The extreme day trip. Flying off for a shopping adventure with daughter (if I understand it correctly) sounds fantastic!
I agree with the misrepresentation of “crisis”. MLC is popular comedic trope in many RomCom type Hollywood endeavours. Pretty much guaranteed none of the writers have actually witnessed a true midlife crisis.
And then there is emotional turmoil, life transitions, loss, grief, depression, and so on; sometimes getting labelled “crisis” as well. Of course, “crisis” is somewhat of a spectrum, so that’s understandable. Yet, a full blown MLC is truly a horrible thing.
The longevity, damage, complete alien-ness of a MLC is remarkable, incredulous. I think anyone, before having any first hand experience with such, has the prejudice and comedic default that society has programmed us with. I know I had. To me, MLC just meant some guy buys a nice red sports car. Ha, not even close. It’s so consuming and enveloping. And a crisis will take as long as it takes.
A MLCer loses the plot so badly. Just look at your H - break up and make up, 10 times! Truly staggering. And yet so script-like.

Absolutely! At first, it all sounds so wrong.
