Naw, desi guys in mid life are too timid and shy to do that ..

Living in western countries does not rule out second marriage.We know of a couple, where husband just did that in Southern CA. He married the other lady, Islamicaly only.

is there any other choice?

I have to run to the kitchen for dinner prep - but i SHALL come back to this later …

Yup "mid-life" crisis..becomes the midriff crisis! They burp out loud.. everything gives them a heartburn or the word "acidity" becomes very common. Eno is in constant supply and so is any antacid..

Re: men and mid life crisis

Yes, we do know a man right here in CA who has married a second wife Islamically. No need for registered marriage I suppose.

So yeah, desi men do go through their hormonal needs as well.

Wht r u doing ?

Re: men and mid life crisis

hmmmmmm.... i'm confused

what is midlife crisis?

The messages so far on this board just shows that they start indulging in "spending"...

I thought midlife crisis is where you don't know what's happening in life, and see no light at the end of the tunnel, and you are basically lost... and you sit down to think about what you went to college for and all of that crap.

so what is midlife crisis?

Re: men and mid life crisis

Midlife crisis is a term coined in 1965 by Elliott Jaques and used in Western societies to describe a period of dramatic self-doubt that is felt by some individuals in the “middle years” of life, as a result of sensing the passing of youth and the imminence of old age. Sometimes, transitions experienced in these years, such as aging in general, menopause, the death of parents, or children leaving home, can trigger such a crisis. The result may be a desire to make significant changes in core aspects of day to day life or situation, such as in career, marriage, or romantic relationships.

Re: men and mid life crisis

Midlife crisis is that insecure part of life when you know that you have entered the 40 plus age group but refuse to accept that you are no longer young, and in that phase, you do things to make you believe that you are indeed a younger person than what your birth certificate tell you.

that is my definition of mid life crisis is

Re: men and mid life crisis

lol - oh acccha now i get it

well I was right about the "insecure" part at least...

hmmmmmm - well i will be a reader on this post in that case - cause neither me nor hubby have reached that i guess....

Re: men and mid life crisis

I thought mid life crisis came because you have everything that your strive for

a house, kids, a great wife and a career and then you get BORED as to what next?

You go and start looking for something to get excited about....

I thought that what it was....

32

Re: men and mid life crisis

maybe it is about living it up before you get too old to enjoy it, thus the fast cars and other pursuits.

I also think it is about finding time and doing things for oneself,

33

Re: men and mid life crisis

Midlife sounds really depressing!

I say dump all men when they start showing signs and find yourself a toyboy!

and that is why God created your twenties. :)

35

only for men. Women are like fine wines that don't bald.

36

Sure Masti - but I think desi women are in some sort of CRISIS all the the time

It starts with "What do I wear to wedding crisis", "my in laws hate me crisis", "I have young kids crisis", My kids are leaving home - what do I do with my life crisis" then menopause -

then they have to deal with the men's mid life crisis.

37

so lady what do you think we women should do when they are going through hormonal need phase?

38

true, but in many cases people are starting out they dont have the money always to buy a merc coupe, they have responsibilities, building a career, building a marriage, having time for kids, saving for that down payment on the house.

They may have a sporty car in the 20's but most really are not in a position to get their dream car, or rather the achievable dream car..(there is a diff)

so you have kids, you get the family hauler, a coupe just wont cut it. Most guys will tell you that there comes a time that for a few years they really dont have much of a personal life or rather they have to give up a lot of what they did.

Men will not go into saying what all they give up that is dear to them for the marriage and for the family. If you look at this forum you will find women complaining about all kinds of things, but you dont see men do the same, because in general they will look at the competing priorities, needs, wants and make a choice and go with it. As the need of those priorities changes, they start giving more importance to their own needs/wants they had sacrificed. Whether its toys, time or entertainment.

39

Re: men and mid life crisis

^ So what about women's needs/wants that are also sacrificed, not to mention beauty that's somewhat lost - they get over it, put everything into their family and don't usually look to getting their toys, jawaani and entertainment back.

..the thread is about men.

open a diff thread and we can go into women's getting over it and thus not pumping billions into botox, plastic surgery, and other such things.
