Toks2008:
According to Wikipedia;A midlife crisis is a transition of identity and self-confidence that can occur in middle aged individuals. While it is universally believed that this crisis occurs in individuals of 40 years and beyond, I have come to realize that this is also applicable in our romantic affairs with the opposite sex at different ages.

In most cases,after marriage,Many men still live as though they are still single and they would still make decisions without carrying their wives along,act foolishly and irrationally.

Some married ladies on the other hand just get married just for the sake of bearing that Mrs but still live their life as single ladies and lacking the vital qualities of a genuinely married lady.

The mid life crisis of the man is usually any period from age 30 to 50 when he is expected to be married while that of a lady can be any period from age 20 to 35. The period varies from one person to another but it is one phase most people must pass through and while some people are disciplined enough to control the crisis,some allow the crisis control them.

As we progress in age,the crisis usually reduces...During the mid life crisis of a man from age 30 when he is usually ready for commitment,there is an inner crisis he experiences when he will keep asking if he is really ready for commitment thereby exhibiting some crazy acts that may likely make the lady leave the union....but as he grows in age,he begins to overcome the crisis and by the time he is approaching the 40s or 50s,he suddenly realizes the need to get a grip of himself.

For the lady,at the age of 20 to 25 she just does not care and to her it's about catching fun and as she approaches age 30 she starts to realize the need to calm down and once she clocks 35 and above,there is an unexplained calmness that she starts to exhibit.

The bottom line is that most marriages that crash could actually survive if they can only tolerate their spouse at this passing phase.*This is the secret of marital longevity.

Domestic violence is also part of mid life crisis but it's never an act to tolerate but can be reported to the authorities so that it can be checked.

Stay in your marriage cos every marriage has its own peculiar problems..just be determined

Don't know if this makes sense.

Mid-life crisis at 20? What then is quarter-life crisis?

lekkie073:

I doubt it.

For the benefit of others with functional brains I would implore them to understand that the reason why we are underdeveloped in Africa is because of our intellectual slavery.

The fact that I gave a wiki definition and then applied this to romantic union using the varying ages as a yardstick is simply creative but shallow minds would never catch the drift.

Now if I may ask;what exactly is the average age that determines life's expectancy?

The bible stated 70years and from the statistics derived by researchers,it is 53 to 70years in Nigeria and varies from one countey to anorther which means a quarter life in nigeria should be around 15 to 20years and mid life will be 30 to 40 years but because most Africans are mentally sheepish,we don't ask questions and we just follow others even if they don't make sense.

As far as I'm concerned my write up is about a mid-life crises of our lives in relation to romance so if that is hard for you to decipher,it's your call.

Crises?
Or Crisis?

Mid life crisis in women happens often between ages 20-30?
That's a new discovery.

My point exactly...it is not the usual general mid life crisis but as you pointed out,a different type experienced in romantic affairs.

One way I'm so different is my reasoning faculty...I think outside the box...

How many people live up to 82 years these days? and what exactly is the life span of our active years?

This is why many people see this thread as confusing even lalasticlala brought it to front page to prove a point to me but I'm unfettered...as far as I'm concerned. .I gave a whole new interpretation of mid life crisis in relation to man and woman affairs and that is my own way of being creative...Ihumans like me formulated the definitions of many terminologies and they are in no way more human than myself.

Enough of our sheepish mindset.

You're still trying to explain your baloney away even after 4 pages!

The most dangerous state a man can ever find himself is to be a fool and think himself wise and all-knowing.

You're in such a place and irredeemably lost in your stiff-necked arrogance.

Whatever way you choose to explain your laughable position, you're still standing alone.

Even if people die at 60 years in Nigeria, midlife crisis doesn't occur at 20s or 30 like you said. It's a psychological and biological reaction that GENERALLY comes at an age contrary to the ones you stated.

Even if we will accept your rediclous postulation of midlife crisis in romantic affairs, how do we agree a girl of 20 is already experiencing a midlife crisis in romance at that age?

You're just grasping at straws on this.
