Ask Amy: I made a big decision, and people question me about it incessantly

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 17:23:07 GMT

Dear Amy: I retired at 62 and consider the ability to do so a blessing.In the lead-up to this momentous event, I alerted family and friends of my decision, which yielded a barrage of unsolicited warnings that my body would wither and my brain turn to an inoperative mush.Now that I am retired and living in a new community, I am questioned incessantly by apparently well-meaning people about what I do all day, as if enjoying my leisure is a crime.In fact, I am researching my genealogy, reading, investing, catching up remotely on long-neglected relationships, and enjoying the life I worked 40 years to afford.In truth, I don’t need to explain myself to anyone, but apparently some justification is expected.Have you any insights on how to approach these invasive comments?– Life Is GoodDear Life is Good: It’s possible that people are asking you how you spend your time not to accuse you of the crime of enjoying your leisure (how dare you!), but because they’re genuinely curious.The kindest r...

Unfortunately, my husband’s mother had other plans.Despite my wishes, my mother-in-law insisted on being in the delivery room during the birth of our child. This was not a decision that my husband and I had discussed beforehand, and I was caught completely off guard. I did not want her there.To make matters worse, my husband did not stick up for me when I expressed my discomfort and asked for his mother to leave the room. He simply brushed off my concerns and said that his mother was excited to be a part of the experience.I was left feeling unsupported and violated during one of the most vulnerable moments of my life.How do I move forward with my husband and mother-in-law? We haven’t discussed the situation since, and it’s been almost a month. — New MomRelated ArticlesAdvice | Harriette Cole: It’s embarrassing when peopl...
