Buy a nice Harley and you can take the wife for weekend getaways to escape reality for a couple days at a time till the feeling passes. There might even be a nice one in the the classifieds, I see them there occasionally. We see what you’re doing there!

Did you start having hot flashes or are you just moody all the time? I'm only 45, and I've noticed for a couple of years I'll have bouts of depression. Not like overwhelming suicidal depression, just seasons of melancholy / moodiness. Strangely enough, I can tell when I'm in it by being argumentative about every meaningless thing, often on here. You're losing X% of testosterone constantly, science has shown our diets actually cause us men to develop female "estrogen" (especially dairy and foods packaged in plastics), it's a real thing. I'm not drawn to infidelity, or buying stupid expensive toys, that's not how I medicate. Other than being aware of it, and always being communicative about it with my wife, it's never caused any trouble. I don't even know if it's a temporary "midlife crisis", or just normal for all folks. I do think that cleaning up my eating, and rigorous exercise is highly beneficial for me, and again scientifically both of those things help with bodily hormonal balance.

I think my ole man caught it around late 40's early 50's, which was when I was about a junior in highschool. He started drinking a bunch (dad never had alcohol in the house growing up). Anytime we would actually go hunting or fishing(which was super rare) he would say, "I'm just happy to be out here and I don't care if we see or catch a thing." I am all for enjoying nature but this was different. It was like all his drive was gone and he wasn't mad at em anymore. It was a huge buzzkill for me and I didn't want to hunt or fish with him during these years. He didn't ever cheat on my mom or go blow a bunch of money, but he hated his job and was miserable all the time, and miserable to be around. I could see the pain and depression he bore but he thought as the head of the family it was his responsibility to keep it tucked away. My father is the only person I ever looked up to, so it was a huge let down when he was acting this way for a couple years. Around this time he did start working out. He has since stopped all the drinking and is once again fun to hunt and fish with, but it really did a number on our relationship. He never did stopped working out. That joker has arms the size of tree trunks.
If you have a son that you raised right he looks up to you more than you probably realize. Even if he is in the pain in the ass, always wants to argue about everything teenage years he still wants to hang out with you. The worse thing my dad did during those years was push me away. He thought I hated his guts but he wouldn't let me talk long enough to tell him I just wanted to spend time with him.
The big thing that helped my Father get out of it was getting a new job and working out. That and removing his pride enough to talk about how miserable he was.

I had a lot of stuff happen during that time in my life. Lost both parents, lost job of 22 years, got divorced and remarried, dealt with being single father of 3 between the 2. All in a 4 year period. It was tough but I got through it and am doing great at 65 now. I never did a lot of the stuff they say men do in mid life crisis.

The older I've gotten the better I've gotten. Seriously. I just really started hitting my stride as a man, a husband, a father, a friend, etc... when I got to middle age. Mrs. Irish doesn't call me "Mr. Wonderful" for nothin'. I think the whole "Mid-Life Crisis" thing is over blown. Sure you slow down a little, but in my opinino slowing down can make you a better, more thoughtful and focused person. Middle aged people get a lot of awesome stuff accomplished. I personally think that 99% of life is how you perceive it and deal with it. So if you think middle age is good then it's good of you think it's bad then it's bad.

I think in my father's case he might have just been beat down from work, and was just happy to be doing nothing. It came across to me as boring and a waste of time. I am all for being happy with enjoying time on the water or woods regardless if you kill something but not even trying is different.
