So many couples struggle with being together in retirement, Beth. You two have worked through the kinks. Ben and I naturally wake up together between 6:45 and 7. I abhor news in the morning, so he watches the morning political pundits while I walk our dog. After that, we negotiate what needs to be done and what we want to do. Of course, I still work part-time and he goes to dialysistwiceaweek, so we get breaks from one another.
