Marriage There is no cure for midlife crisis, but it goes a long way if you can recognize its symptoms and understand that it happens to men as well as women. I was terrified of being forty, not because it meant I was forty but it meant that for a few years I was going to be vulnerable at my weakest point (which just happens to be slightly overweight women) and all I could do was grit my teeth and pray it wouldn't hit too hard.
It hit once, after some persuasion my wife came to terms with it and, like the sound barrier, I was through and relatively unscathed. I can easily imagine some people are totally destroyed by it.
It's a very real phenomenon, and I suppose different people react differenly to it; getting red highlights, becoming a lesbian, spending four hours a day in tears, working as a teacher's aide in Thailand; it hits everyone differently.
