I havent asked my partner but going by the way he is its a big no no!!!!!! :(

when i was with my ex she did not like me going out with the boy's at all if i wanted to go out she had to come think heathy to have time apart and give you some thing to tell the other and is not a borring work story lol

Sure! We trust each other, and realize we don't need to be together 24/7. Every person needs friendships and social opportunities of their own. My husband and I enjoy many of the same activities, but there are others that one or the other of us doesn't like. So, you get your "fix" of that with your other friends.

If he/she isn't okay with it then they obviously don't trust you. There could be several reasons; maybe you can't handle your drink, or you get a little grabby. Thing is, though, if there is any lack of trust (no matter how stupid the reason might be) the relationship is doomed to failure. Why would someone who claims to love you not want you to spend time with other people who love you? Do they want you to be suffocated and unhappy?

Sure. Actually, specially if I take the kiddo along, he's happy to get me out of his hair so he can play computer games without interruption. If he wants to go out... well, I wish he would want to more often, even tho he's not likely to take the kid! Actually, this week I skipped our karate class and he took the kid anyway, and I got myself a nice hot bath without "Moooommmmyyy!" in the middle. Amazing! (I'm married, and we've always been happy to have other friends, just no secrets, and neither of us would do anything out of line in going out.)

My husband has never refused me anything that makes me happy....he's good like that. It is very rare that I do that though...just as soon be with him.

Yes, it is healthy for a relationship for the 2 involved to have time out. Trust is the main thing in any lasting relationship!
-
We actually encourage each other to have a night out w/ our buddies. It's not healthy for a couple to do EVERYthing together! Yes he is my best friend, but there's some "girl" things that me and him are just not going to talk about : )
-
Yeah, and I'm ok with him doing the same. A lot of times he'll go to the bar to play poker with the guys and I'll go to dinner and a movie with my girlfriends. We do a lot of stuff together, and share a lot of interests though, so like if he wants to play poker it's not always separate (we're having a big poker party at our house this weekend, for example). I trust him and I understand he needs time away from me just as much as I need my time away from him once in a while. It's not healthy for one partner or the other to control what you can do and who you can hang out with...
-
Yes
-
Sure. He knows there's times i just need to be with the girls and sometime's he just wants to hang with the guys.
-
My husband is fine if I want to go out with the girls.
