Scenario

When couples struggle with sudden freedom in retirement

My partner and I retired two months ago and we thought we'd be thrilled to have all this free time, but instead we're both anxious and directionless and driving each other crazy. We spent so many years looking forward to this and now we don't know who we are without our jobs.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The space we spend years longing for can become a void when we finally inhabit it.
