[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sort of empty nesters here, as our ACs live with us and work. I don't work. We are in our 50s.  DH comes home and we are out for a drive, a movie, dinner with friend etc.

DH and I are each other best friends. He is a better human being than me and more easy going.  I make him laugh. We are very physical family. We go around hugging each other. [/quote]

Perhaps part of this is that you don’t work?[/quote]

Yes. Without a doubt.  I think a large part of it is - I don't work, kids are grown and we are not caring for a pet, elderly relative etc.   When I worked and when kids were little, evenings were spent together getting prepped for the next next or attending to kids or cooking or other chores.  DH and I were still working together and there was joy in that too because our kids were so cute, but we did not have the luxury to take off and do what we wanted to do.

DH was always supportive and equal partner with chores and childcare, but he liked that when I started staying home, both of us had a lot of leisure time and our family had a better quality of life.   We have more energy & time  and we have less responsibilities.  + we like each other. Life is good and we feel lucky that we have each other. [/quote]
