Midlife CrisisI've hit my forties, and my midlife crisis has manifested itself in old band T-shirts and a desire to go on camper van holidays. How has it hit you, or - if you are still a youngling - your elders?

I celebrated turning 40 with a massive party, had 3 bands playing, 80+ people turned up.It's 6 years later tomorrow. In that time I've lost my house, every relationship has fucked up, I tried having birthday drinks tonight and got no takers.
Life begins at 40 ? does it arse; it fucking ends.

Happy birthday for tomorrow!I'll have a drink with you, in spirit. (See what I did there?)
Things will get better. Well, sounds like they can't get any worse anyway.

Cheers dudeIn lots of ways, it's not *so* bad, but the "fall from grace" after turning 40 was virtually overnight ! Sure, I've made some bad decisions, I still have mates (most of them have now sprogged though), but the contrast between the 30s and 40s is immense...

Perhaps if you hadn't pissed loads of money away on 3 fucking bands for one party then the bank wouldn't have taken your house, you finances idiot.(

About toembark on a similar journey too. I turn 40 in July. I used to think it was just a number, now I'll remember the year I turned forty as possibly the worst ever...

Like I said though, can't get any worse!Can it?
I had a shite time in my 40s which did get steadily worse, what with multiple bereavements and so on, but life has settled down now and I make the best of things. Some people stood by me and some I didn't see for dust. At least I know who my real friends are.

I've a lovely one with a beach at sunset and some wank platitude about the importance of loving you for who you are.Fuck knows how that'd help somebody who's screwed up everything.

It has been that way for me.The thirties were like finally becoming my adult self and it felt good. At forty four it's just a little less hope with every season.
Hopefully Juan Quar's experience is just as common.
