[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, OP is a troll.  No doubt about it.  But I’ll say this anyway:  you’re “retired” in name only if your spouse is still working full time.  The only difference is that instead of your schedule revolving around your work, it revolves around your spouse’s.  You’re still not free by any means. [/quote]

Why? I still work 45-50 hours a week, my spouse has been retired since 2021.  He makes dinner for the family and grocery shops but otherwise is completely free. Goes out of town, goes out with friends, etc. How is he not free?[/quote]

Would you be cool with him going south for six months a year without you?

He’s not completely free.  He’s tethered to you and your shackles.

He's free in all ways except that he's in a monogamous marriage.  Even if I were retired, I wouldn't agree to live somewhere else half the year. I've spent a lot of time building up my community in the DMV. He could and has gone to visit family for a month at a time, which is totally fine with me.[/quote]
