He always had a bad temper and I was wondering many times if I should leave him. LASt year he was fired from his job on the church and he went to CAlifornia for a 3 months ocntract job. After 2 weeks of working he calle dme from a car dealer sying he was buying a car . We argued on the phone and he told me he would not come back anymore. Three months later he came back because he could not find a job in there He came back driving a HUMMER. I told him he had to sleep on the other room. He was mad. I tryed to find advice from a priest and they gave me some brochures of marriage conceling. I told my husband we should go to get better and he said he did not need to go there because he was happy like that. My husband is 46 years old and he is currently a manager of a nice chain of restaurants here in Florida. He makes good money but he is not happy with the amount of hours. He wants to move to a farm that will belong to him when his friends owner died. I to ld him I have no interest to live in a farm far away fo family and friendsright now. FOr retirement yes but not now with a 3 years old. The closest town is an hour away from the farm.
It has been a month since my husband start seeing somebody. I know I made lots of mistakes in our marriage and now I'm blaming myself for things not working.He tells me he never loved me he married me because he was sorry. He says we don't get a long...
All this situaion is breaking my heart I want my family back.

The conventional wisdom is that midlife crises usually feature extramarital affairs.
But one may have little to do with the other.
Middle-aged people -- of either gender -- have affairs. But many have nothing to do with the usual midlife crisis. Rather, they are the result of placing low value on the relationship, and poor bonding with one's spouse. »more»

While researching her book The Breaking Point: How Today's Women Are Navigating Midlife Crisis, Wall Street Journal columnist Sue Shellenbarger discovered that "women not only undergo bigger changes than men in middle age, but they also by some measures have a more positive attitude about their prospects in life."
One key source was "Turning Points In Adulthood," a chapter in the MacArthur Foundation's "How Healthy Are We? A National Study of Well-Being At Midlife." It shows that men and women are distinctly different in a measure of life fulfillment.
Researchers found that before 50, less women than men feel they have "fulfilled a special dream" in the last five years (24% vs 40%). But after 50, women's fulfillment goes up -- to 36% -- while men's falls to about 28%. »more»

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?

What the heck is the Dorothy Syndrome and what does it have to do with mid-life crisis? Well, it has everything to do with MLC! The Dorothy Syndrome is a phrase that I coined and is the premise for my upcoming book titled "The Dorothy Syndrome: Mid-life on the Yellow Brick Road". While coaching at another web site forum, I started using the metaphors used in one of my favorite stories and movies..."The Wizard of OZ". I was astonished at how easily I could use the dialog from the movie or premise of the story to describe the transitions, emotions, the typical experiences that occur during an MLC, whether it be for the woman or the man. »more»

"If the midlife crisis is a figment of the psychiatric and literary imagination, it's a figment that has migrated to the male imagination at large. The option of fleeing one's responsibilities seems, paradoxically, to grow more appealing as the responsibilities themselves become more rewarding." »more»
