Retired Husband Syndrome
Retired Husband Syndrome (RHS) [1] is a psychosomatic, stress-related condition that is often experienced by wives who suddenly find themselves spending more time with their husbands due to the latter's retirement. The term originated in Japan, where it is known as Shujin Zaitaku Sutoresu Shoukougun [2].
Etymology
The term "Retired Husband Syndrome" was first used in Japan in the late 20th century. It is a direct translation of the Japanese term "Shujin Zaitaku Sutoresu Shoukougun", where "Shujin" means husband, "Zaitaku" means at home, "Sutoresu" is a loanword from English meaning stress, and "Shoukougun" means syndrome.
Symptoms
Symptoms of Retired Husband Syndrome include depression, insomnia, physical pain, and stress-induced ailments. These symptoms are often a result of the sudden increase in time spent together, changes in routine, and the emotional adjustments that come with retirement.
