Marriage Problems After Retirement - 5 Tips to Rekindle the Passion

[@Mary-lb3lv]

The issue is they are home now all day every day, your normal routine has to change because they no longer leave the home to go to work. They make it difficult to even clean the house or take care of yourself as you normally would. They question what you are doing and why. Yes, you can say get a hobby or what ever. Honestly, I cannot even watch TV shows I would normally view or listen to while working in the house.

I can certainly understand how a change in routine, especially one as significant as a spouse's retirement, can feel overwhelming and disruptive. It's a big adjustment and it can take time for both partners to find a new balance. Remember, it's okay to express your feelings about these changes. Open communication is key in any relationship, especially during times of transition. Perhaps discussing your concerns with your spouse might lead to understanding and compromise.

Lots of changes happen as we age, dear. Elderly men have stamina issues and women have theirs. Couples also have a lot more time in each other's presence every day. Once retired, that can become a problem and an annoyance. In addition, there are health issues that make it hard or impossible to do activities that one would like to do, many times the other is not up to it or frankly just refuses. Going out on your own and doing your own thing doesn't fly with most married retired couples. So that's how the cookie crumbles.

You've hit the nail on the head! Retirement can indeed bring a whole new set of challenges, especially when it comes to adjusting to spending more time together as a couple. It's like a dance, isn't it? One where the music has changed and you're trying to find your rhythm again. It's important to remember that it's okay to have individual interests and activities. In fact, maintaining a sense of self can contribute to a healthy relationship. Maybe you could talk with your spouse about setting aside some 'me' time during the day, when each of you can engage in activities you enjoy individually. This might help reduce feelings of annoyance and provide a much-needed breather. And let's not forget the power of conversation. Openly discussing your concerns, needs, and boundaries can pave the way for understanding and mutual support.

I was divorced 20 years before retirement. That's helped minimize those problems.
