Dear Annie: I dreamed of quality time together, but husband keeps saying 'just one more project'

Several women wrote to Dear Annie regarding husbands who left full-time employment but continue working as much as ever. These men prioritize consulting gigs and various projects over planned quality time with their spouses. The wives express frustration and a feeling of constant waiting, as their partners repeatedly reschedule personal plans. Despite reaching retirement, these husbands refuse to stop working, preventing couples from enjoying the shared life they had previously dreamed of together.
