His Midlife Crisis

I have put an article in my journal about Midlife Crisis if anyone wants to read it. I sent it to my husband after he left and he never responded. I feel that this is what has happened to him but who knows?

Mine is not having a midlife crisis. Sorry you're having to deal with yours having one. Good luck!

Sorry if your husband is going thru this. It is not commonly so drastic. The article states that the men affected dont realize it so that is reason husband didnt respond.

Woman go thru it also but for some reason its okay. Just another perspective to show I understand.

there should be a warning that appears on foreheads when the symptons appear. the STAY AWAY FROM MY SPOUSE warning would be nice. and on his arm for himself a GROW UP

Wowee, wowee. That sounds like my husband but I think he's too young to be going through that- he's only 35 but many of the characteristics sound the same.

While they are in the midst of it, they won't see reason, or see themselves in any articles you send his way (at least mine never did).
Mine is now admitting that he was having a MLC, (3-4 years later) but the damage is too great, and he isn't willing to do what it takes for me to earn trust in him again.

Dear Cynthi,

Midlife crisis is an individual thing, while most men, women too experience midlife crisis, not all leave their spouses. Leaving at midlife is also correlated to internal issues which have nothing to do with you, that went unresolved.

This is exactly what I am going through. My stbx will be 53 in just a couple months. THis fits his situation to a T. It very drastic and very painful.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
