What makes a person sometimes mess up the best thing in life they have?
I am a 42 year old man happilly married now for close to 19 years with 4 beautifull kids and not so long ago almost messed it all up. A young 24 year old was giving me tons of attention and all of a sudden I felt like a young teenage schoolboy with a major crush. Fortunately the Missus found out accidently by spotting SMS's on my phone and put an end to it before anything could even start which ultimately would have been disasterous for an old gullable fool like me. I've been told that I was experiencing Mid-Life Crises syndrome apparently this happens to a lot of forty-somethings out there. Please tell if anyone out there can relate to something similar.

I was married to a guy going thru midlife crisis at the time. He was married and I was only 24 yrs old wen we met. I thought that i was gaga over him and very much in love, but 8 months later i felt that we were not compatible and got a divorce. he was 11 years older than me and yes, I was the other woman, but I really thought i was inlove. we didnt share the same genre and it really created a problem. His ways were set and for me nothing was worse than routine. We parted and i must say, i amm saddened by the fact that he lost his children and wife because of me. I pray every day for forgiveness. B a responsible adult becoz u love ur family and it seems to me that ur wife also loves u, don't lose what u have! u have more than many still searching for love. Dont look for love, U have already found it!

This stupid phase I was going through was just that stupid. Fortunately for me I did not do the wrong/dumb thing by following through and came to my senses just in time because I truly realise now that I am married to Gold. I woke her up early this morning and took hiking up Lions Mountain here in Cape Town unfortunately we were a tad bit late cause I wanted her to see Sun rise from atop of this mountain.
It didn't matter to her as long as we there together. You right she is the love of my life and I would be a fool to look elsewhere but thank u anyway for your comment I really do appreciate it.

Well if you have a natural attraction to women then it is not a mid-life but a life-long crisis! haha
By all means chat up the girls and have a flirt because most women love it and it makes them feel good.
BUT (and I cannot make this BUT any bigger) do not take it further because it will ruin your life. Your wife stopped you in time - you are lucky.
