How to Survive Your Husband's Midlife Crisis: Strategies and Stories from The Midlife Wives Club

It is unfortunate that so many marriages are falling prey to midlife crisis (if you want to call it that). Point is our disposable society makes it too easy to divorce. This book is a pratical guide to help you traverse this journey. Not only is the book an easy read and very helful in understanding and keeping yourself in check, it really focuses on learning about yourself and not talking blame for your wayward spouses issues. It helps you be a better you! As well, the website listed is a direct link to others suffering the same things. That site has so much information, one could read for days. There is also chat which is helpful and one bonus is that friends can be made to last a lifetime. This book has it all and I implore anyone in the throes of this anxiety called midlife crisis to read this book and then peruse the site for loving and supportive help. It is a truly a gift to know you are not alone.

Although informative, this book comes from a very negative place. While some men do participate in affairs during their midlife crisis, there are some who don't, as well as those who come to their senses and want to work on their marriages. For those searching for hope, handling the issue with realistic expectations and integrity, I would suugest Jim and Sally Conway's books, "Men in Midlife Crisis" and "Your Husbands Midlife Crisis."

However, the website that is suggested in the book is worth the purchase price many times over.

This book has many sad stories and unfortunately I feel that most people do not locate such books until the crisis has overwhelmed them. How is it that I, a well-read person, knew so very little about mid-life crisis? This topic isn't discussed sufficiently in our culture as far as I can tell. Finding good books is also difficult.

I ranked this as four stars simply because the beginning has typos and plugs the Midlife Wives Club website repeatedly. With some trouble, I was able to access their site but it was so depressing I didn't return. Sharing one's anguish is sometimes helpful, yet, I was more interested in the psychological motivations triggering the crisis affecting my relationship. In my opinion this book did not actually provide that type of information.

What this book does tell you is that you are not alone. You are bound to read the stories of others that are far worse than your own situation and that may give you some encouragement.

If you are considering this book, I wish you all the very best. I would recommend, besides this book, Gail Sheehy's "Understanding Men's Passages" which explains what typically is happening during a man's mid-life crisis with compassion. "What Could He Be Thinking" by Michael Gurian is excellent in describing the male and female brains and hormones; it sheds light on why we think and feel differently, thereby closing that "imaginary gap" that seems to crop up during the crisis. (It was always there because we are simply very different.) Also, "Why Can't You Read My Mind" (a terrible title) by Jeffrey Bernstein was very helpful. It helped me understand the toxic thoughts that I was having (due to feeling emotional pain) and helped me recapture the positive attitude and emotions I had prior to our crisis. Last, I recommend a very heavy read (with a too tiny font), "Love Online Emotions on the Internet" by Aaron Ben-Ze'ev. This is a real study of love, sex and relationships in cyberspace and the emotions behind it all. The author does an excellent job of presenting his information without bias or judgment, but it is very intellectual and a rather difficult read for the average person.
