My wife's midlife crisis

[kiro]

Agreed FM. You need to breath and slow down.

Personally, I wouldn't get a job abroad at this time. Your kids need you around although I can't remember how old they are.

In my situation, I found that these were not the right times to make such big decisions. My mind was not clear enough.

It's better to make small adjustments and move slowly. Going on short trips alone or with your kids is a great idea. Getting involved in a new activity. Making new friends. Etc. These are small things you can do to get your mind off your W and your M.

Read the detaching thread again and continue working on it. You will get there slowly. It gets better with time.

The only reason that people usually ask themselves how long they will stand is because they start to worry about life being too short and worry about missing out opportunities in life. Have faith. Don't let this fear take over your mind. Remember that the fear of aging and missing out is usually the main reason people fall in MLC in the first place. Don't got there. My 2 cents!

Wish you luck. Overall, you seem to be doing great and you seem to know what you need to do.

I just saw this quote (not sure who wrote it) and thought it applied to our situations:

"Keep your head high no matter what happens. You'll be alright. If the moment hurts, do not fall victim to its pain. Look ahead. Focus on what can be. Focus on dreams. You'll make it."
