Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

We had dinner with old friends last night.  It's been a while, as we both have adult kids whom we travel to see and in their case his mother, who has Alzeimer's, and in our case, three grandchildren.  We used to get together for Thanksgiving and Christmas day, but that rarely happens any more.  Luckily, we live within walking distance, and run into each other and catch up, plus my friend and I are in a group together and also walk some mornings.  Our talk at the table turned to down sizing and adjusting to aging, and it was my husband who asked to change the subject.  He is very uncomfortable with the idea.  I want to find a smaller house on one level, and he doesn't want to move.  Of course moving is a huge upheaval, and yet, the stairs are difficult for me, and he is adverse to seeing this change.  He can't accept my problems, and yet, I can't just will them away.  What will happen?  We'll see.  I keep bringing it up, and he keeps saying he doesn't want to move.  Would I be any better if our situations were reversed?  Truly, I don't know.
