To ask about retirement with your loved one 🥰

I’ve just had a conversation with DH and now am a bit worried. I asked what he thought retirement would be like and he said he wants to ‘play with his wife’ he meant lots of jovial banter and tickling , games of scrabble, lunches out, mini breaks, walks in the countryside etc

Then he asked me what I thought and just mustered yeah sounds great. I was actually thinking he would get some hobbies and we’d have the odd outing together. I don’t think I can cope with him ‘in my pocket’ 😳

’Tickling’
How grim 🤢

What’s wrong with tickling? He’s always done things like tickle under my chin, stroke my upper arm, or gently tap when forehead when giving instruction - is that not normal?

Oh FFS, you can’t write the OP from the POV of a horse then drip feed that information on page 2.

Tickle you under the chin and tap you in the forehead when giving you an instruction?! Nope, that doesn’t sound normal and given the potential of that increasing I’d be looking forward to many more years of full time work.

Is this a joke?
