The Mid-life Crisis. by Toks2008(m): 10:07pm On Jul 01, 2017 |
According to Wikipedia;A midlife crisis is a transition of identity and self-confidence that can occur in middle aged individuals. While it is universally believed that this crisis occurs in individuals of 40 years and beyond, I have come to realize that this is also applicable in our romantic affairs with the opposite sex at different ages. In most cases,after marriage,Many men still live as though they are still single and they would still make decisions without carrying their wives along,act foolishly and irrationally. Some married ladies on the other hand just get married just for the sake of bearing that Mrs but still live their life as single ladies and lacking the vital qualities of a genuinely married lady. The mid life crisis of the man is usually any period from age 30 to 50 when he is expected to be married while that of a lady can be any period from age 20 to 35. The period varies from one person to another but it is one phase most people must pass through and while some people are disciplined enough to control the crisis,some allow the crisis control them. As we progress in age,the crisis usually reduces...During the mid life crisis of a man from age 30 when he is usually ready for commitment,there is an inner crisis he experiences when he will keep asking if he is really ready for commitment thereby exhibiting some crazy acts that may likely make the lady leave the union....but as he grows in age,he begins to overcome the crisis and by the time he is approaching the 40s or 50s,he suddenly realizes the need to get a grip of himself. For the lady,at the age of 20 to 25 she just does not care and to her it's about catching fun and as she approaches age 30 she starts to realize the need to calm down and once she clocks 35 and above,there is an unexplained calmness that she starts to exhibit. The bottom line is that most marriages that crash could actually survive if they can only tolerate their spouse at this passing phase.*This is the secret of marital longevity. Domestic violence is also part of mid life crisis but it's never an act to tolerate but can be reported to the authorities so that it can be checked. Stay in your marriage cos every marriage has its own peculiar problems..just be determined Don't know if this makes sense. 31 Likes 2 Shares

I think the major reason most relationships and marriages fail today is because the man feels there is no need to notify the woman before he makes any decision that affects the family. I don't know if this is as a result of the fact that he thinks the woman is too impatient. To the men, please respect your women and always seek their opinion in ANY decision you are about to make. Ps: If you're in ANY abusive relationship —be it psychologically, sexually and any other area— just QUIT 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Toks2008:my brother you dont get it...Many believe that men go through a midlife crisis when they are in middle age. Not quite. Many middle-aged men do go through midlife crises, but it's not because they are middle-aged. It's because their wives are. From the evolutionary psychological perspective, a man's midlife crisis is precipitated by his wife's imminent menopause and end of her reproductive career, and thus his renewed need to attract younger women. Accordingly, a 50-year-old man married to a 25-year-old woman would not go through a midlife crisis, while a 25-year-old man married to a 50-year-old woman would, just like a more typical 50-year-old man married to a 50-year-old woman. It's not his midlife that matters; it's hers. When he buys a shiny-red sports car, he's not trying to regain his youth; he's trying to attract young women to replace his menopausal wife by trumpeting his flash and cash. 7 Likes |

Cholls: This angle you dey go pass me. What I'm talking about is varying ages that determines mid life crisis in both sexes and a 50 year old man must be ready to cope with that crisis that might be experienced by the 25year old lady. Little wonder why most older men know how to treat a lady cos they have passed that stage of inner crisis |
