Description

Their biggest source of conflict is him not helping around the house now that he's retired.

Dear Annie: My husband has always seemed “old for his age.” For years, I managed the household while he worked full-time, but when he retired, I expected him to pitch in more with chores. That expectation has become our biggest source of conflict. He struggles to keep up with my energy, and I feel like he holds me back.
