It happens to all of us. I’m 50 yr Old and went through much of it in my 40s. The light at the end of the tunnel is as such.. at first the regrets set in. Later, you learn how to manage those feelings of regret and somehow come to an “acceptance” of “this is how things turned out, and it’s meant to be this way”... When things begin to turn around and really get better is when you transition out of the “acceptance” phase and into a phase of “embracement” - where you now have learned to truly “embrace” all that has been given to you or not given to you and you begin to find ways to live a life that uses and make the best of what circumstances were handled to you. I know it sounds cliche but moving into this phase has helped me tremendously. For me, it was being single at 40, never married, no children, etc. I eventually came to the mindset that I was going to wake up every day appreciating my time given to improve myself and make the best body - physically, emotionally and mentally for myself. Nowadays, I’m at a point in life where I wouldn’t have it any other way. That’s ultimately the best position to be in. I also found it helpful for me to volunteer at a senior living facility, and a homeless shelter. You’ll find it helps to take your mind off of your issues by helping others cope with theirs.
My husband is having a midlife crisis, he's destroying our family. I want to save us, while he's destroying us. We are currently separated as of 4 months now. He had a younger girlfriend right after I left (couldn't handle his up and down mood swings and him pushing me and our daughters away while I was seven months pregnant) Them broken up after two months. I miss my husband want us to fix it badly, he's almost child-like. Hope he gets help.
Can you do a program on midlife crisis in Women too? This also reminds me of Carey Nieuwoffs book Didn't See it Coming. Seems this season of life resembles disillusionment and or burnout even in young adults.
I remember this time. I was having trouble retaining things, i was having seizures and I didn't know. It came from a number of things. Basically I was working outside a lot in early 50s. I drank a lot of water. Flushed potassium and sodium out of my body and I didn't know this. By 58, I had gone through 2 surgeries, radiation treatment, then father and mother died, then my brother died. I totaled 3 vehicles in 6 months and I was slowly losing ability to retain things so by 57, I was lost. If you don't work, be able to drive yourself, what is there. I had asked Jesus to forgive my sins and come into my heart. I talked a lot God. It doctors 4 years to realize I was having seizures and what caused it. After this I was angry no one knew I was having seizures and scared because I didn't know what I was on this earth. I knew God had a purpose for me or I would be dead. So I'm struggling with this when an opportunity came up so I could train, learn again things I lost, get updated on technology and praise God, use my brain and be of help to others. God opened the door, gave me favor, and I praise God he loved me that much. I'm so happy I'm training for a job I care about and helping the elderly. Being older and coming into my golden years isn't a nightmare now but a pleasure.

Mid Life Crisis is a nuclear bomb, y’all just described a speed bump of mid life. My wife left the family and your talking about men struggling? Milk toast Christmas radio show.

Did Stephen read Carl Jung? I read Every Young Man's Battle, and listening to this it sounds like he's describing Jung's male hero's journey.

I wish the nest was empty. 2 grown sons almost 25 and almost 24 are still at the house who do what they want regardless of what me and my husband say.
My husband of almost 16 years can't seem to be 100% faithful to me. I've found flirty conversations 3 different times despite my protests.

Hasn’t Steven been divorced a couple of times. I think he is married to a younger woman.
