Our friends are always planning a dinner or outing on weekends for me and my wife. We have 3 married couples we are good friends with they all start calling Thursday night. Somtimes my wife and I just want to have no plans and be left alone on a weekend or go on a short trip together with out having to report in on everything we do. They feel bad when we tell them we dont want to do anything with them.

Let your friends know that they are important to you but some weekends you may want to spend time with just your wife or husband.Let them know that you like going out with them but sometimes you feel like you need your space alone with the one you love.If they don't understand what you mean then they need to get a life of there own as a couple and stop depending on you every single weekend.

I think that being honest is the best thing. Just tell them that's it's been some time since you two got to spend some alone time and you'd like to be alone. Let them know how much you value their friendship and it's nothing personal against them. Every couple needs some time to spend alone together.

I used to go through that with my bf's family and after a while I had to just be honest, I told them that we wanted down time every once in a while. They were angry for a bit but I think they are over it. My advice, just be honest.

hmm i would try setting one or two weekedns aside for them and a few for yourselves. also i would just tell them i am sorry nothing against you but we have plans to stay at home for a movie or something to that nature. If they dont understand then it shows that they are not true friends.

Hey!, we don't want to hurt you guys, but we like to be by ourselves sometimes. I'm sure we all will benefit as couples by doing this exercise. Thank you for your kind co-operation

Simply say you already have plans and it is private. If they get pushy, say things are not well between you two and you need this time together, just by yourselves.
