Mid-life crisis has been discussed her, and I honestly believe that is what played a role in my x wife wanting a divorce. I am 43, however, and have been happy up to this point. I have never had a desire to act younger or feel that I missed something, etc.
I'm not sure what causes a mid-life crisis. Is it a state of mind that just happens and takes the person by surprise, or is it a result of mentally dwelling on certain thing over time that triggers it?
I have always been comfortable with my age, and even when I was a teen, I remember people telling me how mature I acted for my age. So, if anything, I have always leaned ahead rather than behind.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I try to act 80 at 43, but I just enjoy my life and am comfortable with who I am.
Even though I didn't ask for the divorce, it has naturally given me freedom that I didn't have when married. I suppose I could be out painting the town every night, pursuing younger women, etc. Instead, what the new freedom means to me is that I can watch what I want on tv, eat at the restaurants I want, eat exactly what I want for supper, stay home when I want, go somewhere when I want, smoke a good cigar in peace if I want, etc. I have no desire, however, to go wild or search for something I possibly missed.
So, is it possible that some people will never experience a mid-life crisis? I hope I don't.
