I suspect that allocation of power in relationships over 50 is a bigger issue than many people realize. No matter how the equilibrium was for much of its duration, it is likely that this will change dramatically as children leave, work schedules change, and along with it finances.
In spite of the fact that change brings new opportunities, not many of us seem to really like it. Not only don' we like it, we fight it.
Whether it is about having run the homefront as you like and now having a spouse around putting toilet paper rolls on backward or worse, or it is about choosing where and how you'll eat lunch or any of a number of similar freedoms/powers/responsibiities, it is hard not to feel intruded on.
Of course we can and would gain by just stepping up and working these things out,too often we don't. So, what's to be done?
What has worked for you?
