I had had enough of my darn cold. My nose is red raw and I've got a six pack from all the coughing I've been doing. So I took myself to the doctors office. Waited 3hrs before I saw her. She knows H quite well as H and her son use to live together. I've only seen her once during this past 2 months.
I was her last patient for the evening so we had ample time to talk. It was really more like a counselling session. It helps that she also has a pschy degree. She tells me that she's had quite alot of experience with mid life crisis, even personally. However, she went on to say that because H is only 33 she is questioning if it's more of a quarter life crisis? Which she doesn't have much experience in but we tried to analyse it anyway.
The point she made was that for the MLCer to get through their crisis they need to hit rock bottom. This can be physically, emotionally, financially, etc, etc.
So we tried to apply this to H. Physically he is in great shape. He does the gym twice a day, runs ever other day and plays sport on the weekend. Financially he has alot of credit card debt but he has since received a pay increase of $40k per year and let's face it his pay will only significantly rise every year from now on. Plus we will sell our house next Feb so we will both get money from the sale. So financially he's ok too. Emotionally not sure??? He is with OW and seems to be using her as s bandaid.
We did alot more analysing but too long to get into it. But basically we were questioning how H would ever hit rock bottom. He is young enough to recover from any mistake that comes his way, eg issues with S3 - no problem I'm young enough to have more children.
I'd really love to hear from people that have had experience with quarter life crisis and what the outcome is/was?
