Does this sound like a midlife crisis?

The Question
Hello.

My boyfriend left after four years. Said it was all him not me, and I did nothing to cause it. AT random times through our relationship I saw him look in mirror and worry about love handles. I saw him buy shoes he would wear in highschool.

He thought about retiring from a job he loved earlier to start a militaristic job at age 37. At times he said he felt trapped or confined. He says feels numb and empty.

He is not the person I saw for four years. Does this sound like midlife crisis?

Noel's response

Yes. He is worried about aging, has lost interest in a job he used to love, feels numb and empty... all classic symptoms of a midlife transition.
