Do women go through middle age crisis

August 25 2012

I know that there is a common belief that men go through middle age crisis in some form. I needed a life style change at mid 40s because I was not happy at the time. I was just wondering if woman go through the same sort of thing?

    it happens in their 5os,the children are grown and most have left home.They are post menopausal ,and all the things that they either didn't have time for or paid attention too are suddenly important,ncluding their often neglected sexuality. They reinvent themselves and get their groove ,mojo,or whatever you want to call it back,and if their partners have not been paying attention this can come as a bit of a shock.x Hugs H

    Yes I understand but would you agree that also men that have been married or long relationship can also get neglected sexual. All I am trying to say is that both sex can suffer from past neglect for one reason or another.

    I am an evolving woman. From the bake the cup cakes to the, never ending hey mum what’s for dinner T the Wuld you suck my cock it will not take long To the Dive me, pick me up feed me muma muma feed me. Then one day kids are gone and you are divorced and you think now its my turn for a change. I said FUCK IT! Now I do what I want to do, who I want to do, when I want to do them and there is no crisis about it at all. Its rather empowering. I think we all go through changes, physical, mental, emotional and we do it all our lives. Its just at certain times we kind of wake up and go what the fuck am I doing with my life. And we change it. Its the change that people call a crisis, as you step out of your normal behaviour and break from convention.

    But a couple of years ago definitely re-evaluated my sexuality, and my experiences to date . It started me on an unimaginable journey of discovery , exploring and philandering....something that I or any of the people who know me, would never believe if I told them Minxy x

    I think some of them do and I think I might have gone through this a couple of years ago, so I bought a B & S style ute. My friends (fondly) joke that it's my mid life crisis ute.

    I woke up one morning after being with my ex for 25 years and new things had to change for her sake and mine and should have done years earlier. She is with a guy she is totally into now and we are still friends.

    My hair is still the same, no surgeries to change my boobs or body, haven't bought a motorbike (yet - still trying to get the courage to be going 10 kph and not be incased in metal ;-p ), haven't gone back to the homeland to marry someone 20 years younger than me (ok, its illegal - ill go for 15 yrs younger), no red ferrari in my garage but I've had an attitude and outlook change. Woke up one day in January and decided to change my life. Since then, I've been actively seeking out activities that are outside my comfort zone. Pushing the boundaries further and further. And life has never been more fun and fulfilling!

    I baelieve both parties do go through a mid life crisis, could come at any stage, almost like a brain snap, the person doesn't want to be there(in the relationship) any more, for whatever reason, maybe the life experiences together was not what they expected either good or bad, I have heard of many situations where seemingly everything was perfect, the right house, the right job, the right clothes, the right person(or so they think), maybe boredom that it is so perfect?   Who knows what gets into someone's head. Understandable if life has been challenging and less than perfect you would think for certain but when a life less challenging and more so called structually sound falls down it doesn't seem to make sense.

    Of course women go through a mid life crisis, and menopause is not in the mid life crisis catagory.When you get older, alot of the time we get wiser and realise that if you dont get out there and do what it is that you really want to do, life will pass you by and some people will be full of regrets.Look at your mid life crisis as a new chapter, its not a negative thing but something to learn from and you will be surprised how many ppl do encounter a mid life crisis....

    Im 44 & I haven't had a mid life crisis, in fact I'm more confident, happy than I have ever been. I know who I am, what I want , no game playing, & an incredible libido, so for me, I've learnt by my past. So not all of us go through that :)

    I am in a state of rethinking and when you are hitting the 50 you start to think very hard what is left. Went last year to my dads furnale in Germany and it hit me very hard to see all the men and women which are around my dads age....70-80 most of them are sick. So what is left I thought. Maybe I can have sex good sex for another 15 to 20 years that’s nothing..... We are doing all this things for others, most women do we care for partners children dogs mother and fathers and then it hits us>WE DONT WANT ANYMORE. Its time to be wild.....what ever this means for everyone. After my husband died 14 years ago I couldn’t do all this, my youngest was only 9. But I made sure both of my sons wouldn’t see me as a poor little mum who can’t do anything alone. They don’t tell me what to do...they are my friends they know I am on here. We talk about my sexuality. It’s great since 4 years I can do what I LIKE.....because they moved out from home. So now it’s my time...I hope my 20 year prediction is right and I can enjoy my sexuality for another 20 years or longer. Don’t say eeeek.....we will be all there one day and our bodies are crinkly and sagging....but hopefully our minds and sex organs still function. Let the good time roll. Hahah. Litonya

It's been modified to sound like one, however, nothing beats that rumbling sound of a real V8 to make me go weak at the knees! But my little pride and joy does sound pretty amazing though.

    Quoting 'Mischeviouslad' Yes... it absolutely does happen to women...... Age really isnt the determining factor... its more a case of a certain stage of someones life, which most often occurs within a certain age range.I witnessed my own exwife go through her own crisis, at age 35..... identity confusion, stored baggage, life directional dilemma..... it tore our family apart and wasnt a fun time for me. There is a very interesting book that I would promote for men, who suspect their woman is going through it... and it could just save your marriage.... if thats what you want.Survive Your Wifes Midlife Crisis.http://pathpartners.com/products/survive-your-wifes-midlife-crisisNow, the title may sound a little patronising towards women, but, when you realise it was written by a woman who came out the other side of her own crisis, as an education guide to men, with considerable research and input from other women... its a very valuable learning resource.DG

    Gosh I don't think crinkly saggy bodies, I think "way to go ", when I read your words. Sex has no age barriers and should be enjoyed by all,hopefully till the day we take our last breath . I applaud you and wish you lots and lots of sexy fun!

    I'm going through a bit of a transition at the moment, at least career wise. Been a CAD monkey for 17 years, but always wanted to be a pilot, so now I'm training to be a flying instructor. I always said the CAD work was just a means to an end..I guess the main reason I'm taking the plunge now is because the opportunity is there. My ex didn't like my flying - in fact, I had a 16 year hiatus, partly because of her, and partly for other reasons. The desire never went away, and in the last few years really started to gnaw hard at me.It's not easy, however - being a full-time single dad means I can't just bugger off to the bush and do my "apprenticeship" like so many pilots do, and work opportunities are going to be limited in the short term because of that, but at the end of it all, I'll be doing what I was put on this earth to do, and that's what counts.

    My mid-life crisis was kick started by my ex's mid-life crises.   I had a period of about 15 yrs when life wasn't fun and nothing went right. Survived 4 major family crises and a whole lot of other things I won't bore you with.   I decided to make some huge changes to my life and now it seems that the planets have re-aligned and all is good with the world again.   In hindsight I think it's all about evolving and growing and enriching your life so that you don't feel like you've missed out. It's so important to maintain a balance (family/work/fun/achievement) in your life. If you are happy then the flow on effect is those around you will be happy too.   My new attitude is: Taking time out to do things for yourself isn't selfish, it's healthy.   SFxx

    Wow, now I have a name for the restless angst that has me waking longing for sex in the middle of the night, the idea that life is passing me by and I need to get out and do stuff... The kind of stuff that I woulda, shoulda, coulda done when younger. (I was too busy raising kids, working hard and coping with a man who did not appreciate all I had to offer)Now I have the time I am going to spend it 'finding myself'.....and beleive me....for many many years I was lost, even to myself..... Now I have the wisdom to know exactly what I want and the confidence to go about getting it. I have the time to do the things I should have when younger and the maturity to enjoy them. Life can only get better.....
