    Seems like you're a bit jealous your wife is having such a good time and you're not.

    go bang your wife's coworker's wife..JUST KIDDING.

    that wife part of the deal, hopefully is in your head. but just in case, focus on making yourself look (or stay) more interesting than that other douchbag. when she says, "guess what we did today!".. be able to say, "who cares..i just bought tickets to bangkok..wanna come along?"

    i woke up today, and found myself in my damn 40's!! WTF? i am amped up for tomorrows New Mexico Elk hunting DRAW...ARCHERY ONLY! my wife knows, if she leaves me..i may end up having more fun. dont get me wrong..i love my babes. i married her a mere two years ago, after a 10 year "dating" period. she just knows, i loved myself first.

    my uncle told me along time ago.."THERE IS NOTHING SEXY ABOUT DESPERATE!" words to live by, friend. get a hobby, and make it a BAD ASS HOBBY. eff that other douchebag.

    My daughter just turned 21 and I remember my 21st birthday like it was yesterday. It's true, the older you get, the faster time flies. It sucks.:(

    Keep looking. 35 isn't old. I didn't even get my degree until I was 39. Finished my degree got a great job about a year later and have almost tripled my income.

    I've been there but it does get better. I was going bald so I just helped it along and shaved it all off. I have gray in the goatee but I leave it. Traded in the Saturn SL 4-door for my Tacoma. I changed my eating habits and dropped some weight (about 25 lbs). I took guitar lessons and learned fingerpicking style (chicks love that!).

    I met a fantastic woman and married her. We do a lot together. She was into hiking so I started going with her (climbing freakin' mountain trails). This morning I started running with her. She loves off-roading and riding motorcycles. She's a fantastic cook. I couldn't be happier.

    The biggest thing is just get active and start doing things you've always wanted to try. Have fun.

    I have a sport touring bike (Concours). I rode my first Harley with my wife in Hawaii on our honeymoon last January. We rented a Road King. I loved it. We did a nice leisurely ride around the big island. I'd rent a couple to find out if you like it.

    I thought that I was old with finishing my degree at 36. :D

    Time to look for that new job - after my service time is up. :(

    I'm 42.....and I can't say I've had any midlife crisis - I think I've always been in one. I've been coloring my hair for about 5 years now. I've been going to the gym for about 3 years now - because I want to stay toned up and still be able to walk when I'm 75 years old. I still don't eat as good as I should and I still drink a few here and there.... but damn, I ain't givin up everything!!! I love a cold beer/drink and a thick juicy fatning steak!!

    My husband and I don't have any children. We have a corvette - if that explains it. :D

    Dude - sounds like you need some spice in your life. Start a new hobby with your wife, something you can enjoy together.

    Stop worrying about the guy at work...... If you & your wife have a trusting relationship, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

    I'm sorry but you are a little too young to be having a mid-life crisis. You may be on a pussy dry spell but defintely not a mid life crisis.....

    I just turned 40 a few days ago, but a midlife crisis is the least of my worries. I have a 17 year old son, who knocked up his girlfriend and they have decided to keep it. So, I will be a GRANDFATHER in September. :facepalm:

    both of you should take off work every once in a while, get away and be with each other. its a good break from everything and you get to spend time with your loved one. its a win win situation

    By remaining a bachelor, my mid-life crisis didn't hit until I turned 50. Then I bought a Corvette! Then I spent 6 years and all of my money modding it, then sold it. Getting old sucks, but it's better than the alternative.

    OH man...I think we all dread that info, but having grandkids will be awesome when the time comes. Back to being a kid again...funny how you see all these Grampas playing with their grandkids at sporting events.

    Get away for a weekend with the boys fishing or camping and tie one on. Get F'd up good, hit the bars..start some trouble, talk some smack, hit the strip joints and then come home and tap your wives arse good!! Always makes me feel better. :p

    Yeah, but i already have a 6 year old son. I get plenty of kid time with him. I don't really need a grandchild, at the moment. At least it's a girl, so it will be a little different.
