Dear Abby: Spouse considers divorce after 55 years due to disagreement over move to complex for seniors

by Abigail Van Buren

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips.

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I are seniors and live in a one-floor condominium. I am in good health, but she has several medical issues, including impaired balance and mobility. She refuses the recommended physical therapy and rarely uses the walker I bought for her. She hates cooking now and wants me to drive almost daily for takeout, which is expensive and time-consuming. Now, she’s talking about selling our condominium to move into a seniors’ complex with independent, assisted and continuing care phases. All meals are prepared there.
