How to know if it's MLC

[Dom R]

Dear Wheretogofromhere,

I can say that age does not mean anything just because it is called midlife crisis. I was 59 and never thought it would happen to me. The fist thing that happen was over a decade of no intimate R with my H and then I become depressed and bored and then I started playing internet games b/c I was bored and then first thing you know I was chatting on the internet and then you can probably guess what happened next. So, unless I live to be nearly 120, I don't think it matters what age you are.

Sandi,

for what it's worth, i dont think you had an MLC.
I think you had a "My marriage sucks, i want something better" episode

MLCs are all about the person. If their spouse was not there, it would still happen.

What you went through, was all about the relationship between your husband, and yourself.
That's different from a "Midlife crisis".


Not everyone who has an affair, is going through MLC.
