When a Wife Walks Away After 30 Years: Midlife Crisis, Perimenopause, or Something Else?

from Dad Starting Over · host Dad Starting Over

In this episode, I respond to a listener email from a man whose wife left him after 33 years of marriage. She had an affair, moved 2,000 miles away, and says she’s finally living for herself. Is this midlife crisis? Perimenopause? Or just long-simmering resentment finally boiling over? I break it all down—and more importantly, talk about what men can do when blindsided like this.Submit your own story to Deardso.comJoin The HFM Brotherhood!
