How often does your SO let you out of your cage?

[sparkchaser]

I was chatting with a friend and this topic came up and I became curious.

How often does your spouse/significant other let you out of your cage? I mean to go out and do what you want, hang out with friends, etc.

Vote and discuss.

If that's not clear, let me know and I will reword.

Thanks for adding the extra explanatory line!

I'm good at killing two birds with one stone...the lady who tutors my youngest two boys is also one of my dearest friends and a crochet buddy. I get a lot of good social time with her during the time my boys are with her and her daughters(daughters help with the tutoring). We also get together with her family and another family sometimes on Sunday evenings. My dh is not always willing to go, so he sends me and whoever else wants to go by ourselves. Getting together with my friends just to hang out is hard, everyone has full schedules too. It isn't a matter of being 'allowed out' it's more a matter of finding/making the time and just going. The other way is like the situation that arose this past Saturday. One of my daughters went to an overnighter at a friend's house...well, that girl's mom happens to be another of my bestest friends....so I asked Mr. Abc to go with me..but he turned me down. So I told him I'd be back....eventually. He was fine with that. Oh, and trips to the library? Make friends with your librarians, and you have some 'friend time' built in there as well!

See? That's what I'm talkin' about.

I have no significant other.

 

[Landslide]

Neither do I.

 

[Anamnesis]

I don't have an SO either. Currently I feel like I don't need one.

 

[sparkchaser]

Neither do I.

 

[Polly Parrot]

But you do.

No more SO. But I had one for a long time and pretty much did whatever, whenever. Hey...... maybe that's why I don't have one anymore..... never thought about that......... :whistling:

What Polly said.

 

[triggrhaapi]

Not surprisingly, the no significant other option is popular.

 

[Polly Parrot]

I think Sparkchaser went for his own option.

Mr. mmyap and I have been married for 28 years this month. Both of us have things we like to do that doesn't involve the other and that's just fine with both of us. We've never done the "must be attached at the hip" thing. Of course, neither of us is out clubbing and doing that sort of thing. Mostly it's Mr. mmyap going dirt biking or road biking with friends and I'm hanging out with my doggy activity friends, well, doing doggy stuff.

I don't think Sparkchaser has an SO anymore or he won't for very long. :blink:

 

[sparkchaser]

I think Sparkchaser went for his own option.

Aye.

I am the only one that voted for me. :sad:

I am curious as to who it is who needs to be let out of their cage at the whim of their OH in order to be free for a while...

Different strokes for different folks.
