Midlife Crisis???

It does happen to many and some react quite different. I suppose when one reaches middles age they are a bit more relaxed and able to do more than when they were younger.

I think that this is like the infant colic - everybody knows that this exists but in fact it is a mistery. From my experience I can say that all the crisis in my life was caused by a bad experience, they had nothing to do with the age.

One of the tendencies of the person who goes through such a stage is to ask many questions about his life, the decisions we took in the past, but also the direction that his life will take now.You could say that both women and men going through a period in which they are confused about their person and their life before. Both the women and men, the crisis is characterized by: the satisfaction of certain needs that have been neglected or partially neglected. Most readily available examples include: women care more than physical appearance,wearing clothes that she'd wanted to wear them 10 years ago, in bright colors and bold textures and about men who go through this stage: they want independence, free time for hobbies,friends, extravagant spending and the list goes on. In addition, men tend to focus on their professional life and try to get more results than they got, perhaps, in their entire career so far. Women, in contrast- the more so as they have managed to achieve career success - tend to more closely evaluate their personal successes in life and to focus especially on the success achieved by them as wives, as mothers and as a lover.
