My spouse and I are together all the time since I retired. There are times he is in his man-cave on the computer or out in the garage.
Since the weather has been nice we have started our walking/hiking, been twice this year. We tend to chatter a lot on our walks. At home I like to go out on the patio and listen to music on my phone and dose, he watches tv.
We run errands, go to bed at the same time, etc. He gets up before me and lets me sleep and does a few chores.
My older brother says "after 40 years there is nothing left to talk about".
Been married 40 years and yes still plenty to talk about there is a new adventure as we move into a new state, our new roles as grandparents, books we are reading, current events, new hobbies, cooking together. We walk a lot and talk. We are together a lot but we also have our own space to do things, spend time with friends. Maybe we will get tired of each other but until Then we are going to have as much fun as possible and care about each other.

We talk a LOT!
The woman that got us together all those years ago lives in Hurst.
I don't know - maybe being in the workforce kept them apart and they wanted to be attached at the hip.
I'm the opposite - I love to see couples doing things together.
I have relatives that don't even know where their husbands are for days. Are glad to say that they can finally be alone for a couple of days. It is just sad.
From their perspective, besides politics , if they do everything together, what do they have to talk about? They both know exactly how each other spent their entire day, firsthand.
And speaking from the outside, if I want to do something with a long-time friend or talk with a friend it annoys the h**l out of me when they drag the husband with them. They didn't do it when they were younger or when we were both in the workforce. Why now? I'm sorry if he has nothing to do except hang around with a bunch of women but don't foist him on me. I didn't marry him and he's not my friend. By the way, I never see the reverse. I never see a retired husband who drags his wife with him to meet ups with his friends. Tell me you have ever seen a group of, let's say, 4 guys and one who has a wife tag along.

.
Well my husband isn't in my head and know every thought or idea I'm coming up with for my art, in my studio or hanging out with my friends. Sheesh do people not think outside the box and think a couple can't be best friends and have fun together. We laugh, we joke around we explore . As for the idea a spouse can't surprise the other even after 40 years hah! I sure as heck surprised my husband the other day.

Big no-no. I would never do that unless there was no option. A friend of ours went to GNO with my wife and some others. She had eye surgery and couldn't drive so he had to. Being as cool as they always were he went to a different part of the restaurant and ate there.
