Hope you're feeling better!

It's been over 15 years now since I've been gainfully employed. Since then, I've only done some volunteer work periodically. During that time, my wife has been employed full time. Neither of us have any close friends or family. Consequently, I have spent large amounts of time by myself.
The outcome of this situation has been, what little bit of tolerance I ever had for being around other people, has pretty-much disappeared. I even find it challenging to spend large amounts of time with my wife. She tends to talk allot when she's home. And after awhile, it gets on my nerves. I absolutely must have significant amounts of time alone. This is going to become a larger issue soon. My wife is retiring in a week!
