More question about old marriage couple
not sure why you think that….they all seem like timeless questions relevant to any couple. Even Q 17 could have a short timeframe.
I can’t compete with his computer. He’s almost 80 & spends 10 to 12 hours a day in front of his screen. His dog of 11 years is my best friend, companion & confidant. He is totally disengaged in our home life, we have no social life together. Mentally he is sharp, socially..no outside interests at all. I’m active, play golf, socialize with the neighbors, stay on top with the news, do 100% of the driving, do 90% of the cooking, all the housework, but I don’t do the mowing of our yard any more. So we pay to have it done. Oh! And I provide 75 % of the income. He is very smart & can be personable when necessary. I’ve run out of ways to engage his participation in this marriage. He he more intelligent than me? yes, but….I’m smarter in many ways that I didn’t learn in a book. I long to be a widow. But, I’m afraid he will be a widower first.
Have you told him what you have shared with us? Does he realise how his excessive screen time makes you feel? Can you gently confront him with what he has become? Can you ask him out on a date of something he used to enjoy doing?
