Husband, old before his time!!

Same here Ali08.
I actually enjoy being on my own when he pops tohis local on a Friday night.

Has he actually changed?
Some men are not as sociable as their wives, and perhaps in their younger years make more of an effort while secretly wishing they were at home with the TV or a good book! If he works from home he is possibly also missing out on the social networks office life offers.

We are in our late 70s and prefer classical music to Glastonbury. Even in the 1960s, pop music was something you listened to on the radio.

Anyway, last night DH was 30 miles away as Music Director for an Opera group he belongs to, still works, and until 2 years regularly travelled round Europe on business.

At home, he is pottering round the house all the time, doing small DIY jobs, he has had to reduce his imput since his heart attack. We enjoy sight seeing holidays and regularly travelling abroad.

I think the OP is unfortunate in her DH's behaviour. Is he depressed?

Tets68 - mine too. Yes, he sat and watched Macca at Glastonbury last night, but otherwise, he'd rarely go out or go on holiday without some persuasion, he's not keen on visitors, and he's generally happy watching TV, doing crosswords and having naps!! I find it very frustrating, to the point that I told him that as we could live another 20 or 30 years, that's a long time hanging around the house, just twiddling your thumbs waiting for the inevitable! Life's too short! So I now even go on holiday alone sometimes, because even if I persuade him to come with me, which he does sometimes, he invariably wants to sit around at the cottage a lot of the time, and I'm a person who likes to explore and be amongst nature. I love him to bits, but I do sometimes think he's old before his time!

It's the opposite in my household. He's the sociable one, while I'm happy indoors!

Mine is 76. We'll be watching recorded Glastonbury (Macca) when we get back from the pub!

You say he runs.

No, thankfully! We're watching Glastonbury too , we refuse to be old before our time!

Mine was never very sociable at the best of times (except for his car club and his shooting clubs. All things that were mind numbingly boring) As he got older he stopped going out all together if he wasn't at work and I used to either go out with friends or my daughter.

Didn't happen to this one!

Can't comment. Dh is currently watching High Flying Birds from Glastonbury and exchanging comments with DGS3 On WhTsapp!
