Signs of your wife having a midlife crisis

[Anonymous]

My mid 40s wife is going out with single friends on a regular basis, and talking about how the kids don't give her that much fulfillment. What are the classic signs of a midlife crisis in women?

How old are the kids? The kids getting older and being more independent and not needing her the way they used to could have something to do with this.

When she decides that your joint credit card does not suit her purposes, and she applies for one that is in her name only.

Ha! This wasn’t a sign of my ML crisis - but of my liberation. It still took me a year or 2 to divorce.

How is that a crisis? It's just normal. A person can't *only* be a parent. She needs hobbies, or a job, or relationships (preferably a combination) to be fulfilled. No one is sustained by only parenthood.

Does she regret having kids?

Bruh how often do you go out with your friends? And how long has this "regular basis" been going on? Years? A month?

Guy here - I was never one to go out with the boys regularly, in fact it was rare. I’m sure if I did my wife would have wanted the same privilege. If all of a sudden she was doing it regularly I’d be concerned. In our 40’s our lives were all family and work without much free time and we have no regrets.

I think women don't have the midlife crises as much as they deal with menopause and the awful lead up

It’s not a midlife crisis it’s a “bored being married to you” crisis. Many such cases.

It’s us crises when:
She has to tell you to pick up after yourself.
She has to tell you the kids are asking you a question
She has to remind you of basic stuff to do all the time.

Take on more of the kid responsibilities and thinking yourself.

Sounds more like an affair with fiends as a cover.

Sounds fine.

Is she leaving you a big mess she made at home or something?

You should each pull your weight in the house plus get some Me Time after 7 or 8pm
