Mid-life crisis
Any of you guys believe in Mid-life crisis? And if so, how old were you when it hit you?
I don’t really believe in it, but I’m 32 years old and just feel pretty blah lately. Maybe it’s from winter? I’m not one to make excuses though.
If you feel like you went through it, what did you do?

I would go tool shopping if you have money to spend, but maybe that's not your thing.

Guess I was too busy and missed that one. Now with an empty nest I look back and it seems like it went by so fast.

Lol ya it’s all good! I got a house full of manly stuff so I’m not too worried lol
At 27 I was in a severe auto wreck. My wife and I were in ICU two weeks, I was on a Walker 5 months and my 16 month son was killed. All because a 19 year old ran a red light in a 3/4ton at 65mph.
My credit went in the toilet, my wifes health and mental state was difficult to deal with to say the least. Everything was tied up in court 2.5 years. The kid was under insured my extra coverage wouldn't cover the remainder. It looked like we would loose almost everything and have to go bankrupt.
After 4 years of being a rock for my wife not able to show any emotion without her becoming worse I broke. I started drinking at bars, cheating on my wife, just about anything I knew was bad for me I didn't care.
Fortunately I got my head out of my hind end and have an amazing wife I in no way deserve. My marriage is stronger than ever.
The wreck was in 2007. Since then we have bought a small farm cash with run down house our newest car it a 2001 with 360k miles. I have 3 healthy kids a job people would kill for. Some day maybe the farm will be able to support us? Maybe not.
How is that for mid life crisis? So buy a farm kiss your wife and hug your kids and give thanks to God for all your blessing large and small most you over look.

It very well could be PMS, or;
Buyers remorse from your haircut,
Nutritional balance is off from eating sissy pancakes,
Starting "selfie sunday".
The list goes on and on, have you discussed with your Husband how you feel?

Life is too short for a midlife crisis.......get to work !!!!
It's prolly from always dissing old guys on here. We all got tired of hearing it and had an old witch cast a. spell on you. It'll wear off when you hit 60!

You have to get all that crazy stuff out of your system when your young.If you dont you might have the urge to do it all later in life.
Very inspirational post,Providence.

You guys did that too?
My second best customer is big into voodoo. I am basically his voodoo pharmacist for what his witch doctor prescribes. He buys roosters, hens, baby chicks, pigeons, guineas, quail, doves and the occasional goat.
It takes a very specific voodoo prescription to make a trapper run into an angry beaver, in murky, Canadian water.

Re: Mid-life crisis - 03/19/20 11:33 AM
I will answer this in all seriousness, a lot of guys in their 40's get sick of the life they have at that point for a variety of reasons. Many change partners, jobs, buy things that they would not have thought they needed to buy. I took a job requiring me to be gone more, working harder, lot more stress in my life. Can't go back and do things over, but if that was my mid life crisis it certainly fits the time frame. The 2002 market crash, again in 2008, and getting to retirement in 2017 kind of aligned my life around family not dollars and this present crisis will not matter.

I have been accused of having one but since I am 73 I told them that it was more like an end life crisis.
If only it was a mid life crisis!
