Now that we have kids, we almost never hang out together with each other's friends... one of us stays has to stay home with the kids!

We do everything together. But I don't tag along to "just the guys" things and I do my own thing with friends occasionally.

@Danizaur: this. We love to spend the majority of our time together, but I don't intrude on his guy time or alone time, when he wants it.

It's very rare that we're together when with friends.

No, we love our time together but we also value our time as individuals. DH has a weekly poker night and goes out with the guys 1-2 times a month. I also try to go to dinner or for a drink with my girl friends 1-2 a month.

We spend a lot of time together but we also do our own thing.

We do our own thing. We have different friends anyway and our work obligations sometimes conflicts with us showing up as a couple.

We have the same group of friends so we generally do everything together. Sometimes the wives would plan something in one location so our husbands would hang out together at a different location, or vice versa, so we would split up til the end of the night. Occasionally (like very, verry rarely) we hang out with our own school friends individually, but for the most part we enjoy going to the same places together.

No, we each have our own lives outside of our life together. I would not want to lose my sense of individual identity. We've been together for almost twelve years, and I'd hate to feel like I didn't have an identity outside our marriage.

We're a tag team but most of our "group" are couples who all hang out together. It's rarely a guys only thing - but if it was I obviously wouldn't go!

We do almost everything together but there have been 1-2 guys nights scheduled with his friends and I won't go. I occasionally have a girls get together and he doesn't go to those either.

We're also in the "generally together" camp, but we have times where one of us will go off with our own friends, especially when we're in our respective hometowns for holidays or whatever. Our college friends are mutual friends, but we both still are fairly close with our separate high school friends. Sometimes when DH goes out with his high school friends (co-ed: there are guys and girls and some bring their SO's, some don't), I'll go, but a lot of times there's a lot of inside jokes and they just sit around playing videogames forever so I'll stay at my in-laws where it's quiet and relax. That's actually what I'm doing this evening--figured I'd give DH some friend-time and no obligation to come back home when I got tired (which is always a lot earlier than him).

We have a lot of mutual friends, so generally if we're out with friends we're together. Occasionally he'll make plans with one friend or another, or I'll do the same with one of my friends, and we'll be apart for a few hours or a day. We do spend probably 90% of our non-work hours in each other's company.
I imagine that will change when the baby comes.

Our friends live too spread apart for us to have regular girls' and guys' nights. Mostly we hang out with other families or couples. But DH does a lot of days solo with DD on the weekends, so I wouldn't say DH and I go everywhere together.

I would never be the wife that tagged along everywhere on what were obviously guys only events. Why would I want to be where no one else wants me around? She sounds a little bit socially inept.
