But it’s important to remember that this doesn’t necessarily mean there is something fundamentally wrong with the marriage. It’s even worse when you’re both transitioning through this life-stage simultaneously. “Where did all this vitriol come from?” we ask ourselves as our spouse opens the dump truck on us verbalising every grievance of the last 15+ years. Some cope better than others, but we all go through it in some way.īeing married to a mid-lifer is often bewildering. Some react with depressive symptoms, others get angry and aggressive, others withdraw or self-medicate with alcohol, drugs, work, food, affairs, tv, gaming or exercise. It’s normal for a person in midlife to be irritable and volatile.
As mid-lifers in the midst of working through some of our ‘issues’, we are acutely aware of how easy it would be to let our individual stuff derail our marriage.
