[quote=Anonymous]Midlife crisis is like the monster that ate STBXDH. Like others here, I don't recognize the selfish jerk that used to be DH.

Not sure what advice to offer. Let him buy a sports car? Or some similar indulgence, just to get it out of his system. That's one of the first things STBXDH did right after he moved out. (The sports car was supposedly for our 17-year-old son, but apparently STBXDH wanted to borrow it all the time.)

He may not be having an affair, but he may have a general desire to see new women. STBXDH also started online dating immediately after leaving. I doubt he was having affairs, emotional or otherwise, before leaving (STBX accidentally signed DS up for OK Cupid at the same time he signed himself up, so the women were new, although DS said most dates were disasters). What's the answer here? Like others have said, probably to put out constantly so he's too tired to stray.

All the midlife crisis symptoms are there. STBX also announced that he was done with the mortgage and with helping with DD's college education. I'm relying on lawyers for the first but may not get much if any relief on the second. You simply can't allow your own DH to escape his financial obligations to his family, and pursue him with lawyers if you have to.[/quote]
