So a distant cousin of mine, “happily” married for 30 years, with a couple of children and a grand child, suddenly announces to his family that he is planning to marry a second wife who he met at his workplace and is 21 years old.
His family is obviously shocked but the dude has made his decision. The other thing is that he still loves his wife and she can’t find any issues with their relationship other than this major new development. She’s now confused about the next step as in whether to move out or just accept this. He is otherwise a great gentleman, a loving father, a great provider and so while everyone is very taken aback, there isn’t any drama or anger. Just confusion.
So, dear Life1 psychologists, please discuss, and shower us with your 2 cents.

Well ok 3/4 life crisis, I just don't think its normal for a man to be so selfish after raising a family with a woman. I dunno. It's not all about instant gratification. He should automatically seek joy in his fam and wife.

That gives me an idea or two. Thanks Niks, I should meet your cousin.
Sure. You want me to set an appointment?

He should. But there are so many shoulds in our lives. Why does one go astray?
