Do you do most things together and is it very difficult for you to be apart from one another? Has having a baby made that bond stronger?
I have a co-worker who is attached at the hip to his wife. She even came on his interview with him!!!!
-
Definitely not. We can do our own things. Having a baby has made us do things separately a lot. One of us goes out while the other one stays home with the baby so we don't need a babysitter.
This was written using Siri. Yay!
-
we definitely do our own thing. but now that we have two kids, we are together a lot because it's hard to watch two alone!
-
That's so extreme! (your coworker).
We def do our own thing, it's what keeps us balanced! We are homebodies and enjoy spending a lot of our free time together, but during the work week and our off-days that are not together, we like to do our own thing and each have "me-time" / "friend-time" without each other
-
Not really. He travels so we're together a lot during his non traveling days, but we do our own thing too
-
We are pretty much inseparable as far as our social lives, but I sure wouldn't attend an interview with him!
-
Nope, not at all. He'd get rid of me (and vise versa) if I was a clinger.LOL
-
We both of our "friend-time" and it helps keep us balanaced and grounded. We usually spend out week nights together and at least one weekend night, but we both are the type of people that need "me-time" and would get very crabby if we don't get it. We are very independent people so it works for us!
-
We do love spending time together. But we start to drive each other crazy without our "me time."
-
We do our own thing a lot. When we were dating (in high school and college) we were really clingy. Now, we definitely need our own space to have me-time and friend-time. But its always nice to come back together because we have things to talk about since we aren't always together.
-
Wow, that’s kind of creepy! (your co-worker’s situation). I would totally be creeped out and annoyed if my husband wanted to come on an interview with me.
We love spending time together, but we are also really independent people. Like – a perfect evening is being home together in the house, but with each of us doing our own things. We also go out with friends, or do activities on our own a lot. We both require a lot of “me” time.
Like Ms.MamaBear said, we both would have dropped the other if they had been the clingy type.
-
I think most people would consider us inseparable. I never wanted to be that person, but he wants to be together a lot. Not in a clingy way, just in an I-enjoy-things-more-when-I-can-share-them-with-you kind of a way, which I appreciate. Since we have a baby and I'm back to work while he is a SAHD, I find it a little easier to have time at home without him without hurting his feelings, since I do want to spend time alone bonding with the baby and he understands that.
-
We do our own thing, but prefer to be together. I wouldn't come on DH's guys nights out or his band practice. And he wouldn't come to dinner with me and the girls or to my book club. But we usually plan things so that we're together and on weekends we don't leave each others sides.
For example I had a work dinner last night and by the time I got home at like 10:30 DH was really missing me! I would have preferred that he came with me, but since no one else brought a spouse I couldn't. But on Friday I went to a concert with some coworkers and I brought DH - Fridays and Saturdays are sacred couple time for us and it's pretty hard to separate us on those days!
-
On DH's days off, we try to do things together but not always. I'm a SAHM, while DH works really long hours, so we definitely are apart more than we are together.
-
That's definitely a bit extreme but there isn't much that DH and I do separate.....
I do think it's funny though b/c the things we do do separate like when DH interviewed for his new job, He calls me AS SOON AS HE'S DONE! And on his way home from work EVERYDAY! lol
So I guess you could say we're pretty inseparable! lol
-
We do everything together mostly because we have the same friends. But we make sure we have our own hobbies and spend time with our buds separately.
-
We do most things outside of work together but we just moved to a new town where we know very few people. Back in SF, we did a lot together too outside of work but had our "me time" too. It was a good balance!
-
I feel we are pretty blanaced here. We do a lot together, even work together. But we still do our own things fairly often.
Going to an interview with your SO? Thats a little extreme! -
we do a lot of stuff together. we go out to eat, hang out, etc together. he always wants me to go with him to his work functions (unless it's like a meeting or something).... we can do our own thing too but spend more together than apart. we'll see how the dynamics change once the babies arrive.
-
We're usually together. But we don't have an issue going out without the other person. We just like to do things together so we do.
My brother and his wife won't leave each others sides. It's pretty weird.
-
We are usually together, but definitely not as extreme as your coworker. That's crazy!
-
We're pretty inseparable. Neither of us really finds it necessary to have "guy time" or "girl time" or "me time"... we prefer to share everything. Sometimes we'll be forced to spend time apart (like for a bridal shower, or work thing) and we definitely appreciate the time apart and enjoy telling each other about it afterwards, but overall we'd prefer to be together.
Now that we have a baby we can't do as much together at night (one of us has to stay home while the other goes grocery shopping, etc) so we've both learned to be more independent. But we really are each other's best friends and are total peers and equals in every sense of the word, and I've always been the kind of person who likes to go everywhere and do everything with her best friend. I kind of drove a few girlfriends away with that :T
He is so incredibly easygoing that he doesn't mind either way. I always ask him if he wants to go snowboarding with his buddies, go to a bar, alone time to read, etc.... even if he does go, he always comes back and asks if I want to go too. Hehe. We're really two peas in a pod and just prefer to be together.
Rob Sr. has driven me to interviews and waited in the car... does that count??
I have two childhood friends who also share a car with their husbands... one of them goes everywhere with her husband so much that she let her license expire and didn't renew it!!

@Tina
I don't think driving you to an interview is bad...but if the coworkers to be actually know that your spouse is there to me that just doesn't look good. (even though this guy got hired apparently..) -
We are together as often as possible. We haven't spent more than 24hours apart since the first day we met. That's just us.
He goes out with his friends once a week and they are on a bowling league. I don't do much aside from work and come home due to my schedule.
But, when have time off at the same time, we are ALWAYS spending it together.
