mid life crisis or something else


Recommended Posts

Okay, tell me what you think.

 

In the past few months, my husband has become extremely VAIN!! Looking in mirrors, tweezing his eyebrows, gettting into men's skin care regime, looking at his legs and commenting on how nice they look (for a guy yes, a woman, no), getting his hair colored, spending money as if there were no tommorrow (keeps the bills paid on time) AND yes, he's 50.

Am I right that he's having a mid life crisis????

You tell me what you think.

Don't know if you thought of this, but is it possible that he is having an affair? All this primping and spending money could be attributed to that as well. What is he spending money on? Do you keep track of where the money goes? If not, I would definitely demand to know.

No, I don't think or sense that he is having an affair---he hardly leaves thehouse and when he does, he wants me with him.

He's spending money on a trip overseas, spent $15,00.oo on a camera, buying new clothes, dreams of a BMW Z3. He is really into "himself"

sounds like he is having a midlife crisis then. Have you confronted him about his new "image"? If so, what does he have to say about it?

He feruses to consider it a mid-life crisis. He perfers to say he's just now taking better care of himself

Well then good for him....and you! Guys seem to be getting more savvy on this GQ thing. As long as there's no signs of him having an interest in another woman, I say let him do his thang!

It does sound like a MLC.

 

Take special care of him right now. It sounds like he needs more attention and needs to know you are still attracted to him. Give him compliments when he changes something about himself. Give him compliments when he doesn't. Tell him how great he is in bed and show enthusiasm (sp?). If he can afford these new toys, don't throw a fit about his spending habits.

 

This is the time when men can usually afford the things they've always dreamed of. They've worked hard all their life and want to have the trophies to show for it. It is also a very delicate time for some men. Their sex drive can start to decline, which they may blame you for. That's when the affairs usually start or when the resentment of the wife comes into play. Not all men have affairs, but you need to take special care of him and keep your eyes open.

 

He's changing and it will be hard for you to take. Just love him and try to help him through it.
