Here are eight symptoms of the male midlife crisis

1.life is a bore.

2.Thinking about (or already) having an affair.

3.Suddenly making impetuous decisions about money and career.

4.Dramatic change in personal style or appearance and suddenly spending lots of time in front of a mirror.

5.little interest in spending time (or having sex)with the spouse.

6.Drinking too much or abusing other substances.

7.Displaying classic signs of depression -- sleeping more, loss of appetite, malaise.

8.Overly nostalgic and constantly reminiscing about one's youth or his first love.

How did you or how are you handling it?

to my understanding, middle life crisis is when you are supposed to have accomplished something in a given period and when the period is about to end, you look back to what you have accomplished.
if you think you have not accomplished enough, you suffer middle life crisis but if you think you have accomplished enough, well and good.
guys get it when they r about to retire & they havent saved enough for old age.

Life expectancy in Kenya is about 44 years, so mid-life for wazuans kicked in zamani at 22yrs old. Yes, 4 years after you get you qualify ID!
There's comfort in numbers, knowing we are all middle aged.
Unfortunately or otherwise, going by the same token, that would make the 2 principal MPIgs well,er...fossils.

Someone once told me that when you get to 40 and you are not yet wealthy...not rich....then chances are that you wil never be. may be this is one thing that troubles us when we get there.

True. Read something somewhere like this. ...if you are 40 and you have not made your first million, stop trying. Some men (women) were made to serve...

@Fundaa notice my emphasis on the wealthy part. Wealth is all rounded its not about how much money you have in the bank.

In women it is called menopause which starts at around 45. Someone once told me that there are many divorce cases in court, because people are not aware when they suffer from it. The spouse keeps on blaming the other for one thing or another.

When your spouse is making choices that have a negative affect on your life and your children’s lives what do you do in such a case?
