Retirement sucks! It's not just trying to get to the point where you have enough money, but it is the thought that you can be with someone 24-7.
On the weekends I have been watching my husband sit and watch tv for hours. So I get boared and fall asleep. When I wake up he is gone for a walk. What is that? Could have woke me up and asked me if I wanted to go, maybe! I have gotten to the point I like Mario a lot better, playing that entertains me more. So I woke up played Mario for a couple of hours then went for a walk myself. Thank God my daughter invited us for dinner.
He has always left activities up to me and now I am just tired of doing it. It would be nice if he would make the decision and invite me.
I really don't know if doing this on a daily basis is gonna work or not. I am scared that nothing will change and I will have to look at him as a fixture on the wall.
He has a year left of work and then what? It is time to have a sit down and see what we can come up with.
Really, What's Next?

But do take some time to think about what you want. Day after day of sitting on the couch watching tv doesn't appeal to you, so what does? The world is your oyster.

It's not just men who can be like that. Sometimes my husband comes to me all up in arms about something he wishes I did, and I'm like "Don't take that tone the first time you tell me something. How was I supposed to know if you haven't told me before?" (He's gotten better about how he approaches me, because I've made it abundantly clear how I feel about that. )
