Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Not just YOUR wife, but this seems to be a common situation among the retired couples that we know.
In our case we have found that we love living next door to each other and having our own separate space. We can spend plenty of time alone or with other friends, and only spend time together when both of us want to do that.
I think the amount of time spent together in retirement is something that couples sometimes need to think about and work out as part of adjusting to retirement, unless one of them wants to go back to work.
From your posts, it seems you guys have a perfect arrangement. We all have to work at it, otherwise it doesn't work!
