There is nothing worse than leading a life that is not your own. The lies, the hiding, is exhausting. Eventually it will literally drive you mad.

It's possible, but not 'just like in the movies'.
I lead a double life.... and it's not a problem and not exhausting at all, I just keep social life seperate from work and family, and I have two social grous that don't meet. If they did ever meet..... mt friends who know know my transgender issues would (I am 100% sure) be smart enough not to mention it to my not so liberal friends.
I dont really see it as dishonest, I never lie to anyone, I just withold information from some people for thier own good, and let's face it... Everyone does that from time to time.
Women have mid life crisis too..... but people rarely bother to mention it.... especially the woman having the crisis.

It depends what you mean by a double life. If you mean having 2 existences that you keep separate, I would ask myself 1 question, why? Is it for the sheer thrill of it? Is it because you feel there is something shameful about 1 of the existences? The main thing to bear in mind is you need to be comfortable with who you, whatever that might be. If you can do that then a double life can be fun and exciting. If you can't you need to face up to your issues and not even go there with the multiple existences, because the person to get most hurt by it all, will be you. I hope this helps a bit and good luck for the future!

On a day to day basis we all do it. eg I am a mum, a lover, a daughter, an ex-wife etc. When these realities collide we slip between with ease because they are natural.
The question that you are asking, based on the category that you chose would seem to be different.
I have two major roles in my life and slipping between the two is difficult but not impossible. I do not live a lie, just swap depending upon whom I am with.
So the answer is no, it is not just in the movies.
My mid-life crisis came aged 38 when I turned my life upside down and swanned off to spend a year abroad.

yeah, that was me. I was made to stay in a relationship with the father of my children for 8 years- god looking back, i was really depresed. I still maintained a relationship with my ex gf and a few other girls to keep me happy. It was so exhausting...
Now that i am openly gay, I am so much happier, and just want to be a 1 woman girl...

I'd say yes, you hear about it all that time that men/women are married but on the side either have another guy/woman either if they are gay or straight.
I know of one person guy who's married and has a bf on the side (married to a woman of course). She know's nothing of it.

Yes it is possible to live a double life, But it is not recommended.
sooner or later it will catch up to you. Especially if you doing something illegal.

you only get one life. We all lead multiple realities....think of a criminal, in the same pub, he see's people differently to you, the accomplice, the grass, the fence, the off duty copper, to you, theyre normal people......there is an underworld in crime, we dont see, and one in gay life, winks nudges, meetings in loo's! and no doubt a world of masonic lodges, pedo's, gang members....who all see the same city, and people diferently. So we all lead, different realities, of what we want to see, and can see.
Change your identity, make new friends, you really can, reinvent yourself....people believe what they want, or expect to see.
