I feel sorry to hear that u worry your hubby will lose interested in you if you quit working.
u should communicate your retirement plan with your hubby first so that he got some ideas or u guys can come up with some financial planning before u quit.
I plan to quit working 4-5 yrs later when my child studies in primary as I want to spend more time with his homework. I just want to feel relax and enjoy being at home and take good care of my health.
I sometimes daydream I'll attend some nice cooking classes when I retire....that is something I got no time to do at the moment...
oh sorry I misunderstood u. u hv already quitted working.
being a full time mum to take care of kids is an easy job...so your hubby should appreciate your willing to stay home. of course i choose to retire when I feel financially is secure and i trust that my hubby can provide good quality of life to the family.
on the other hand, i'll not feel "less attractive" or "not good anymore" to my hubby as I think i hv made enough contribution to the family and now I just want to shift my focus to my child's development. Even if I just want to be lazy and relax at home, why can't ?
being a full time mum doesn't mean u must become a "less interesting partner", u can continue to read newspapers and books to upgrade yourselves, u can go back to school for further education, u can do more exercise to keep fit, I can hv more time to prepare good meals to my child and my hubby so that they'll be healthy and enjoy eating my meals...
