This is a question Midlife Crisis

I'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?

Is it just me ...
Or do a lot of your stories involve you maddeningly infuriating someone for no good reason while you blithely assure them they're in the wrong?

Incidentally, most people would probably agree that quitting your job and becoming a student is the kind of thing it's polite to mention to your spouse before doing, regardless of how you're financing it. "I can't see the problem, mummy's paying for it" kind of misses the point. Or did you not consider the collapse of your family structure to be a potential "down side"?

Can't really agree there.
In fact, I had more free time with the kids while I was in school than I did while working. I still lived at home and was there for dinner and all that, but some mornings I was there to feed them breakfast and get them to school, and I had time in the afternoons for them.

Had I moved out to go to university, I could understand the problem. But as it was, the only difference is that my schedule became more flexible.

Which bit don't you agree with?

I assume that the furniture you 'reclaimed from your ex'
wasn't the table and chairs you fed your kids their breakfast on?

So you didn't see the potential problem of you not being able to find a job after graduating?
And you made a massive, life-changing decision without discussing it with your wife and mother of your children?

Are you autistic?

You really need to ask that question after all the emotionally stunted, semi-sociopathic dreariness he's posted on here?

No, pay attention.
His schedule became more flexible, so all was fine. So flexible he was able to walk out on his family a year later.

NO DOWN SIDES.

He does seem to not give a shit about anything other than himself.

I particularly like how it plays the "I'm well mad me!" card whilst being utterly unaware that it is genuinely sociopathic.

I find it interesting
that you think I walked out on my family. What do you base that statement on? That I moved a few miles away until I could afford a house one mile away?

"About a year later I moved out"
Whether or not that constitutes "walking out" is clearly subjective.

Anyway, I don't know you so this is all pointless. Your apparent feelings of blamelessness in these stories just rankles eventually.
