[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a SAHM like your wife.(SAHM seems like a misnomer though, given that her kids are pretty  much grown at this point.) She keeps trying to delay her husband's retirement, because she does not want him around.

It honestly disgusts me to hear her talk. It is SO clear that she sees him as a meal ticket. I cannot relate to such a relationship, and my heart goes out to men who realize this is all they are to their wives.

Women who miss having the house to yourself: get over it. Your partner has HAD to work for decades so you had a house to hang out in. He paid for the nice furnishings and the groceries you are shopping for.  How dare you resent him spending time there like you have for most of your adult life.

Men, if you see this in your future, get out now. Don't be a fool.[/quote]

I hear you and agree 100% (and I'm a woman). I can imagine the outrage if the gender roles were reversed and it was a fifty or sixty something SAHF with young adult kids complaining about his wife retiring. [/quote]
