[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does your wife like to read, OP? There is a book my DH and I both read recently called "Life Reimagined" about midlife. I think the subtitle is something like "the science, art and opportunity of midlife." The author describes the research on happiness and crisis at midlife and the practices that promote happiness. Its a good read. Also, when she talks about being unhappy, do you try to cheer her up by saying things like "sure there are!" etc? Maybe try "yeah, this midlife stuff is hard. Sometimes I feel like x" or "yeah, I've noticed my body changing, too. Its hard to take." Just feeling heard may help, if you've been in cheerleading mode rather than in sympathizing mode. Good luck to you both![/quote] Sorry, meant to ask whether OP says "sure there are!" when OP says there are no good things left to look forward to.[/quote]
