any marriages out there that have survived a mid-life crises?

Question

If so, how did you get through it? And if you are the man, when/how did you "come out" of it??

Answer 1

Excuse me, but it was my wife who had the mid-life crisis not me. (Women can be so sexist. Oops did I type that.)

As for surviving it I simply separated made her handle her own finances. Its really interesting how people wake up when the have to work for there life instead of dreaming that everything will be okay.

Answer 2

I took some of my life back during that time and tried to devote more time to me..... Mid life crisis is nothing but insecurity and selfishness,,,If the mate actually cheats I think I would say bye bye! I f they are just being idiots remind them who they really are! They may get mad or get even but if you can survive it all you will be stronger later....

Menopause became no longer particularly so undesirable as others have exceeded with the help of--my lower back were given genuine warm for the duration of sleep so I were given used to tossing off the covers only on my lower back without rather waking up, pulling them lower back on at the same time as my lower back cooled off without waking up.
