[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are not factoring what stress does to you. He is going to start to see coworkers around his age start to get heart attacks and some might die in their 50's. [/quote]

I understand.  Believe me I am trying to reduce his stress! I make him get an executive physical once a year, and he likes to golf, and work out, thankfully.  He's not a big drinker and he eats very healthfully.   I'm just saying that the "get a job to relieve him of his work stress" is not the right equation for us, and in our situation would add more stress.   He could honestly quite tomorrow and we would be fine if we were careful and changed our lifestyle a lot.   So that's not really the issue.    I agree there could be some depression (low grade) and perhaps some mid life stuff going on.   Seems common and we are communicating better about it.  I think posting made me realize I need to talk to him more "head on" and we can only keep the communication lines open.   Listen, I grew up with a mom who scrubbed floors for other people when things were tough, I am no prima donna and I would certainly work if that was the answer to this.  [/quote]
