[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 826674, member: 60724"] Fast Eddie, Keep your chin up. I've heard this story a lot for men married to younger women. Many of the gals don't like to work when their husbands retire or semi-retire. That seems petty to me, as if the gals only looked at their husband for a paycheck. My wife has gone back to school to become a teacher. She finishes her degreen in May '10. She will be gainfully employed soon, I hope. When that day comes she will be planting the seed that will provide me (now 42) to one day retire, possibly well before I am 67. She has been mostly out of the workplace for the past 15 years. I have been doing the "heavy lifting" as the breadwinner since we got married 19 years ago. It will be nice to share the load. As she is back and school AND now working part-time, I have been doing the house work, including laundry, cleaning and meal prep, and doing soccer mom stuff with the kids. It's great as I work out of the home. If married couples each keep a "score card" of who does more, or have this strict idea of "who does what" then it is likely in this day and age they are hurting themselves and their marriage. It's simply not healthy to view a marriage in those terms anymore, in today's very different world. TJR [/QUOTE]
