My husband worked from home since covid...on pc and in control since then.We live in one level home(i am grateful ) but seriously now, i turn around and bump into him. i asked him what he is going to do when he retires previously and he said..i would entertain him...its been hard for 15 years but this is a new level. How to get a man to the doctor? How to help? yelling and demanding what i am to do...locked myself in a room...have sat him down with boundries but he has none. HELP

I have a son like that. He's supposed to be my carer, but sometimes I wonder! I set him up with a Man Cave in a spare bedroom. Allows me to do what I have to do while he's busy with his computer and Warhammer models..

Just a thought.

Cheers, Midori

Have you thought of getting out of the house for a couple of hours a day? How about volunteering at a Charity shop or something. Might get you out of the way and find another friend for a coffee or something., just to stop you from strangling him 🥴Only kidding, BTW!

Cheers, Midori

Sorry to hear that.

Not the greatest situation, but I can understand your frustration. I'll think on.
