To ask that if you and your dh would get sick of each other if neither of you worked?

[ExtraPineappleExtraHam]

Not a personal reason for asking this but I've got two examples.
The couple who live next door both don't work. He is on longtime disability and she is a career for their ds who has autism. No judgement on their not working please. Their lives look pretty hard from an outside p.o.v, very little money. I don't see them go anywhere apart from to school and the local shop. I imagine the autism might make certain places unbearable for them so maybe that's a factor too. I think I would get so bored of my dp if I was stuck in a house with him 24/7 but I never hear them argue and she looks happy enough.
The other extreme is my friend's friends have won the euromillions. They were both able to quit their jobs and as they're in their twenties I imagine that their lives are pretty amazing, as you still have quite a big social circle at that age. The one thing that struck me was my friend saying that they had to make a conscious decision to not drink every night as they slipped into drinking two bottles of wine as they didn't have jobs to wake up for. Does this seem like a symptom of unhappiness/ boredom to you? I don't think the only thing that stops me from being an alcoholic is work and money!
I openly admit I enjoy only spending a few hours with dp every night. Even weekends can seem too much. I couldn't cope if we were together all day every day unless we had enough money to have lots of hobbies and holidays!

My friend works in the same office as her husband ( they didn’t meet there, met through work as were in similar industry, she then applied for a job at his office). They commute to and from work together, often have lunch together and take the same holidays.
It works for them, they are a lovely couple and never seem to bicker or argue. I just couldn’t live like that.

DP took voluntary redundancy last year and has no financial need to go back to work, so I suppose he's semi-retired. I work 3 days a week. I was worried at first that we would get sick of each other, but actually it's lovely having him around during the day when the children are at school. We get to do adult stuff together when we actually have the energy to enjoy it, so it feels like a return to our pre-children days, but with all the good stuff about having children around, too.

My DP and I work together - at home! We’re together 24/7 and luckily are best friends!

I'm a sahm to school aged dc who have disabilities and dh works from home. We met when we were students so we are used to being together most of the time. I love spending lots of time with dh but I do wish we could afford to do more interesting things.

Oh I would LOVE it

We never get enough time together

Dp and I will be fine. We spend a lot of time on separate hobbies so we are in different rooms of the house a lot of the time. If we had a house with just one living area we might struggle though.

We have everyday activities that we really enjoy doing together - cooking and eating and going for walks.

we are with each other 24 hours most days and the kids who are nearly 9 and nearly 15
been this way for years as oldest came out of school at 11,youngest 6 but we have been official carers since 2009 (from birth really which was 2004)

we are both 24 hour carers(boys dont sleep so still need care all night) to 2 severely disabled children who have numerous diagnosises each who we home educate(by choice but there are no schools for them to go as here dont do special schools)

i get 0 free time to myself,even in the bath im called for something

we do everything together as a family of 4 but we do have regular caravan holidays(every 4-6 weeks)and lots of day trips and activities so not a home all day(nights are long though)

after being together 20 years i think he if was to get on my nerves it would have happened by now

This is our dream! To both be able to give up work/retire and doss around getting on each other's nerves 😂

Do stuff together, do stuff individually, tour around endlessly in the camper.
