Could a 40 year old married man be going through a mid-life crisis and could that be the reason he wants to be with a younger woman?

You bet he is! Some men go through it as grouchy, a little depressed and sink into themselves, while other men flow through it with a fair amount of ease. Then there are the men that get a new hairstyle (providing they still have hair) new clothes and are eyeing all the young girls. As long as they don't take any action on this, it's quite normal for men and women to try and recapture their youth. Getting old ain't all it's cracked up to be! LOL It the medical field it is no longer classified as "midlife crisis" but, "male menopause." Don't you just love that one! LOL It's true. Men go through hot flashes, mood swings, but not to the extent as some women can go through. My brother is turning 57 and he was complaining to his wife that he was having hot flashes. She is also going through her menopause. She told him he was going through male menopause and of course he got huffy with her. He went to the doctors and lo and behold he was having "hot flashes" and was into male menopause! I thought I would wet myself when my brother begrudgingly told me. Many women realize men go through a male menopause, but most men (including male doctors) refuse to admit to it until they have to deal with the symptoms. My husband is a sweet guy, turning 60 this August and he too has been suffering from hot flashes, his appetite on and off, not sleeping all that well (night sweats) and a little forgetful at times. He admits he is in male menopause. It's not the worst thing that can happen to man or woman. However, this is no excuse for your husband to stray. If he is talking this way nip it in the bud and say something like, "Well, do you think I'm entirely happy all the time and if you think you can go out and find a young chick, then think about this one .... there are a couple of guys out there I've had my eye on too! Tit for tat Jack!" Seriously say these very words to him because men think they have their little lives wrapped up in a neat little box and they are the only ones that have these feelings of recapturing their youth. Let him know how you feel and don't let him get away with this! I can guarantee you that if you mention the fact you have had your eye on a couple of guys he will DEMAND who these men are. LOL It's a hoot. Enjoy the ride! Good luck Marcy
