Great thread- as for me and my now XDP i can say that my life changed 100% having DS.
This is speaking when i was still with my DP.
He used to go out drinking clubbing with his mates, go to surf comps, go to all you can eat buffets with his mates constantly, i would only see my DP monday - friday mornings because all the other times he was out having "boys" times getting ****ed spending OUR money shouting his mates out on the town!!!

since having DS and before we split i think we did 1 thing alone and that was our anniversary we went to the beach had a picnic etc and FELL PREGNANT with #2 mind you!
although i do have a positive note not having XDP around all the time really helped me ease into being a single mummy!
