First off, thanks everyone for your replies and I’m not taking it person as feedback is what I really wanted.
I never planned on retiring in my late 40’s and it came as a surprise when I finally realized I was a workaholic and my marriage was falling apart. After retirement my life changed dramatically ………. for the better. I also know when I’m on my death bed, I’ll never regret that I didn’t work longer. If anything as much as I’ve increased the amount of time I spend with my family and friends by 1000 %, I still feel it’s not enough. Maybe since I’ve very handy, creative, have a great imagination and enjoy the company of others, I just can’t find the time to be bored.

You’re absolutely right, not everyone is identical, or has identical situations in his/her life. I also know I don’t have the right to judge which is why I never responded to those comments. Rather I came to this forum to get a better perspective.

I agree to a certain extent, "Work served as their identity and anchor in life”, it certainly was in my case until I was made to realized I was losing my family. Don’t get me wrong I liked my job which is why I didn’t have a problem being a workaholic. I was well respected and the money was great, it was just the workload and pressure I could have done without.

As for some people are simply wired to keep work, maybe so, but I sometimes wonder if that time could be better spent with a friend of loved one………….. or maybe that was just my case.

I agree that I should show compassion, although I’m not sure I can and I’m being totally honest.

I understood your analogy, thanks for sharing.

I believe you’re correct, we, or I have become intolerant of boredom, I don’t know why, maybe because I see so much potential out there regarding broken relationships that could be mended if only there were more time spent with each other, or better communication, etc . When I take my dog for a walk I see many homes like my neighbor who is 65, I don't understand, when he says he would be bored if he stopped working, yet he allows his house to be run down even though he’s very handy and his marriage is falling apart, yet they won't seperate or divorce since they say they're happy. I know, don’t judge.

I was also self-employed and while at work I also wished there were 30 hours in a day since I knew if a contract took 1000 hours to complete, the more hours in a day, the faster the job could be completed. Time went by fast while at work, as I enjoyed what I did.

Agreed, the sex did become much more frequent and longer lasting (better), no complaints for either one of us.

I wasn’t expecting everyone to share my POV, I am only trying to get a better understand by having others express their POV.
Again, thanks everyone as you’ve made me realize that yes, maybe I’m the one with the problem since I shouldn’t let it get to me. People’s lives are there business, and whether they’re trying to fool themselves, others, or just being honest, I as well as others don’t have the right to judge them.
