[quote=Anonymous]I think the only thing that makes it surmountable is if the person experiencing the mid-life crisis has the self-awareness to not freak out and think this is something unusual or unexpected.  Maybe the goal is for more people to be open about this experience and set an example for others of how to do it right.  Just because you hit a phase when you question your life choices and look at the expanse of time ahead of you with concerns doesn't mean you have to abandon your family.  And as they say, you take your problems with you, so leaving your spouse isn't the solution.  If a married person knows that their partner would be okay with career redirection or moving or whatever, that might give the person with the problem the freedom to go through the crisis without destroying everything in their path.  In my case, XH had zero ability to be self-reflective and wouldn't even agree to a physical check up.  To this day I'm convinced he may have had a mini stroke or something that scrambled his mind.
