Why do guys go through a midlife crisis and what happens afterwards?

Question

Do they think they are old?

Answer 1

I think maybe they have some regrets in their past life.Maybe there are some things they wish they would have done but did not do.Combined with feelings of getting old i think everyone goes through it eventually.In the end they will be fine.

Answer 2

I think they realize they're going to die someday and panic.

By hanging around with younger people, remarrying someone younger, having more kids, I think they feel as though that puts death farther away.

Then there are the guys who've gotten tired of the same old routine and chuck everything and do something else that's a better fit (we all start working so young and/or marrying so young that what we want to do changes over time and our old lives seem small). This tends to be a more well thought out change than the former, usually doesn't involve a convertible, and doesn't always mean the spouse gets dumped.
