Quote from: Michele Weiner-Davis
It's natural for you to take your husband's / wife's mid-life crisis personally. Don't. It is likely being triggered by something else.

Quote from: Michele Weiner-Davis
Don't debate your spouse over the legitimacy of their feelings during their mid-life crisis. This often results in even more polarization.

Quote from: Michele Weiner-Davis
Have faith that your spouse will get through his/her mid-life crisis. It may be hard, but act as if life will go back to normal soon.

For those of who are "fix it addicts" in your relationship, it's possible that you are making matters worse. Next time, do nothing.

Although VERY difficult, your marriage is more likely to survive during an affair if you give your spouse space.
