how do you know if your husband is going through a mid life crisis?

Oh please, get back to me when you have some relationship experience. Been married 27yrs asshole. Successful marriages are not built on a parental unconditional love model- they’re partnerships built on mutual respect plus affection. Your very marriage vows place conditions on your union; and most say nothing about parenting your spouse. Loving them, supporting them, encouraging them, and maturely accepting that life won’t always be easy doesn’t equate to unconditional. Cheat, abuse, neglect, lie, etc; those are conditions, unlike a parent who may be disappointed, saddened, hurt, angry, etc by a child but will still love that child with all that they are.

No, my parents nurtured me- they gave me a strong foundation to be independent & grab out of life what I wanted from it. As my spouses parents did him- this is our story that we write together- neither of us self sacrifices for the other to the point of losing ourselves (compromise & respect) & neither of us are free from responsibility in making the relationship work.

When he puts the down payment on the new corvette ?

If he comes home with his ear pierced, wearing a half-shirt exposing his mid-drift, driving a new red sportscar with a 19-year old sidechick named Giselle in the passenger seat, he may be having a midlife crisis.

When asked about Giselle, if he says "She completes me!" than yes, he's in fullblown meltdown.

I am currently going thru my mid life crisis. I've reached the point where not a lot excites me. Been married a hunnerd years or so it seems. I realize i'm never going to be rich or do a lot of the things I had hoped to do when younger.

Pretty much just day to day.

Agree. You bust your ass, work hard, pay taxes, raise kids, and that’s all there is to life. You realize that that 30 years of working was all bullshit. Get up, eat, work, come home, wife says you’re lazy, sleep and repeat... what’s not to get excited about?

I'd say a grown man playing video games is the bigger problem.

It's just down time.

Depression would be not taking a shower for weeks, being pessimistic, gaining tons of weight.

Use "whole" messages, I see, I think, I feel, I need. I see you are focused for hours on some things that scare me. I think that the world is going to end. I feel insecure. I need to talk about it.

A very amusing troll thread Chasity...lol...better then watching tv OR playing video games.

I'm having my mid life crisis right now. No man in my life for over 20 yrs. My family doesn't want me to get involved with anybody. People are too crazy. I guess they're all afraid I'll actually be happy.
I gave up on love. To me, it's just a lie your parents tell you to comfort you.
I'm ok with being alone. I dont have to raise anyone who acts like he's fucking 12 yrs old.
