I'd like to know the answer to that one too! Since that is mostly what I attributed my affair to be caused by. I'll be watching the post for everyone's input...

Brown -- IMHO, an affair can be a <B>result</B> of a mid-life crisis. They are not the same. One can go thru a MLC that doesn't involve love or sex or anything, just a feeling that something has been missed in one's life.<P>A MLC can be something like someone who works in an office buying a motorcycle, quitting their job and hitting the road. It can involve participating in extreme or dangerous activities, anything that puts distance between one and their former life.<P>Of course, an affair can result from a MLC for reasons that one feels love, affection, physical gratification, etc., have been missing or never really felt.<P>It can also be what DuncanMac calls "bad as I wanna be", just a 180 degree change in focus or direction.<P>I sure hope you can get thru my rambling to understand what I am saying.<P>--DeWayne--
