Survive Your Husband's Retirement: A light-hearted look at the joys and tribulations of living with a retired husband

We’re not sure where Bob learned his caboose skills, but on his first day of retirement he began following his wife everywhere––even into the bathroom, we’re told. In another household, mild-mannered, but newly retired Tom became the family tyrant, going into a frenzy when dishes or silverware weren’t placed exactly as he had rearranged them. And that’s only a few of the strange stories we’ve heard about husbands’ retirement behaviors that threaten to drive a wife crazy. Written for wives of the Two Million (plus) baby boomers who will become eligible for retirement this year alone, Survive Your Husband’s Retirement looks at changes in a relationship––and the errant behavior that comes along with it––when a husband retires. Replete with couple’s stories, cartoons, and coping suggestions, Survive prompts women to laugh, to cry, to think––and finally––take action to return bliss to the relationship.
