Would this concern you about your DH?MID LIFE Crisis?

[Imworried]

...I'm pretty certain he's heading for some kind of early mid life crisis and I just don't know how to help him.

Dh grew up with and studied with a guy who very recently has become quite a player in the UK celebrity circuit-his career is soaring. I know this is really eating dh up. He has started to become a bit obsessed and is now recording everything this guy is on, buying newspapers to see if anything else has been written about him etc (he was never really a fan of other TV or tabloids)

He has also mentioned how he feels bad about letting himself go and has told me he'd like to take a few months off work so he can lose weight and go to the gym (WTF?)He also feels that he would like to jack in his job move back to London to have a stab at what he studied.

Part of me wants to be sympathetic but another part of me wants to slap him and tell him not to be such an idiot. I guess I'm just panicking that he is gloing to work himself up into thinking his life is really crap and that the grass is greener.

it was just a very quick thought - at least then you could cover your mortgage with the rent from your house.

i'm presuming you'd get maternity allowance/smp? not enough to live on (definitely not in london!) but it's a start.

i agree with you that now IS NOT the time to think about doing all this - he needs to be a bit more considerate. you sound like a lovely supoprtive partner, after all you're not saying don't do it, just don't do it now, right?! xxx

Thanks Urban. I try to be but right now it's not just him that's trapped I feel that his turnaround has trapped me somewhat too. I just feel that I can't really help him at all which makes me feel crap.
