes Tuesday. So 2-3.

[vegas]

Maybe once a month at the most. We make eating together a priority.

[yellowbrkrd]

It completely depends on his work schedule. We went weeks without having dinner together but this week and last we had dinner together every night.

[Deleted]

Rarely. He knows what time I cook dinner so he knows if he wants to eat he better be here or he is on his own.

[kelly072206]

Rarely.

[Velvetshady]

We've been making a specific point to try to eat dinner together at least one night per week this year. We've been averaging 1-2 per week.

He gets home from work at 9:30-10pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. I rarely wait for him. He works from home on Weds and we try to eat together when I'm working from home as well. Weekends are a crap shot depending on what we are each doing.

[ijack]

It depends. Sometimes we eat together every night (and always with the kids), but if he's traveling then we can't.

[Roc A Bee]

1% of the time.

[rikki]

About half of the time.

[rex]

Probably 5 nights a week. I'm the one who's home early (330p) and he gets home around 8 and I can't wait that long to eat dinner.

[Pom]

He was always out of town for work up until 8 months ago. Since he is now home every night, we almost always eat together.

[Brie]

For dinner? We probably eat dinner together 6/7 nights a week or so. He gets home late but I like to eat together so I wait.

[megs193]

About 4 night a week. He usually travels Monday thru Thursday for work.

[savannah11]

Almost never. Occasionally he'll work late and I might eat with the kids but even then I'll usually just wait for him.

[giantsgirl]

Only when one of us is travelling or has a work dinner. If we are both at home we eat together. We are fortunate to have similar schedules and be able to do that.

[evans]

Not that often.

[victoria0993]

Rarely. The only time we eat dinner separately is when one of us is out with friends.

[ssmjlm]

Maybe once a week when I go to yoga. Although even then half the time he waits for me to get home.

Why do you ask?

Golf league starts tonight.

So I'll be available again for dinner every Tuesday now. LOL.

[mccallister84]

Not married but SO and I usually hit 5 nights. From September to June he works a part time job one night a week and we usually reserve one night a week to eat individually with friends.

I figure there is always a reason behind your questions haha

There is always a reason!

[bookqueen15]

At least once a week since I work a late shift every Tuesday during the school year and don't get home until 10:30 pm. Occasionally another night too if one of us goes out with friends otherwise we always eat together if we're both home.

[Deleted]

At least 4 nights a week when he works 2nd shift.

[lilibet]

Fairly often, probably 2 to 3 times a week. He often works until 10 pm so I eat at my usual time while he's at work.
