[quote=Anonymous]I mean yes, duh. That's the age where (1) you realize this is your life and you're not going to be an astronaut or whatever you dreamed about as a kid (if you're unhappy with your job), (2) you have kids and they're either in an exhausting stage if you had them later or you're exhausted from having made it through those stages or they're gone and you realize you failed to take care of your marriage while the kids lived with you and now you're facing life with a stranger, (3) you're likely in worse physical shape that you were in when you were younger, even if you've worked hard to maintain your fitness, things start to hurt more at that age, (4) you've been married to the same person for likely multiple decades at this point, and dealing with someone every day of your life can be hard, no matter how much you like each other, (5) your life is likely very entangled with this person to whom you are married to the extent that unwinding it would be a massive ordeal. Do you need me to go on? There are a million things that happen in your forties and fifties that aren't issues at earlier ages. That's why the notion of a mid-life crisis exists. That is your mid-life. [/quote]
