My husband retired five years ago and is not really interested in doing anything but yard work. But I like to be out of the house and doing something. I started taking pottery, which I love! I joined a book club. I also started volunteering for a local food pantry, and after a few months, he started going with me too. I'd advise you to find what you love to do or have always wanted to do, and just do it! (I also told him I'd buy him stuff he could make for lunch, but I wasn't going to be cooking or serving another meal post-retirement!)
