[quote=Anonymous]Yep-midlife crisis. I know 2 couples this happened to. My Dad said this too my Mom right around the 25 year mark. They never had a great relationship, but this hurt her to the core. But they stuck it out. Over time my Dad started loving my Mom again. I don't think either of them are 'in love', but they have a partnership that works for both of them.

The other couple, was a friend of mine. Her Dad said the same thing to her Mom around the 30 year mark. He was miserable and it was the Mom's fault. Everything was her fault. So they separated and he got a girlfriend. He Mom kept her head high and just lived her life to the fullest. About a year, year and half, when the new girlfriend honeymoon was over, he realized that he was still miserable and it wasn't the Mom's fault. I think he started therapy. Eventually he got back together with the Mom.

When someone is going through a mid-life crisis, the last thing you want to do is chase after them. You need to hold you head up high. Have faith that the love you felt was real and he is just losing is mind temporarily. Live you life to the fullest without him (even if you are still in the same house). Show him was a happy, wonderful person you are. In time he will get through this...[/quote]
