[quote=Anonymous]We are decades away from retiring, but my parents and in laws went thru major transitions when they retired. In both couples, both sides were getting on each others nerves being home together 24/7 after having been out of the house and busy. The solution was for everyone to find hobbies and adjust their schedules and expectations. My mom actually went back to work part time doing something she enjoys, and my dad got very involved in a volunteer organization that keeps him busy a couple evenings a week. They also moved to a bigger house in the same area - they had downsized to a two bedroom condo, but they were constantly on top of each other, only one living area/TV.  So they got a 4 bedroom house with a finished basement living area, so my mom can read and do her puzzles in quiet while dad watches sports.

My MIL and FIL are dirt co-dependent and I swear most of their time is devoted to making and going to doctors appointments together, even though neither has serious health issues. MIL takes a senior class twice a week and FIL basically watches TV all day and goes goes to the grocery store. [/quote]
