My wife has a catrike villager which she loves and rides as much as possible. I ride her old Liz Cruiser (standard 2 wheel bike) with 3 gears. I simply can't keep up with her.
I would love to switch to a recumbent because I have work injuries in my arms and hands and riding a recumbent reduces the ergonomic load on your arms, hands, and so on.

I tried riding her villager but it just doesn't feel comfortable. My knees feel like they are almost up in my stomach and the left side of the bike impinges on my left leg. My wife does
have slightly longer legs than me but is about the same height and weight. Perhaps I just need a recumbent adjusted to my particular body needs.

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Scubaquarius
