[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s a happiness trough in midlife. People hit the upswing in their early 50s and generally happiness continues to improve. Hang in there. It’s a season of life.[/quote]

Unless they royally screw up and have an affair and make a complete mess of their lives before snapping out of it.

It’s a strange thing to witness. They become like petulant children with no care for anyone but themselves.  It’s like an alien invaded their body. [/quote]

That self centeredness is like how a drowning man will bring the lifeguard down with them.

They see that death is right around the corner, that all the hopes and dreams of the youth are fading, some have absolutely failed, and they suddenly grab with desperation on things that will distract them from the loss, failure, and dimmed hopes for the future and reignite a feeling of youth.

So it’s understandable, but fundamentally selfish to not snap out of and instead focus on the legacy of your life with your spouse and family, planning on making the most of what you have built and what and who you will leave behind. [/quote]

Oh this is really hilarious. My brother had what some might consider a "midlife crisis". I just see it as trading in for a newer model. His soon-to-be ex was hot in her time but is in her 40s now (he just turned 50). He hired a lab assistant out of college who is incredibly smart, and even bubblier and uber-hot. He couldn't believe it when she started coming on to him, and asked me what to do. Fact is he had felt dead inside with the wife and all the talk about the kids, and his heart was ready to move on. He just needed me to tell him what I saw, and he bit the bullet. So he got with her and is full of joy every time I see him. The ex is furious but the kids are what matter and they'll get over it as he never left them, just her.[/quote]
