'You are my hobby.'

Four words that strike fear into the heart of every woman whose partner is approaching retirement.

If you're a man reading this, someone who loves you probably put this book in your hands. Or maybe you picked it up yourself because something's not quite right. The days feel long. Your partner seems tense. You're not sure what you're supposed to be doing with yourself.

Retired and Underfoot is the honest, practical guide to not becoming the husband who drives his wife crazy.

Inside, you'll discover:

• Why retirement hits men harder than they expect

• What 'Retired Husband Syndrome' actually looks like (and why she's not making it up)

• How to find purpose, hobbies and mates outside your relationship

• What she needs you to understand about her space, her time and her sanity

• How to have the conversation that could save your marriage

• A 90-day plan to build a retirement that works for both of you

This isn't about becoming someone you're not. It's about building a life that's worth living – and a relationship that survives you being home all day.

Your partner has a plan. It's time you got one too.
