I am 65 my hubby 66...he retired 18 months ago. He has hobbies thank goodness, the Ramblers, Butterfly conservation, local conservation issues etc...and he does go out for walks so is not around the house each day. I have not worked, have been the "homely domestic " so to speak, and sadly have not hobbies and can't seem to get interested in anything. We have 3 dogs so I walk them twice a day..but my life seems so flat...I'd love to get involved with something to get me out as when hubby is home I find there is nothing to chat about...there's a limit as to how much he can tell me about his "doings"...or for me to tell him about my jaunt round Sainsburys. We've been married since 1970...and it feels oh so stale now. I wish he was back at work as he seems to have regressed dare I say it into such a pinnickity, slow person (not that he was ever a cannonball). I know I have my faults my health hasn't been good over the past few years and he has looked after me....oh how I wish I could find something to divert my mind away from the boredom. He is very set in his ways (I wonder sometimes how on earth he managed a company)...and I feel I have become like him....negative and a misery. I am wholly dependant on him financially . Oh I could go on....but hey ho that would be boring !! Help ! Is there anyone else out there who feels the same? I guess I am feeling old, and want to do stuff before it's too late. Any suggestions for something voluntary? I do befriend an old lady once a week for Ageconcern, but don't really want to do more of that. Feeling low .
