Hopes
Many of my slightly older friends have recently had their husbands retire or are facing it in the near future and I have heard all the same things from them and more. They all love their husbands but it is a difficult adjustment when you have had the same routine for years.
Perhaps you should start a local support groups for others in your current situation.
