writes:What do you think how common mid-life crises is? Are there many marriage brakes down from the husband's mid-life crises? And what do you think, what are the sign's of that? I see several of my friends, that their husband is leaving with a young woman, after several years of sexless marriage. They are grumpy, they dont want sex, and than they totally turn around with a young woman , or a high school sweetheart. Is this an epidemic? What is your experience, how common is this? My husband is off sex with me, and his mood is very bad, he complains about pain and aches, and just generally depressed. I think , he is on the way to this stereotype of midlife crises. What do you advice to me to do, he is pretty stubborn, and not very cooperative. How can I save our 24 year long marriage? Thanks

 I think you should encourage him to see his doctor to make sure there isn't some underlying physical reason for all this first. Once you have ruled out physical you can start discussing mental. A lot of those mid-life crisis’s are due the natural aging process and medications can help.

 I'd try to talk to him, first. See if you can get him to open up on his own about what's going on in his head. If that doesn't work, try therapy. You both owe it to yourselves, and to your 24 year long marriage to try and make it work before you decide to call it quits. I'm not married, so I can't speak from experience but unless you two start communicating better it'll just downhill like it would in any other relationship, married or not.
