Aitah for laughing and saying I told you so when my wife went back to work?

2 February 2026 @ 7:50 am

I retired one year age. As early as I possibly could. I'm loving it. More time with my wife. More time for my hobbies. More time for my grandkids. Loads more time for my dogs. You couldn't drag me back to work. I got paid really well so I topped up my retirement plan every year. I don't ever need to do anything again. I could just lay in bed and pay people to come by and roll me back and forth so I don't get bedsores. My wife is one of those people who needs to be busy. She cannot handle just puttering around the house. She is also six years older than me. So she retired after forty years with the school board. Forty years as a teacher. She has a great pension as well. Added to my pension and savings she doesn't need to work either. The day she retired I said she would not be able to handle doing just hobbies and hanging out with me and the dogs. We have three schnauzers. They are ill mannered brutes who we accid
