I will turn 50 this year. I am in excellent physical condition, so unless something goes wrong, I figure that I have at least 15 years left on the planet.
15 years is really a short time. I will be spending this year winding my primary business down and bringing up a secondary business to functional levels, but at a far less demanding pace. I will no longer be strapped to the needs of a business 24/7.
Your husband is 56 years old. If he is in excellent health, his anticipated life time is already shorter than mine. If he is aware of his own mortality, I find it odd that he would devote another 5 years of his remaining life to busting his ass for someone else. If he were single, maybe I could understand.
I do plan to work until the day I die, but I plan to do it a lot less hard than I have previously worked.
Maybe your questions to him should be directed toward understanding his need to work so hard, and helping him understand why you think he shouldn't.
All the best, -NOPkins-
I will ferret out an affair at any opportunity.
-An affair is the embodiment of entitlement, fueled by resentment and lack of respect. -An infidel will remain unreachable so long as their sense of entitlement exceeds their ability to reason.
