Many/most people go through it. Sometimes beneficial, other times it can impact negatively on friends and family.
We work hard, stuck in the 40/40/40 scam and at a certain stage in life we decide we need a change.
Whether this is inspired by despair, boredom or just a physiological change, it seems to hit us at about 40-50 years of age. Sadly, several of my mates decided that they needed some fresh excitement missing in their lives in the arms of other women. This had led to broken families and friendships.
At 40, I bought a muscle car when I probably shouldn't have, with a mortgage and all, but the wife accepted this compromise (considering what several of our friends went through). I do consider myself lucky to have an understanding wife. She went through a change of life at 50 and decided on a big rock on her finger can bring her out of her depression! The lying Bitch! Lol! Anyway, the end justifies the means and all is well.
What weird/wonderful things have you done to alleviate that insatiable 40 year itch?
Changed gender? Tried skydiving? Swam with sharks? Or just drink a lot?
Started school last year right after I turned 44 years old. I'll graduate in roughly 8 months and I'll be 45 starting a new career.
Currently, I'm the oldest student in my school. I'm older than the night time pre-salon instructor and only 8 years younger than my salon floor instructor/assistant administrator. We get along quite well and I found out we live in the same small town. Once I graduate, there will be no more rule against communicating with the students/teacher outside of school, so we have plans to hang out then.
