I had a good one myself

I started going to the gym and I bought some stuff to make your hair look all surfy

you want you r hair to look surfy?

think mine is my iopd fetish

dh becoming obsessed with golf

me gym/diet and shopping

Men buying motorbikes or sports cars.
Women buying leather trousers.

I thought it would be a good thing, yes

what can I say? The balance of my mind was affected

Witnessed a horrible one. Good friends. Lovely family. 2 children. Youngest goes off to uni. Father moves out of house within weeks.

Grows goatee beard. Has girlfriend - which has obv been going on a while. Encourages his girlfriend to play tennis in a group that includes his ex-wife. Ex-wife then discovers girlfriend is using HER daughter's membership card to use the tennis club.

Attends a function with the girlfriend that the ex-wife and children are also at and spends the whole night snogging and groping girlfriend to the point that the club manager had to speak to them.

And he was very well respected till then.

good lord budababe!

Oh yes - was v. religious!

we had a party and invited a mate of dhs ans his new squeeze( she divorced he about 45

they stood int he corner and NECKED the whoel night
all mymate said the next day " who were the snoggers?"

Ooo tell me about the surfy hair stuff Franny.

My mates dh left her with a 3 week old baby (ar$e) - wanted his life back - goes off with his younger workmates clubbing and the like. Oddly just as she gets back on her feet and is enjoying life without him he pitches back up.

In our circle it seems to be divorce so far. But everyone else is trying to maintain the image that they are too young to have a midlife crisis yet.

adn you say " kick him to the curb girrrrlfrein..?"

adn roffle at leather trousers.

alwasy a bd bad look unless you are she and in htis pic she seems ot haev skinned a teddy bear

.

One in the meeja always amuses me.

That Lembit Opek (sp) bloke going off with a Cheeky Girl after being with that weather woman with the square face for years.

lol

Witnessing my stupid twunt of a db going through one at the moment. Someone needs to learn his ass some respect.

usually a motorbike, in my parents' circles.

Then, because they haven't ridden a bike for 20 years, and bikes are 3 times faster than they used to be, they promptly fall off, drop the bike, scuff their leathers, deposit bike in the shed and tell everyone what a hardcore biker they were until they had their big smash.

ex h ran off to thailand to "heal himself" after we split, met a 21 yr old bargirl over there (he is 45), and got her pregnant, baby was born a few weeks ago

he now has 2 families on opposite sides of the world, neither of which he can support

then tells me how much he is suffering from missing the kids we had (er noone made him go to asia ffs, but apparently the pain i caused him by having a non existent affair made him go)

he goes to the top of the class lou

my dh is having a minor (40) crisis. on saturday he went to bangor where he went to uni for the day with best mate, trying to recapture something or other. he got sunburned, the students union was shut, they got a bit lost on Anglesey, he ate a dodgy burger and was sick saturday night. laugh? me?

yep my Ils haev bikes

haev made them swear not to tell the kdis

ooh lucky me!

ykwim
totall tosspot

I went through a quarter life crisis at 25. Went a bit wild, put house on market without consulting dh, left job and went travelling for a year.

Dh's mate went through one at 40, had a fling, bought leather jacket and motor bike.
