I am also 37yo and feeling very bored with my life and constantly PO'd at my husband, without letting on because what's the point and BTDT. Honestly, I don't like who I have become since I have been with him, and it shows - in my weight (up 75 pounds since we met), my emotional state within myself, my attitude, and my nerves...Married almost 9 years, two kids 8yo DD and 5yo DS (and they are awesome!), and mostly I just feel like I can do a better job with THEM on my own - and I don't honestly like him very much, more like, just tolerating. I am trying to get a picture of what I WANT my life to be, and am working on the little steps to get there...Maybe a "midlife crisis", for those of us who feel that we are having one, is life's way of making us realize that this is a good time to change the "not so good" in our lives and to explore what makes us happy - not just "content" - while we still have the time to BE HAPPY in life...??
