you didn't say whether you are retired or still working. That makes a huge difference. When both are retired you can travel more and be bored less. If only one is retired and that person only had their work it can be a problem. He needs friends he can do stuff with, learn new things or he will be miserable. Easy to get depressed, sleep late and have no motivation. Maybe he should volunteer or get a part time job if you are still working until you can both travel. Sounds like he's not ready for the rocking chair!
