I am retired and stay at home, husband is semi-retired but works 4 days a week to have something to do and for the insurance. I get lots of me time and he gets more people time - win/win. He's thinking of going to 3 days a week in August and I'm sure we will work that out as well. Maybe we will add an exercise class or walk on the beach, luckily there are lots of things we like to do together as well as things we prefer to do on our own.

Drove an hour each day to and from work.

We have one TV. We are retired in a one bedroom house. Mr Lake hasn’t been left alone in decades.

some movie mogul and Anderson Cooper's mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, I think. His name was Barry but the rest of the name isn't coming to me.

Lotsa' space in this relationship, which I knew when I met my world traveler spouse. He's not happy unless he's running around the globe. He manages to do this and call it business so he can get other people to pay for it. Works for me.

There is one problem, however. He comes home and is amazed when the house doesn't look like a Marriott suite.
