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!

@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!

@KingstonsMom @CrazyKittyLvr2 @haddon9 People always give me “the poor dear”, and how “do you cope” when they find out I’m on my own. Sure, some things are very hard at times, but I wouldn’t want to be living with anyone but my cat at this stage of my life. Peace, quiet and no conflict, just an adoring cat who thinks I hung the moon

If both people are happy, that's one thing.

"Smother Love" isn't healthy.

Speaking for myself...learned long ago I'm not relationship material. Goodness knows had my fair share of opportunities. At this point in life unimaginable living with someone. Thankfully, Not even on the table for discussion.

The only other I could spend 24 hours a day, every day, with is my dog...and she prefers that arrangement, too.

'At first thought' I thought that maybe the husbands (or S/O) prefer to be left alone away from their D wives (or S/O), more often than not.

'Then', I thought .........Well, maybe it's the other way around.

Or 'both'.

Just thinking out loud........

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

I do but I can only speak for myself. I do know of 2 couples; one retired and one not. Long time marrieds, one 50 years and the other 40 years. Excluding work, they spend 100% of their time together. You never see one without the other. They do everything together but it's not for me to say that it is "too much togetherness". Only they can make that determination. I love my husband with all my heart, he's my everything but we each have our own lives. Different interests, different friends. We spend time together but we also go off and do our own thing.

I’m a homebody. I can always find something to do or just laze around. Read, tv, cats,etc.

On the other hand, my husband is always busy. Doing something around the house, helping his friends doing something around their homes, going to his clubs, running errands.

We see each other for dinner and at night. Works for both of us.

A two level home is perfect.
