Early retirement hubby and I hate it

[Formbyshopping]

My late fifty year old hubby has now taken early (too early) retirement this month, and I feel well.. awful
I know that most people would consider me lucky , we have a large mortgage free house and a good income, I work part time , but for fun not money so all things are on the face of it great.
My DH has now decided that he will be golfing ( a lot more ..) Im feeling so lonely and sad even though I have lovely friends ect I feel like my role is very different now and I well hate it, early days yetI know , but Im dreading the endless ‘pottering’ and awaiting Grandkids
i just want for our old life to continue for a while longer

Poor man. Only valued for his work chat. 🤣

OP maybe you could get another job and widen your own interests so you have other people to talk to as well as "hubby"

Do you have lots of friends?

I retired at 58. I’m now 63 and have never been happier or felt better. DH is 11 years older than me and partially retired at 65, but as an academic he is still doing advisory work,writing books and articles. I have no problem whatsoever filling my time, working on a couple of projects for myself and a couple of renovations on the house. I still have all my social skills, I’ve travelled more and further in these past five years than I had previously done in my whole life and there is more of that to come, my life has not narrowed at all, quite the opposite. Retirement is whatever you choose to make of it.

What rubbish. Retired at 58 and much, much more physically active than I was sitting at a desk all day, learning new skills, loving volunteering and not stressed out of my skin with work pressures.
No trouble whatsoever " finding things to do" Frankly people who say this are usually boring and unimaginative .

Going by the title, I thought this was about the early-retiring husband having no hobbies and getting under the OP's feet all day...

...But he wants to play golf. Lots of it

Fantastic, thank you for sharing
