Oh goodness, yes to grumpiness Evie, yes to mansplaining absent, and I so agree with your point about lack of hobbies bradfordlass. I have too many hobbies, I really struggle to find time for them all, but DH seems to read a bit, play a few 'mind training' games on his ipad, and that's about it. He rattles around saying he's bored, but never has much interest in things I suggest nor comes up with ideas of his own. He does like to go out walking, we both do, but golly he hurries me along, which rather ruins it for me and I can't keep up and also like to take photos while we are out. I do wonder why we have to rush when he's only going to be bored when we get back lol. I also wonder wish he'd turn his hand to a spot of gardening or decorating to alleviate his boredom, since I struggle to do it all. I do love him to bits and wouldn't be without him. I do think mine is a bit depressed. I think the main thing though is he finds it all a bit more effort physically now and he really hates that. I do too, but I'd rather push on and suffer to do it than not do it, but I do know it feels rubbish when everything is harder.
