I'm over 60. husband wants to work till the end..I'm still working only bc he is. And I don't want to retire without companionship. Heavy intro but could use advice..
 

Have you talked it over yet? I know sometimes it's tough to get together one on one to really discuss feelings, esp. if the other is tough to pin down to talk.

This is important for you both to work out together. Perhaps you may both agree to work part time... or perhaps he needs to think more about it. A highly driven man can be hard to navigate this with. (my dad is a VERY driven man), Maybe bring it up in a relaxed setting, on a get away trip.

I'm sure others here have better input... good luck.
 
Find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life... mostly because no one is hiring.:)

After retiring my dad used to say, "When every day is a holiday, no day is a holiday." An enjoyable work gives some people purpose and fills their days. What do you propose he fills his days with once he retires? The key is to show that better things await outside his life of work.
A life without purpose is like a tire without air, it becomes flat rather quickly. ~me
