[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been sorta retired most of the year (took DRP 1) and will officially retire 12/31.  Honestly, I'm bored.  I did find a volunteer position but it's gotten caught up in licensing red tape, I've done some traveling and want to do more, I've taken care of some health issues and recommitted to the gym and of course have more than enough times to chat with friends/family.  My biggest issue is my spouse - who doesn't want to travel or do anything social and expects me to stay home and entertain them (they are already retired.)  It's a HUGE issue so if you're married my advice is to figure this out sooner rather than later.  [/quote]

I retired early and my spouse is also retired and we have completely different interests so we each just do our own thing—including traveling—and let the other do theirs.  In some ways we are leading parallel lives.  But without resentment.

You cannot allow a spouse to dictate how you should spend the last few decades of your life.  It’s YOUR life.  Not theirs.  [/quote]

Good point. People that have been married awhile should be able to trust each other enough to let them do this. [/quote]
