Retirement

[Lillibet]

My partner's anxiety and moodiness has increased since retirement after his career involving being away from home a lot. I have helped him over the years with his anxieties. I think they were/are a result of his difficult and neglected upbringing. I have had to learn to be very independent. Now, with retirement, his moodiness has increased even though he keeps reasonably active. It is really difficult. Any other retirees out there with similar problems?

Lillibet welcome to BB. Try to in courage him to find part time work, voluntary work, The men's shed. play golf my farther had the same problem with life/ mum. He just needed an activity. Mum had her way of doing things and didn't need that much help. They had forfilled there part of the marriage vows Love, Honer, sickness and in health. Where is we have to do lunch seven days a week. He needs to fill in his day, As I said part time work volunteering there are bound to be places where his skills are still needed. teaching even.
