loriusgarrulus Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 You have got married recently. Lots of work, lots of planning and excitement. You and your Mrs would have been in the thick of it before and on the day and the centre of attention. Its quieter now and back to the normal world. Its bound to feel a bit empty now it's all done.

This makes a lot of sense, guessing with the wedding having taken time and money and focus your wondering what's next? Must also be harder doing 6 days a week knowing it's your own business, everyone needs to be able to relax and get away from work, enjoy the camping with the family 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pushkin Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 As you say - life has been hard/difficult for you over the years: Love for your kids seems to have been the constant throughout all that and now, you have been blessed with a beautiful young wife who has your best interests at heart and loves you madly. Take great succour from that my friend and count your blessings daily and continue to enjoy your new great life with the family.

shalfordninja33 Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 TT I’m 42 and can relate to much of what you’ve posted. I’m married with 2 kids and have certainly had those empty feelings in recent times. I reflect on how far I’ve come and how I’m blessed to have a beautiful wife and children. We’re having our house pretty much rebuilt and having our family home knocked about is affecting me more than I thought. It great to hear the words of others and realise we’re not unique in these feelings. Its finding what’s causing them that’s the difficult part! all the best.

islandgun Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 I think mid life crisis is a misnomer. the crisis seems to hit the over 50's, they are the ones that adopt strange hair styles to compensate for receding hair lines, usually early retired accountants they can also be found astride Harley's often in groups of up to 30. once having left the Tesco cafe they take it in turns overtaking camper vans on blind bends. they seem to like going to John o Groats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are plagued with them on Thursday evenings and Sunday mornings. Hundreds, literally. When I see them with helmets off at the truckstop, they are all either grey or bald (including the women). Their road-hogging attitude makes me v angry and there's no way I will drive in the gutter to let them past, which seemingly is the reason for their gesticulations when following me. I wont be intimidated and I happily flick the V to them. On the mid-life crisis point, I have a theory which says that a major contributory factor to middle age dissatisfaction is the realisation that we haven't achieved what modern-day media suggests we should have (luxury holidays several time a year, big fast car etc etc). In reality of course, all we need is reasonable health for ourselves and our families, a roof over our heads, food on the table and some time to relax. Anything else is superfluous IMHO.

You are right on what’s expected. i often tell myself I’m lucky that I owe nothing really beside a mortgage and I’m grateful for that.

Thursday nights at the midway are a nightmare. Can almost guarantee a fatality within a 20mile radius of Prees heath on a Thursday evening.

crossy 666 Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 TT money doesn’t always make you happy trust me. I work hard and I’m lucky enough to not have to worry about money but just because I have some don’t mean I’m happy. When your dad started his company I can bet you things were not easy for him and he has built the business up to pass onto you as he tries to slow down. It’s now on your shoulders to continue what he started for your family then maybe in time you can do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
