HELP! Problem with Husband at Home

My husband retired in 1993 working at a corporation for 37 years. The night he retired, (while my parents were visiting us) my dad became ill and we were the main caregivers from then on for about 3 years.

In 2000, my husband went back to work trying real estate when the selling was good. that worked out well, but never lasted long enough. Then in 2005 when housing fell through, he upped and quit cold turkey, never telling me a thing about it. Our good money stopped coming in and now we are back to living with on a fixed income. It is difficult now especially with high prices continually going, up, up up.

He is now too old to acquire a job at all. He is driving me crazy hanging around the house 24/7.

Whenever he goes out on an errand, he hurrys right back home. My home can never be cleaned like it used to be, with him always interrupting me with this and that, asking questions, etc. I told him, I need to get away from all of this and I mean it. It has been going on way too long and I am sick and tired of it.

I have fibromyalgia and the nerves just can't take it anymore it is trying on my health.

All I want is a little alone time, peace and quiet. Maybe a separation might do it for a short while?
