    We don't have kids and are saving up for the one on the way so we don't go out much :o He works though, about 45 hours a week.

    See for me, in the mornings we are both asleep until we have to get up for work - and my DH leaves before me at around 6am. So we dont see each other then. Then in the evenings where we are back from work, he gets in any time between 7-10 depending on the day. I get home earlier, make dinner etc. Then we go to bed around 11ish. So we physically couldnt fit in 2-3 times in that space even if we wanted to!

    Thats what I dont understand. Where do people literally find the time?

    I'd say 7 times a week on average. They'll be some days where we don't and generally weekends where we're not doing much it could be 2/3 times a day.

    I honestly couldn't be in a relationship where it was any less than twice a week without a good reason, I'd be far too frustrated.

    On a weekend where I am not doing much in terms of going out, I still have to do weekly shop, clean some of the house, other odd jobs like that, sometimes need to go to the post office/bank etc. How can you just spend all day lying around in bed! How do you get anything done? And that would be on a day where I had nothing on, most weekends I have something planned whether its going out somewhere in the day or evening.

    I feel like some people have days that are far longer than mine! :rotfl:
  • WE only manage once a week at most right now. Not really sure why, I know I have a higher sex drive than her but worry that she's just not interested in sex at all really and only does it to please me.:(

    Well, everyone's situations are different. OH and I both leave the house around 8am, usually together, and tend to get in around the same time (between 6.15 and 7 - unless it's a particularly long work day).

    So, we have quite a lot of time, and we don't go out much as we are saving the pennies.

    I would like it twice a week really but I have a boyfriend who (and most people can't believe it) has zero drive. What I actually get is more like once a month and that will be because I have outright asked for it.

    It's not perfect but I am trying to learn to live with the fact that we are all different!

    Very happily married on 10th April 2013 :D

    DH and I are apart Monday morning till friday evening usually (in fact, we just found out he's going away for longer, probably about three months, so that'll be more difficult but...)

    We have friday evenings....he comes home anytime between the occasionally early 4-5pm and the more normal 8pm or 11-midnight occasionally (which also means a long drive to another train station, so we get in at about one) I get up very early because we have animals (chickens/horses etc) and his Monday train is at seven. Even before the monday train and doing animals we have time on Monday morning....but because we make the time. Weekend days are filled with both chores and big tasks, but we don't have children, so there is nothing to say we can't take a break ''on the job''. There are weekend mornings and evenings, and sometimes we just take a whole darn morning or afternoon off. We still get stuff done...a lot of stuff.

    What we find suffersd is a social life!

    Partner goes off to work between 10:30 and 11am most mornings. She's generally home about 10-11 hours later, except for one day per work-week when she only works a half day, and she always has weekends free.

    I work from home and on average only work about 4-6 hours per day and so there's plenty of time for me to do the laundry, take the dogs for a walk and any other things I need to do in and out of the house.

    My partner calls me just as she's leaving work to let me know whether (and what) to cook for dinner, or whether she's going to pick something up on the way. This means that I can have dinner ready for when she walks through the door if needs be.

    We go to sleep between 2am and 3am most nights unless I've been lumbered with working at night but that's rare, so in general, we usually have about three to four hours together before we go to sleep and activites during this time can vary.

    Weekly shop is done online and delivered on a Weds afternoon.

    Housekeeper deals with cleaning.

    Dishwasher for the dishes.

    This leaves weekends generally free, except for mum coming over for Sunday dinner, so depending on whether we have anything planned on a Saturday, there's usually ample time to frolic. :D

    My partner has to be very tired from work not to want to make love at night. She finds it very important in helping her unwind from work, and conveniently for me, is always the one to let me know when she's in the mood. :)
