My Retirement Story

by Nancy
(Malaysia)

My husband retired 15years ago. Just when he retired for the passed one week he was very relived and happy as days goes by he just don't know what to do, no hobbies, no grand children, watching TV most of the time as I was working.

We start to have misunderstanding and argue for the smallest thing. As years goes by he take up trekking and mountain climbing and met some friends.

At times when he was bored when I'm back from work he will find fault to say things to hurt me. I decided to retired early and move down to another state to be near to our daughter. But that also at times we still have misunderstanding more to money matters.

I have been saving whatever my children give me and will not simply spend and he will check on me. I am feeling very lonely and don't have any social life, where he goes out i have to go along and we have only one car and most of the time he will be using. He is so culculative even we travel to other countries we have to take bus or walk for kilometers to the places.

Life is so boring and sad.
