"Several small rugs need securing, and safety rails need to be installed in two of the showers. Two bathtubs are no longer being used because of the inability to egress without some type of assistance. There is also no handrail on the basement steps. My husband says it is no big deal to fix these issues, while I say it is a big deal that is crucial to aging in place and must be addressed immediately."
"Why do I feel the need to be in a relationship, but when I'm in one, I feel trapped, bored, disappointed and lonely? I'm a divorced single mom, co-parenting a child with my ex. We have been divorced for 15 years. My child is graduating from college this year. I have often been told by past partners that I lacked the willingness or ability to emotionally connect with them."
A retired couple lives in a two-story house with a basement that presents several aging and safety hazards. Small rugs require securing, two showers need safety rails, two bathtubs are unused due to egress problems, and basement steps lack a handrail. One spouse downplays repairs while the other insists on immediate modifications to enable aging in place. The recommended action is to install safety devices promptly or hire a professional if a partner procrastinates. A divorced single mother repeatedly feels trapped, bored, disappointed and lonely in relationships, struggling to emotionally connect, show vulnerability, or bond with partners' children, leading to repeated breakups.
