As I am no longer at corporate, I am not sure what the retirement age is anymore for when my husband retires following the guide for Employees in Malaysia but if I could make a guess, I would say for men it is 60-65? OK I just checked on the News Straits Times published 4 days ago and the Government is contemplating increasing it to 65 but there has been a lot of protests.

Anyway, allow me to tell you my husband’s retirement story that almost got me to walk out of this marriage so you have something to work with when YOUR husband retires.

Originally, the reason I worked so hard to grow my business and gain time and financial freedom for our family is so I could have him at home with me FULL TIME to take care of me. It is lonely working as a Boss from home being the Lone Ranger in decision making and facing challenges Han Solo but also, I have such high standards that it has been difficult hiring staff to help me and so my brain and time are pretty stretched. Having the husband home when he retires from work to help me would help me SO MUCH not forgetting I have my health challenges to deal with as well.

A few years ago, I busted MY ASS OFF to gain us this freedom but the company the hubs worked at did not release him with blessings and gave him better offers instead several times including a driver to help me because the doctor said I should stop driving due to my brain tumour and the risk of passing out suddenly. I was extremely disappointed but hey, new driver certainly helped me tons.

As I started getting challenged again with my health, I urged him to stop work and we AGREED that he would stop work last year and I told him that under no uncertain terms no matter how much money or benefits the company offered him back would he continue to work. He said OK. HE SAID OKAY!!!! I was SO HAPPY!!!

Alas, it was bullshit and he tried to make up for it by getting me Chanel, Tiffany, Louis Vuitton and Bottega. I was NOT impressed. When your husband retires, my ass.

That day, I gave up on us.

We fought so badly that he said he would go back to the company the next week to quit cold turkey. To me, my health was not important enough than him making money from work and so I told him that even if he did, a part of me inside was already dead. I’m drama like that…..And of course, he didn’t!!! WTF.

This year, 2021 after 2 pandemic years, he is hinting that he will definitely stop work this year. Well, there is 1 more month to go and I’m not betting my horse on him. Even my kids don’t have the confidence and cannot decide if he would really quit full-time employment or not.

When your husband retires…..

What do you think?
