Last night my husband asked me how I thought he could be more cool. First of all, what? I told him he should find something he's passionate about, pursue that, and as his own self-serenity and happiness grow that will show the world how cool he is; then he'll meet someone who shares that passion, fall in love and make a life together. Oh wait, that's already happened. Who do you need to be more cool for?! He never did answer. I followed up with asking if he thought I was "cool". His answer - no more cool than he is. (By the way, that's the wrong answer.)
Is this what a mid-life crisis looks like? Oh, here we go - I googled it and got this from iVillage:
8 Warning Signs That Your Man is Having a Midlife Crisis. Here's the list:
- He says life is a bore
- He is thinking about (or already) having an affair
- He is suddenly making impetuous decisions about money and/or his career
- He makes a dramatic change in his personal style or appearance and is suddenly spending lots of time in front of a mirror
- He has little interest in spending time (or having sex) with you
- He is drinking too much or abusing other substances
- He is displaying the classic signs of depression -- sleeping more, loss of appetite, malaise
- He is overly nostalgic and constantly reminiscing about his youth or his first love
Hmmm. This is troubling. A few of these things might apply to me, too. I guess it's time to start looking into two-door sports cars. Or, it just could be that we have three kids.
