A midlife crisis can devour a relationship. The Midlife Wives Club is a supportive online sisterhood for midlife mates-a place to vent some steam, share advice, or just get a reminder that they're not alone. In this guide, readers find wisdom from both Midlife Wives and experts on:

Coping with the threat (or reality) of infidelity
Handling bad behavior-thrill-seeking, financial irresponsibility, or substance abuse
Identifying underlying problems like depression and anger
Deciding when to stick it out-and when to pack it in
Protecting children from the fallout
Making it through the crisis...and coming out stronger, saner, and more self-reliant
With personal stories from real women (and men), a list of resources, and a heartening sense of humor, How to Survive Your Husband's Midlife Crisis can help smooth out the rough spots-and turn a tumultuous time into a change for the better.

 A wonderful guide through the journey called midlife crisis! June 11, 2003
47 out of 49 found this review helpful
It is unfortunate that so many marriages are falling prey to midlife crisis (if you want to call it that). Point is our disposable society makes it too easy to divorce. This book is a pratical guide to help you traverse this journey. Not only is the book an easy read and very helful in understanding and keeping yourself in check, it really focuses on learning about yourself and not talking blame for your wayward spouses issues. It helps you be a better you! As well, the website listed is a direct link to others suffering the same things. That site has so much information, one could read for days. There is also chat which is helpful and one bonus is that friends can be made to last a lifetime. This book has it all and I implore anyone in the throes of this anxiety called midlife crisis to read this book and then peruse the site for loving and supportive help. It is a truly a gift to know you are not alone.
Lifesaver Guide to MLC June 3, 2003

This is an extremely helpful book on the various ways to handle your significant other's (s/o) MLC. Although its focus is on men, it is beneficial to both sexes.It doesn't just tell you to hang on or act as if as some anti divorce sites suggest. It tells gives you real life stories of various people and how they handled their s/o MLC. It also shows there is life, no matter which road you take, whether it be riding out the rollercoaster ride, getting a divorce, getting a legal separation or just co-existing until you KNOW what is the right course of action for you. The book even shows humor in the whole process because when experiencing either your own MLC or someone else's...you have to be able to find humor. I highly recommend this book for those going through or being affected by someone with MLC. It's a very easy read and you'll find yourself closely relating to these individuals.

I found this book to be easy to read, and chocked full of practical and sound advice, along with comforting words and stories from others who have been on that journey.For anyone who has found themselves on a path of confusion, as well as those who are dragged along for the ride, this book will give comfort and hope to many. I have read through it several times, and find something new in it every time. I highly recommend it.

I was concerned that this might be a man bashing book, but it was not. It gave me insight to what is going on with my husband and is giving me the strenght to get through the situation. This is a really good book.
You'll Realize You're Not Alone June 29, 2010

This was the very first book I bought after learning of my husband's affair. I knew very little about the topic of a "mid-life crisis" until I bought this book. It was informative and the real testimonials from both men and women were priceless. Anyone who finds themselves on either end of a mid-life crisis should read this!
Besides learning the various reasons why men and women succumb to a mid-life crisis, what I got out of this book the most was reading the stories of men and women who had SURVIVED this catastrophic event. When I learned of my husband's mid-life crisis, I wanted to know as much about it as I could. This book did just that and it made me feel like it wasn't my fault!
Unfortunately I had to loan this book to a close friend who just learned of her husband's mid-life crisis and it also helped her in many of the same ways it did to me over five years ago.
Anyone who needs the support of others who have walked in their shoes should read this!
