Mid life crises last about 2-5 years in women

[Haole Girl]

I suppose it could be worse, they say 3-10 years in men.

Just passing through, this morning, with that little bit of trivia.

1. Oh dear

So I have at least a couple more years to go...

:cry:

[Haole Girl]

2. We'll get through it!

Hold on!

:hug:

3. What did you ladies do to deserve such a short MLC?

Guess that's God's way of balancing out that childbirth thing...

4. I wonder what they define as midlife

I think if I live to be 80 I will be at mid-life in a couple years. :hi:

5. When are they suppose to start for men and women?

[Haole Girl]

8. I wondered that too...

At about 40, give or take 20 years (both genders). I know that doesn't help much. It really depends on the individual, I think.

6. Well 3-10 years sounds wonderful :(

not

I'd say I've had sporadic bouts with this starting after age 40, but it has been advanced by life's circumstances.

I fear that I will become the stereotypical midlife crisis'er, soon to be driving a convertible. :shrug:


At any rate, I'm there.

The only "good thing" is that it's a normal thing I guess.

7. Mine was exactly 2 years

9. Hopefully I got mine done between 31 and 34.

I'm not ready for another one again.

10. Jesus, I hope that's not half a life!

[SarahB]

11. I hope not either.

I just don't want to deal with any more major "life transition moments". I'm still recovering from the last one. :D

12. so, when does a mid-life crisis happen these days? n/t

[Bridget Burke]

13. I've never understood "mid life crisis"....

It sounds as though you think you have things together & all is perfect. Then, you realize that's not true.

I've never been that smug.

14. Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me

I only wish it had come 20 years sooner.

15. Duly noted. I shall brace myself for the inevitable.
