The Question

What are the signs when a male midlife crisis ends? How do we know? Do they show their feelings and normality to their family that they lost?

Noel's response

Although it is by no means universal, when a midlife crisis ends, the man is different than he was before it started. He may be more 'settled' within himself, may be more emotionally available, and may relate more kindly to his family, even if he has lost it.

He may decide he wants to be part of the family again, but it is just as likely that he won't, as he will be a different person than he was before the MLC.

signs of male mid life crisis when ended
by: Anonymous

hi noel,

your last answer you said after the male midlife crisis ends, i asked what signs are there and you said he may want to be a part of the family as he will be different. And he may not be a part of the family.

Does that mean he cannot feel the connection of what we meant to him before, or just does not want the responsibility of his family, and if so why take on another woman with the same responsibilities, while we are kept as the strangers from the past?

Will he not realize that we are his family that loves him or has that been lost as well in this mlc coma.

Noel's response:

He may or may not realize you are his family that loves him. It varies from person to person.

Sometimes the 'midlife affair' ends at the end of the midlife transition, and sometimes it carries on to a long-term relationship.

Sometimes the man goes back to his wife, and sometimes that relationship no longer works for him.

He usually, but not always, will want a closer relationship with his children, even if he does not want to be back with his wife.
