[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Psychologists who are adherents of Erik Erickson's Lifespan Theory will understand about the importance of the 'mid-life crisis' which occurs around 40-50 years of age. The crisis during this life phase is "Stagnation vs. Regeneration" and it's important to make peace with things or do something constructive about it.  Many people are on Match.com, Christian Mingle, or go back to school to get an advanced degree.  Some buy the clichéd red convertible.[/quote]

why is this "mid life crisis" looked upon so negatively? i think it's great if people change careers or ramp up dating or buy a hot car if they want to a that age. who cares? life is short and everyone needs to do whatever they need to (legally, morally) do to make them happy. the alternative seems much worse: turn 50 and stay in miserable dead end job, depressed about being single and driving a crap car for no reason. why would anyone do that???? i think a mid life crisis is a great thing. change is good![/quote]

Because some men (when they have a midlife crisis) think that by cheating with a younger woman rejuvenates them. SELF CHANGE is good- doing something to improve yourself to feel good is great. Having an affair to boost your ego, not so much. But splurging on something you can't afford isn't mature, it's childish. Nothing wrong with spending, if you have it to spend.[/quote]
