Polling All MARRIED ATOT'ers

[Aquila76]

I feel ya, jbourne77. My wife does the same thing, but even worse. We don't have any kids, so it's a little easier for us to get out.

If a buddy asks me to come watch the game or play hockey/football/pool/etc., she says 'Go' and I'll go and be happy. When I get home, she's happy that I had a good time.

If one of my wife's friends asks her to go see a movie or go to a wedding shower/etc., she makes excuses to stay home and do virtually nothing (watch TV or play card games on the PC) although I encouraged her to go out. Then she complains that her life is boring.

I know there are relatively few females on this board, but can a female (KarenMarie maybe? She posted here already) explain to me why women do this to their husbands? Do women think they're making their husband's lives better if they 'sacrifice' their own happiness? All we husbands really want is for both of us to be happy. We have a lot of fun when we go out and do things together; why can't we also have fun when we're apart?

Hmm... I actually never do anything without my wife.

this is the same with my husband and I, but i really do enjoy him and his company.
The only thing i really do is go visit my grandmother and shop with her.

Other than that, we do a lot together because we surprisingly have a lot in common. There are times, however, when he goes to the garage and works in there or outside but I think we are pretty happy with the way things work.

poll is proof all sex comes to an end when u get married.

REASON: you are legally bound to her now, her one bargaining chip to keep u around has been replaced with a once a month or less encounter.

post is proof you don't know WTH you're talking about.

it was said tongue in cheek buddy....the stats say that 50% only get it once per month!

I think you're misinterpreting the poll... the question was how often do you go out without your wife, not how often do you have sex.

ohhhhhhhhh ok never mind.

Emily Litella? :laugh:

There are times when around the house that I am doing something geek wise and she is doing her thing but we never go to the store without one another or any place other than when she goes to starbucks with a friend, but then I am in class so that doesnt really count.

We spend ALL of our time together. We play games with the kids, read, watch movies/TV, etc. When we're home, we are all together as a family. It's not like we each scatter about the house and do our own thing.

I may have misunderstood and please correct me if I'm wrong, but in your posts you said that you want to have time away from home without the wife and kids and you encourage your wife to have time away from home without you and the kids. Then you said that you do spend time at home with the wife and kids, but you didn't mention anything about spending time away from home with just the wife or with the wife and kids.

If that's the case then it sounds like she thinks you only spend time with her or her and the kids when you have nothing better to do. Do you also find time once or twice a week to go out with her or with the family?

You hit the nail on the head for most of us (married peoples). I used to spend 1 night a week at the FD (vol.) away from my wife and daughter. What I was doing wasn't the problem, it is what I wasn't doing which was making time to spend specifically with her durring the week.
