I seem to have been struck by the early 40s lady implosion for the second time mad

Firstly my wife went off the rails in her 40th year in the hunt for greener grass - it was never there but the train crash that followed still has wreckage all around. I moved on as best I could and have been in a great relationship with a fantastic lady for the past 6 years(it's had its wobbles but we got through those blips with a few changes), I really thought it was for good, we both fitted like gloves...until a few days ago weeping

The common factor seems to be the "is this as good as it gets, is this it for the rest of my life" questions that arrive in their birthday cards and leaves them questioning everything around them. I had a really good chat with our Occy Health Manager a few years ago and she told me a whole chunk of her friends had done just the same in their early 40s. It seems everything has to go up in the air, wreckage ensues and then it's all back to normal(apart from the disaster that's left behind).

Ok, I realise it might be just me and I'm crap at love and families but FFS, will you please stop this behavior and just buy a TVR(or handbag, or whatever presses your pretty little buttons).

Gutted and broken-hearted again of Cambs.

A couple of months of getting shagged ragged and she'll probably get bored and be back in touch wanting to rekindle things. Just trying to look on the brightside.

You said she's got wobbles now and no longer fits like a glove, and she probably doesn't bother bleaching her moustache anymore either, you're best rid.

With my ex, it was a case of her dad dying that kicked her thinking up a gear. Didn't help that I was bored of things, too. #IStillGoToSleepWearingHerWeddingDress15YearsOn weeping

Tony, sorry to hear that.

Cheer up mate. They're not all the same and at least you now know how to get out and meet another one.

Variety is, after all, the spice of life!

Cheers mate, I should bring them around to yours, point and say "That's how it should be done!"

Good advice on going for a "1" and enjoying the next 9, mine was 37 when we started so I guess I did well to get to her 43rd...

Quite. Wimmins in their 50s (or older) will be grateful to have you.

Women in their 40's are best sampled when you are in your 20's.

That works, until you find yourself with 2 toddlers in your 50s, I'd sooner cut my nuts off
