The midlife crisis symptoms that male show are quite different to that of women. Men tend to exploit the need for sex and money during their rocky times and may conduct activities such as adultery and infidelity. Men also go for luxury items such as expensive holidays, cars and clothes as a result of urges for immediate satisfaction.
Women, like men, may also practise infidelity towards their spouse if they are not feeling the excitement of life. They may also indulge in the purchase luxury items such as facials, massages, fashion accessories and cosmetics. We’ll now look into some the reasons why men and women indulge in such activities:
– Lack of love – when people don’t feel the love from their partners, rather than trying to rectify their current situation, they resort to the temptation that having sex with someone else may boost their self-esteem. Although this may be of temporary satisfaction, the results are short-lived.
– Lack of excitement – when the excitement of the daily grind wears off, people tend to resort to things that spicen things up. For example, sports cars and partying seem to provide that avenue for men while handbags and diamond rings stimulate the female senses
– Search for direction – Discovering who one is is a paramount time in most people’s lives at some stage. This brings with it a sense of change to try new things. Hence, people often engage in activities which would normally be outside of their realm. If possible, it is important to maintain sanity as one’s actions can have negative ramifications.
Such midlife crisis symptoms can result in pandemonium and thus it is important to be patient with one-self to get through such moments. Women tend to discuss such issues with their friends and family more openly where as men tend to keep such things to themselves. It is thus important for men to be open about such feelings.
