She's ready for a change..

[R_C]

So the stereotype is of the man who when having his so called mid life crisis dumps the wife/girlfriend of a certain age for someone barely out of high school and an IQ on par with her dress size.

Well.

In my experience, I have found that when a lot of women reach the age of forty or so, they begin to do a sort of inventory of their life. That’s when they begin to contemplate a change in career, starting a business, going back to school and if they are childless, adopt a child and so on. But before any of this starts, they almost always begin to look at Mr. Wonderful over there on the settee (“yow, Sharon, mi look inna di fridge an never si any patty yuh noh, yuh neva buy any patty laas night ?, look from when mi deh ask yuh fi buy some ! Choh ! ) and quietly say to themselves.....<span style="font-style: italic">Lord, I am in serious need of an upgrade here.</span>

So is this not a mid-life crisis too or is this something more noble ?

Is it a mid-life crisis or do we look on what's sitting on the settee and say &quot;lord why have I been short changing myself all these years&quot; a mid-life crisis suggests an individual who makes impulse decisions based on the fact that they are afraid of falling into the stereotypical midlife setting, you know the type; a sedan, wife and kids at college, these ppl fear aging, they seek out new ways to &quot;revive&quot; their youth.

With us, it's not the case. We don't fear aging, infact we love to age and do it gracefully.

I like to think of it as taking inventory of our lives and replacing the things that need replacing. Often times we replace furniture, update our wardrobe, switch our decor in our homes, purchase a new car sometimes we retire the man we are with.

He's just not cutting it anymore. It's that simple.

oops was that too harsh?

it's not a mid life crisis, it's just a change that has to be made.

nutt'n nuh worse than hitting 40 and lookn over pan di settee and realise that if you had to sit on the porch with this man inna yuh golden years yuh wd most likely be charged for murder fi push him awfa di porch wid yuh walkin stick and prison is no joke for a 60 yr old so in the interest of self-preservation yuh juss a guh leff from now.

what we want at 20 isn't what we want at 40 and nothing is wrong in re-evaluating things just as long as you go about it the right way

Re: She's ready for a change..

Wouldn't that be a little late fir such an ultimatum?

I mean I think she should give ultimatums when the options are more in her favor.

Like in the 30,s or so.

That's not to say she have no options. At 40,but the options may be between similar choices.

Between dumb 20 yearolds and daft middleagers. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Rollin_Calf</div><div class="ubbcode-body">...as for finding religion and no more rooksing till wi marriage..

BOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not sure if it is better or worse to realize it at a younger age, but I have been there when I was in my 20s! Either way, you are looking at a life sentence. Once it starts to seem like six in one hand/one half dozen in the other, something indeed has to give in the interest of self-preservation.
