Since my wife retired, she is obsessed with crossword puzzles. She always has a puzzle book or is doing them on her phone.
I've been happily married 30 years, but since my wife retired she is obsessed with crossword puzzles and has time for nothing else. Dear Abby: What should I do?I have been happily married for 30 years. Since my wife recently retired, her crossword hobby has become an obsession. She does them all day, whether we are watching TV, talking or eating meals. When we go out, she carries crossword puzzles to do or does them on her phone.
When our kids visit, she ignores them and does crossword puzzles. During the last holiday celebrations, she sat staring at her phone crosswords instead of participating in family interactions. If she were my child, I would take away her phone. But she’s an adult and my wife, so I can’t do that. Before she retired, she did crossword puzzles two or three times a week, and we had fun doing them together. Now I am completely ignored. I have talked to her about my feelings.
