When my DH retired, I was still working (in a Fabric Store) and he would, cook meals, do the laundry, go grocery shopping, wash floors, get the gas tank in the car filled for me, all this and still do the hubby type chores like mowing etc. He is still my best friend even going of 53 years in August. He still does all those things around the house. I think he might have more energy than me. ha ha
