This is my first post and hopefully by what I see, wont be my last.
I am married to a man 10 years younger than me and have been married 17 years. Now that I am getting older (78) recently he has changed and I don’t get the support I had. I have 1/2 sister who just found me through DNA and it has made me very happy.
Mentally I am starting therapy next week, but though that maybe this community may be a key for mental health.
Thank you again for your allowing me to join.

Welcome, I am sorry to hear that you are struggling with the lack of support that you need. Feel free to start a thread about this subject. I am sure their are others here who are having much the same issue. Sometimes I think it is a communication issue. Have you discussed with him your feelings and what you need in order for both of you to keep up with everything households need to function. If there are medical issues that also come into play that also needs discussion. Things like him taking you to the doctor. Being in the appointment to hear what the doctor says, how your over all health may prevent you from doing things you had taken care of in the past.

We all slow down as we age. We get medical issues that prevent up from doing many things we could. We wish we could it but really can't. I know I can't keep the house as organized and cleaned as much as I used too. I can't do yard work like I used to. I try when I think I can. Everything has been on me since my husband died but when I stop and think about it, it always was. He worked, worked and worked. That was his thing. I ran everything else, the house, the finances, the yard, the child.
