Hubby happy to be a slob after retiring while I wait on him
Daily Mirror UK
|February 27, 2025
My husband and I are both retired and have been married for 42 years.
-
 We are very lucky to have three grown-up children and three wonderful grandchildren.
My problem is, while I'm busy every day, cleaning, cooking, washing, ironing and seeing to everything else that needs doing around the house, my husband is quite happy to do absolutely nothing.
He just sits around all day on the sofa, scrolling through his phone or watching the telly.
He used to at least go out for a walk every evening after work, but since retiring he doesn't even bother with that any more and, as a result, he's put on three stone in weight.
He's also been diagnosed with high blood pressure and mild emphysema.
Apart from the fact he does nothing to help at home, I worry about his health.
