Recently, I was asked by a man who's wife had left him and his children due to her Mid-Life Crisis: When does the MLC begin and if redirected attention toward the children was an indication that a woman was soon going to click her heels and return home?

Some find themselves turning to religion more than ever before and this is evidenced by the frequency of such phrases as "turning to faith" in the LifeTwo discussion forums. »more»

Hi. My husband is 28 and I am 22. We have been married for three years this coming April. It has been really hard for us ever since we got married but we have made it through. A few months ago, he broke down and said he just felt kinda depressed and like he hasn't done anything with his life. He also said he doesn't feel like he can do anything, I guess as far as hobbies and stuff. »more»

Music can be very powerful and can evoke memories and emotions. What song(s) best capture how you are feeling and why? (Perhaps at some point we'll put together a iTunes playlist for us all to listen to).

Roky Erickson, who was a rock star from the 13th Floor Elevators in the late 60's, had a midlife crisis just like a lot of people. If you don't rememeber his band, their hit song was "You're Gonna Miss Me." He eventually got into doing drugs while on the road and ended up with a metal disorder, Schitzophrenia. He went crazy and had to be put into a mental institution. »more»

I need some input. My husband and I are both 52 and have been together 2 years. We were both married previously, neither have any children. It's been an ideal, beautiful relationship.

My husband told me in February that he needed time and space because he was unhappy and has been for some time. We have been married 12 years and together for 17 years. We tried marriage counseling but he quit after the 4th visit as he felt it was doing him no good. He did talk to my Father about some stuff and told him that he loves me and does not want a divorce. »more»

Here's where we're going to put links to interesting "what I did during my midlife crisis" stories as we come across them ...

Was there a “trigger” (job change, divorce, etc.) that got you thinking about the next phase of your life and how you plan to live it?
