Yes! I will often see some retired couples who do almost everything together and to save money go down to one car and downsize their home. As a result they are together most of the time which to me is just too much!

Next week I'm going to visit my mother in Florida for 10 days. DH will stay at home but I will be happy to see him again when I return!

LOL! I don't even have to ask!

I retired before hubby and once he retired, OMG!

He's an engineer, so I encouraged him to find a hobby that related to his field, since that's his primary interest.

I already had my daily routine before he retired and now I have it back!

ETA: If I'm wrong about what your post meant, I'll feel like a total IDIOT, LOL!

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

@KingstonsMom I'm not sure what Retired meant by the OP so I feel a bit silly however my DH is a retired engineer too....always with the projects around the house which drives me crazy! Everything takes forever too because it has to be just so!

The only ones I can never get enough togetherness with are my dog and cat.

Yes. It"s nice to be together of course,but it's nice to have time away.That way I think you appreciate each other more.

Funny. As the single friend among my married girlfriends I'll ask if they want to get a weekend lunch, etc?

Their response is often "oh, no! I have to stay home and watch him watch football. Just in case he might NEED me"

In the background, you can hear DH " is that Snowpuppy on the phone? Go ahead and go! Take your time"! 😉

definitely TRUE.

...and one of the advantages of a long distance relationship!
