It doesn't happen to everyone. The friends, classmates, etc. that have said that to me have typically been married for years and needed an excuse to cheat. The ones who have been honest with are jealous of me being single and feel that they missed out on the fun "single life". Whether that is true or not is different in everyones mind. I don't have a crisis, I thoroughly enjoy my freedom to travel and basically do what I want.

I think you want to give attention to the most basic issues of what life is, what death is, and and how best to live. It doesn't sound like an affair will help with that at all. If you really identify something important on which you are "missing out," then you can resolve that. But I'm guessing the real issue is that you (like many of us) feel like you want there to be something more, but you have a nagging feeling that there just isn't, and that doesn't feel satisfactory. I think THAT is what you want to sort through. I don't recommend trying out wild things in the hope that you will stumble onto something that will give you the feeling that you are no longer missing out. I don't think that will happen. See if you can make a peace with the most basic facts of life (because they are not changing). Then I bet the details won't distress you too much. (Personally, I don't think that at the end of our lives we get graded on the quantity or quality of our experiences. We are all experiencing what living is like; there's not a right or wrong way to do it, and it all ends the same no matter what we do. Warren Buffet lives in a little tract house in Nebraska. I always find that reassuring.)

Midlife crisis happened to me. I am 48 and dated a 25 year old and had to catch my self. We tend to get caught up without realizing that we are just trying to insure we still got it.

Maybe your buddy needs an excuse for his bad behavior. Life and relationships are growing things, if you don't change as you go, then at some point you will explode. You aren't the person you were 20yrs ago and you aren't the person you will be in 20yrs. Its like a car, regular checkups will most likely keep you from breaking down in the fast lane.

midlife crisis is just like the opposite of turning to be a teenager, it is pretty exciting but on the other hand as midlife crisis you are afraid of the old age that you are heading into.

don't know if it happens to everyone...but...I think it's all in how you handle yourself with the ups and downs of life...
