Sounds like mine.

hahahaha...you girls crack me up....

and you are right about about the other part too...my biggest worry I guess is that I'M going to become his hobby....perish that thought!!

Ever since I married DH, we've had an empty nest, as his kids were grown and gone already.

Thankfully, we both have way too many interests so we both stay busy. We really earn out early-to-bed habit!

He golfs, welds, builds stuff, creates websites and webmasters.

I read, do crosswords, cook, bake, belong to local home extension clubs at local and county levels.

We both play Cribbage, watch movies, visit his kids, garden,do home improvements, love on our five dogs, make soap, shop at Lowes (LOL!!)He tells everyone he has become a professional Lowes shopper and has a GREAT eye for their yellow clearance tags!!!!

May I make a suggestion? If you had children, what kinds of things did you do before that?

I hear you Di...and I know what you are saying...the thing is..my husband and I have plenty of common interests and have a pretty active social life together...and I , on my own, have girlfriends and volunteer work, and love to garden, cook, read, sew etc etc..the problem is that when my husband is not working or with me doing something that I have planned he is clueless as to how to pass the time...last year he was home for 3 weeks with a slight back injury...one day during the second week I made him a nice breakfast and set him up with the newspapers and headed out to have my nails done and grab a quick lunch with my girlfriend...the man called me 13 times in the space of 2 hours and 15 minutes...don't get me wrong here...I am crazy about this man...but I don't want to become his siamese twin after he retires...I like to do separate girl things...and I am just dying for him to find some boy things to do...I have a few years to play with before this happens...so hopefully he'll mellow out a little and learn to chill out.. Thanks for letting me vent here

Blondi, if he only relaxes when he travels, I guess you'll have to travel all the time when he retires. Not so bad...

Hahahaha....we'll have to win the lottery first.... Also...I gained 4 lbs last week while we were in Aruba!!!! I'd look like the broad side of a barn if we did that all the time.. Nice fantasy though Dots...thanks for the suggestion!!!

Ever notice how the women with frisky husbands wish they weren't and those who husbands all but dead frisky wise, wish they were frisky. Then there are the porno kings....seems no one is ever really content, and thats life!!!

Life is so unbalanced!!

Bluebird, I am forever telling my kids that life is all about balance.

Balance is a big thing for me. I don't understand why everyone doesn't strive for it.
