I do drive . I go to garden centres, gym etc. He's critical if i drive with him I the car so I don't.

I would be tempted to keep him awake so that he could sleep better at night.
Don’t you drive Nana56? If not why not take lessons?

Oh dear Septimia, your DH sounds like me!!

My DH falls asleep almost any time he sits down! He also picks programmes he wants to see then sleeps through most of them. What's more, he complains about how badly he sleeps at night.

But in other respects he's pretty obliging even if not the most sociable (neither am I!).

Does anyone have a husband that sleeps a lot in the evening.
He is 68 years young. He's living,kind and generous and I feel awful being irritated.
Every evening falls asleep usually after insisting on watching some awful TV programmes.
Also, if I suggest having family get together says ' I'm not a restaurant '

I know deep down he loves his family but he says he can do it from a distance!!
I know he's protecting me from doing too much, but I love having the family together.
Yesterday , my sister, who has multiple health issues asked for a lift back from hospital. I asked husband if he might be available and he said ' let her get a taxi"
I know I can be too much of a pleaser but this attitude is soooo annoying.

Rant over, thanks for reading
