Husband is ruining his health... and mine!
by Barb
(Florida)
Husband was forceably retired 2.5 years ago after 42 years with the same company. He is sitting around and gaining weight. He is now prediabetic and takes medication for anxiety.
Even when we went to Florida for a couple of months, he still was lethargic, and mean. I am tired of this. If he wants to eat himself to death, then so be it.
I am not doing well...I seem to have become my retired husband's kicking boy. He is verbally abusive, and lords finances over me whenever we have a disagreement. I quit working to be with him, but am rethinking that decision. He has no friends, no hobbies (except berating me), and an attitude of entitlement. I am 58 and cry a lot. SOS
I am going to find a job so I don't have to watch him self-destruct.
