Here's a suggestion from a male perspective: tell him he is acting like a complete @ss. Men, all men, do NOT take hints, so do you and him a favor and just explain it. The so-called 'mid life crisis' is a total myth. It is a made-up condition to explain bad behavior by shrinks and hippies. Draw the line and stand on it...do not give him a pass on his actions because of a virtual condition.

You don't say how old your partner is but I'm guessing around the 45 mark. Mid life crisis's happen when you realise you ARE too old to have another baby, when you realise you are NOT going to play for your country in any sport, when your children are taller than you and legaly able to drink, when you realise that you are sllowly turning into your parent [and you always said you'd be different!]. Point out the good things in life. Such as, the mortgage is nothing to what young ones pay today for a house half the size, you don't have to pay a babysitter when you go out, you can go out whenever you want to! You can take off for the weekend, can you now afford to buy the one daft thing you always wanted? Buy it! You can, if the kids have gone, have a good time in the afternoon,if you get my drift. Sit back, chill out, slob out, relax and enjoy the rest of your life. Get a new hobby, buy a motorbike, do route 66 or wherever. Pretend you're 18 and think back to what you wanted to do then that didn't involve work or kids then plan to do it. You can if you really want to.

Change of diet. Start with marmite on toast (or marmite on crumpets...) and work in as many with a good source of B vitamins as you can. B vitamins enable you to cope with extra stress. It would be a good reason to explore some new eating places - nice country inns would be a start. Long walks in the woods are good when the weather is dry - it gives you a chance to get away and think stuff over, no rush.

To be hassle-free, I dont think of the midlife disaster extremely exsists, i think of a few adult men (no longer all) only get to a element the place theyre no longer happy with their marriage or existence, and picture the grass is greener on the portion of the fence, or think of that they could be happier in the event that they did issues they think of they missed out on while they have been youthful. What your ex has executed sounds to be infantile and irresponsible, and not basically with the aid of fact my (ex)husband did the comparable element while i became into pregnant with my 2nd toddler, yet with the aid of fact extremely of engaged on his marriage and attempting to artwork out element with you, to make you the two happy, he only did the cowardly element and had an affair and left you. i'm hoping with time you realize which you're able to do plenty greater effective than him, i recognize you preserve him, yet while he does ever attempt to return returned on your existence, dont enable him only pickup the place he left off... see a councellor and so on first. For the checklist, my husband in no way got here returned, and many years later I met a dazzling guy who's now my husband. we've 3 greater toddlers mutually and that i've got found out what a real marriage might desire to be... i'm hoping you too discover genuine happiness and that i wish you each and every of the very superb with your upcoming toddler and gorgeous toddlers. Goodluck

He might be worried and stressed about work issues.. He might have a medical problem he's not telling you about.
Or there might be something he is doing behind your back which is causing him to get wound up and tetchy!.
Or he may be thinking that you are doing behind his back, there are lots of possibilities, which you have to get to the bottom of.

So i think its best for you to talk to him!.. tell him whats going in your life and ask him whats going on in his..

If that doesn't help you'll just have to wait it out and see what
develops..

Record him ranting on when he is in a mood and play it back to him! He probably doesnt realise and then tell him it's not acceptable and he must leave the house and take a walk when hes in a bad mood

Yea I agree with Common Sense, everybody has problems. During the rough times you turn to your spouse for comfort not push them away. Call him out on it every time he does it. He might not even know he is doing it. God Bless.

Tell him he's going through the change and you can mediate with each other or a therapist on how to communicate without hurting each other on an emotional level
