What's the best way to help a man through a midlife crisis?

@nedkelly I see it has to be something with a V-twin!

@nedkelly A beautiful era for design. I remember seeing a Brough Superior on the road once back in the Sixties. Someone was visiting a neighbour. And maybe one or two in museums. Pretty rare and exclusive.

@carpediem Good point. What about son?

@AbbeyRhode Completely different story. I have yet to cross that bridge, but I would think getting back to extended family dinners might help. Keep him out of trouble. As I recall, my midlife crisis involved being places I shouldn't have been.

@carpediem I accept those points but that’s what the art of conversation is for. When things went wrong in my previous marriage and I was begging for the help to fix it from him and he knew the problem and it was fixable, I made it plain how desperate the situation was getting so he was in no doubt where it would lead. Then he had no reason to be surprised when I filed for divorce. Men need to make sure their wives/partners know what a desperate predicament they find themselves in, make themselves heard then if they still go elsewhere that’s on the wife/partner.

@Primnproper Good communication. That's the most important single attribute a couple can share. Those who see and value its importance flourish. Those that don't suffer or are driven apart.

It takes two people to fix a problem in marriage. Shame he never understood what you were trying to make him see.

@carpediem oh he’s understood he just had no inclination or drive to fix it then regretted it soon after sadly.
