Midlife crisis?

[Nancycat]

I'm 52, been married a long time, 2 teenage kids. Generally happy, but not a great sex life.
For the last couple of years, all I want to do is get drunk and go out with friends all the time.
I don't, obviously. I go out to the pubs about once every 3 months. Go to my friends house once every couple of weeks. DH isn't interested in socialising.
I'm presuming it's a midlife crisis, wanting to be young again.I just feel very unsatisfied and bored. Anyone relate?

Why not go out with friends once a week?

Or are they normally unavailable?

I guess your teens are more independent and you have time to think about what you want to do. What interests you?

I know this sounds very immature, but I really just want to party like I did 30 years ago! Dance and snog and laugh. Like I said, midlife crisis.

Well you can dance and laugh with some like minded friends. Not the snogging- you are married.
However it sounds like you are unhappy in your marriage. Would you have counselling or do something to ignite the spark?

I'm with you on that! Society says you have to get married and settle down. Why? I'm out as much as possible. I ain't staying in watching my partner read the newspapers or watch telly. You only live once.
