Is it Midlife Crisis, Walkaway Spouse or the End?

[Gordie]

Wayward, MLC, was? Not sure it matters. Women in mid life crisis was eye opening to me. It was on the recommended reading list here. Here's what you've said: w is in her empty nest transition. She's lost 30 pounds and is looking good. She goes away with new friends every weekend. She says she wants d but is still living with you with some concerns about finances. She wishes you paid more attention to her and were more affectionate and generally nicer to her. She doesn't want your compliments.

How much time do you spend together now?

If she felt you didn't pay attention to her enough, your distancing may be more of the same.

Are you reserved? Quiet? Introverted? A nice guy? Do you feel you drifted apart over the years? Are you boring? Predictable? Out of shape? Low energy? A home body? Only you can answer those questions. Are there things you don't like about yourself irrespective of your w and situation? What do you want to improve to be the best you possible?

Other guy? Sorry, probably. Some guy probably started paying attention to her. Giving her compliments. Looking at her lustfully. And she said my h doesn't treat me this way. I'm not getting any younger. A man hasn't made me feel this way in a long time. I feel alive.
