When retirement brings conflicted feelings about structure

My husband has been retired for six months and keeps saying he wants us to be 'spontaneous' but then gets anxious when we don't have plans and I can't figure out what he actually wants or how to help him settle into this new rhythm.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The desire for freedom and the need for rhythm often war within people adjusting to unstructured time.
