“I swear officer my husband came home form the office, slipped on the freshly waxed kitchen floor and BAM, fell right down the basement steps, and landed on that chainsaw I was repairing.”
“Honest that’s EXACTLY how it happened.”
I know a couple of retirees who had to go back to work after rearranging the kitchen cupboards “rationally”…
And one who went back to building houses after the wife got to feeling better from her arthritis and started a quilting club; he was driven out by the constant chatter…
That man who is happily retired just got home but he has to find part time job to earn more cents than his retirement pension that will not enough for his cost of living tho’.
Right sensrule92: the result will be somewhere between a rancourous divorce (in her favour where she’ll get house, car, moneys,…and he gets diddly-squat) and his pushing-up weeds.

Hey, this IS my husband!!! The one who now finally has the time to teach me after 42 years, to cook, wash dishes, clean thehouse, train my 12 year old perfectly behaved dog, and follow me around the kitchen, correcting every thing I do, like turning off the stove before I am finished, turning off the tap for me, before I’m finished. Rtirement has made him an expert in nutrition, cooking, gardening. Without ever openign a book! He just watches tv!

He should have kept his retirement secret and gone golfing every day.

I agree with the folks who think a to-do list for him is in order. Good luck, openminded!
