[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. Men from about 40-55 are damaged, mortality-facing assholes. Around 55 they come to their senses (or their dicks stop working) and they are happy to be in a committed relationship. [/quote]

Agreed. Midlife crisis. My ex was going through this while I was writing about how this was the easiest most fun time of my life. I don't understand it. We had made it work-wise, paid off the house almost, had many friends, kids were doing well. I don't understand midlife crisis. It's like they are finally done with the work and instead of coasting for 10 years and enjoying the fruits of their labor they self-sabotage.[/quote]

Same.

Thankfully he snapped out if it and dud the work and is so grateful now.  He became an entitled selfish critical a-hole in his mid-late 40s.  50 now with high school age kids and marriage and relationship is better than ever.

I see so many that never “change back” or create way too much damage to get it back.

+1. He tried to escape himself and life and just found he was even more miserable, spiraled down hard.  Therapy for the first time ever in his life had him confront the demons and dysfunction and poor coping skills from childhood.[/quote]
