[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, some of you don't sound retired. I want to offer this advice for when your spouse retires. That is the time (if you haven't done it already) stop cooking for him, stop grocery shopping for him ... certainly hope you haven't been doing his laundry all this time but don't do that. DH and happy in retirement, happy together, enjoy each other but we live more like housemates like if we were in college. He has things he likes to eat, I eat something different. We each know what we -should- eat, to be our healthiest. But we don't police each other.[/quote] DWs parents are an example of what not to do. It's crazy that she will cook the dinner and he just sits there and doesn't help clean up. I feel bad for her so I clear the table and get all the dishes in the dishwasher. He does maintenance work around the house but none of the cleaning or laundry.[/quote] Is it ok with her, or has she given up out of acceptance?[/quote]
