Same here... where some jobs were "mine", and some were "his". Not that I was not capable of doing them... just a division of labor. And now nearly all jobs are mine. My husband feels bad about me doing it all, but when he says that, I remind him that he did these jobs for 45 years for us, and it is my time. And I too hope he can get stronger for both of us.

That is so true. Over time things just happen...not sure people realize that that is what happens in a good partnership. Wishing you both many more years together. It is hard to see them unable to do something that they used to do without thinking about it. Our love for them will give them strength.
