Mysterious dissappearing husband - theories needed!

[nerdgirl]

One of my neighbours husbands has moved out and the poor woman in mystified. I promised to post on MN and see if anyone has any theories.

They had been happily married for seven years before (after some trying) they conceived. Their son is three years old and his father adores him BUT never wanted children and has gone off his wife completely in the last three years.

He was always quiet and reserved but now he's clubbing and pubbing and partying.

The current favourite theory is some kind of mid-life crisis.

I leave it to the collective wisdom of MN. What do you think?

alicatsg, can I ask why your friend's DH behaved like this - was it another woman or mid-life crisis or both?!

I think perhas he has gone to ooh what are those words some men use-find himself that will be it.When he has had his fun he will be back if i were your neighbour i would make sure i changed the locks before that happens.

Not sure she has the stomach to lock him out Joanna. He pays the bills and their son completely adores him and resents her terribly for 'sending his daddy away'.
