Rarely. Pretty much when I am OOT for work, when one of us has a work dinner in town, and when he takes one for the team and has dinner with MIL on his own (for which he really should be canonized).
Anywhere from zero to 3 times. If either of us is taking a class at night, there's automatic 1 - 2 nights. If one of us has plans with our friends without spouses, there's another. If one of us has an evening meeting, that can sometimes cause us to eat separately depending on the time and location. I guess it could be up to 4 - 5 nights if all of those things happened in one week, but they generally don't.
We eat apart more frequently than we eat together. We work opposite shifts, so it often isn't feasible. On a good week, we eat together 3-4 times. Some weeks it is 0.

Four to five nights a week. We have different work schedules and commuting preferences, so we rarely see each other, much less eat together, on week nights. I steadfastly maintain that this keeps our marriage healthy, since it means we really look forward to those nights we're together.
We eat separately at least 2 nights a week since he has class on Monday and Wednesday evenings.
We are technically eating together the other nights, but have developed a bad habit of sitting on the couch watching TV/surfing the internet while we eat dinner. I've been trying to get us to sit at the table more often.
We eat together almost every night. We plan our weekly menu together and I do most of the cooking but he does the dishes. It's a good trade-off. The only times we eat separately are when I go out with my friends for girls night.

Very very rarely. Maybe once or twice a month. This results in eating very late some days (he takes kung fu lessons twice a week and doesn't get home until 9:30), but we really enjoy cooking and eating together. Sometimes it's the only time we have together for the day.

It depends on his schedule. He often has to work through dinner. If he is not at work, we always eat dinner together for family dinners for the kid. Before we had DD, it would only be a few times each week.
Most of the time. I think we actually eat dinner together only about 1 night a week. He works nights and I work days so our meals are normally at completely different times.
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.
Almost every night. A better question would be when *do* we eat together, lol. He doesn't come home until 6:30-7 most nights and I usually start getting hungry around 5
3-4x a month. It'll be a little bit more probably now that DH is in his softball season. He has games 1-3x/week and I'll go to some but not all of them.
Not very much. We have a steady schedule were we're both home by 4pm. On night when he has softball or we're doing something separately, of course we'll eat without the other, but it's not that often. Maybe 3-4x a month?
Very rarely. FI can't cook, and I LOVE to cook. So if I'm not home for dinner, he just snacks. We've basically eliminated dining out from our budget, so I try to be home to make dinner every night... so he can actually eat, haha.
very rarely, only when one of us is really busy or away from home, i can't eat too late since my ambien won't work on a full stomach, and we go to bed early since we are up at 4 AM.
