Learn to make yourself grow up. While you may think that you want to have more fun, you can’t be reckless in life and still expect the other portions of your life to be constant and ongoing. Acting like an adult and having fun is going to help you get through those mid life problem years without having regrets.
Make the changes in your life that have been leading you to feel as if you want more. If you have been too busy to visit with your parents, long lost friends, or if you want a new job, get it by making small steps before you blow off the handle and loose everything you have worked so hard to get like your reputation, your position, and your feelings.
Don’t be afraid of change; don’t be afraid of getting older and enjoying life in a new way. Getting older only means that your life is more stable and you are in better positions to enjoy life in different ways such as traveling, music, etc.
Learn to hold on to your marriage at all costs during this time. It can be difficult as you want to try other things in life, but in the end, as your life begins to change and settle, you will miss those memories and will hate the hard times in making new friends, and meeting a new person that is all important to you for your even older years.

I don't think my husband is doing the cheating part yet, but he talks about how he feels old & out-of-shape.He has a good job, has just been promoted to lead position after being on the job for a little over a year- he works 6 days a week 10hrs a day Monday thru Thureday & on Friday & Saturday 8hrs a day- he's at work alot,never comes home late.
Always calls on his breaks about every 2 hrs- I don't think there's any possibility that he's cheating.We've been married for almost 8 years in July- I have a 10 year old son from a prev relationship & we have a 6 year old daughter together.Other than him thinking that he's old & out-of-shape,I'd have to say that he's a great husband & father.
I always try to boost his ego/self-esteem when he gets in a down mood about his age. |

My husband is going through this too. I have just filed for a divorce after trying to fight it for about 3 months. He has no interest in working on our marriage, but says he doesn't want a divorce. He moved out about 3 weeks ago.
I told him if he left, I was going to file. He had spent the last 3 months spending less and less time at home. It started with playing golf all weekend and got to where he only came home to sleep. Said he just wasn't happy and needed some time to himself.
I'm pretty sure he's seeing someone else and the stress was making me ill. I now have my own place with my daughter and am recovering. It does get better. |
