The book is called Men in Midlife Crisis by Jim Conway.  He and his wife also wrote Women in Midlife Crisis.

Yes.. that is the book. Men In Midlife Crisis by James Conway. I am looking to read Sally Conways book regarding her experience while her husband was in crisis. This book and letter was sent to my husband via his employer. He had quit his job. So, his ex-boss called him and told him there was a package there for jim. My husband told me he read the letter over and over. Said he copied it and was going to bring me a copy ( when he was gone)... but he did not. He showed it to me when he emptied everything he owned from the back of his truck... and piled it in the garage. Most of his thing still reside in the garage. That letter has been magneticed to my frig for months. Thought i would share. And I want him to see it everyday. My husband absolutely talks about being a "speaker" some day... and wanting to "pay it forward" and help if he can . He needs to continue to heal himself and this marriage 1st. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about it.

As others have said I thank you for sharing.  Brought me to tears.  Though what I'm going through is very hard, at least I have my children's support.  I just pray that my h comes out of this before it's too late.  I hurt just thinking about the pain he will suffer when he finally wakes up.

Wow. Someone really gave him that? Maybe we should set up pen pals or find out who that guy was and have him send it to all of our spouses.

He cannot remember when he got it. He was out of the house from Sept 2nd until early December. He "thinks " he got it in mid October. I was attending a Divorce and Separation Support Group at Calvary Church. I talked about MLC at the group ( 2 other womwn in the same boat) . There were 4 men in this group. I lost it one evening... bawled like a baby and just in horror that i would be in a divorce group. I suspect it was from one of the men in this group. Cannot figure out anything else.

If I send you H's address, will you mail him a copy?
