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!

@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

And there's nothing wrong with that, girlfriend!

I was a divorced Mom for over 13 years, before I remarried.

I’m an introvert and need my alone time, my nearest and dearest understand.

@QVCkitty1 Mine don’t understand, and I no longer care whether they do or not.

My DH is a retired engineer and does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING all day....watches car races on TV....sleeps.....that's about it!😄

After almost losing DH to a stroke, I cherish every minute together and they are never enough and never too much.

Well, my husband who has Alzheimer’s wants to stay close to home, the familiar environment. I am OK with that because he thinks he’s fine and does not recognize the behaviors that led to his diagnosis. We have a beagle, almost 9, who is the love of our lives. Having had three other beagles before, we know that our hearts will be broken. However, life right now is fine. We spend our time together, except for our workouts at the Y each weekday. We return to our beagle Maddie each day and love taking care of her. Nevertheless, I know it is all temporary, between my husband’s diagnosis and the lifespan of dogs. I have finally learned to enjoy one day at a time.

Be careful what you wish for.  One day the house always will be peaceful.

My dh and I can't have too much togetherness! We are both retired and do everything together. We are best friends for the past 44 years. We are very affectionate and have been asked if we are newlyweds! Lol! We've been asked that a few times in the past years. We have always said that no one has the love that we share. We are madly in love and love being together=happiness.
