Although I did not retire at a very early age - I was probably 60 - I can relate to so much in this article. In some respects I feel I am still adjusting. Both of us worked and thus had separate chunks of the day separate and apart from each other. Now, in retirement, we do everything together, 24/7, and sometimes it drives me crazy. The only major difference is that we watch different television shows. But having said that, DH is constantly coming into my room to tell me about Judge Judy's latest case, etc. Sometimes I grit my teeth because I want to scream: "if I were bleeping interested in Judge Judy, which I am not, I would have bleeping watched Judge Judy." But I don't. I just smile and feign interest. LOL
