Up And Down And Down And Up
a: Midlife crisis ~
b: living on a rollercoaster
What: "Dig in for the long haul. Surviving a midlife crisis is like living on a rollercoaster. The guy comes home and says ok, he's very committed and he cries and says he's dropping the girlfriend"

Rolling Over
a: Midlife crisis ~
b: a bulldozer in a flower garden
What: " But Midlife Crisis is like a bulldozer in a flower garden, it flattens the precious orchids just like it flattens the weeds and even the sturdy oak tree is brought to the ground. My aim here is simply to make you aware of the possibilities (probabilities) so that you can be prepared to face them if you have to."

Or An Earthquake?
a: Midlife crisis ~
b: a great shifting of earth
What: "Midlife Crisis is like a great shifting of earth. If you're going through it, please hang in there! And please don't make any life-changing decisions at this time! Wait for God's peace again and then you'll see clearly if and how to make life adjustments. "

It A Circle Not A Line
a: Midlife crisis ~
b: an adult entering adolescence
What: "Midlife crisis is like an adult entering adolescence again, though on a higher level. You're not sure you want to go on--you feel like going back several years in time--but you know for certain you have no other recourse but to go forward."

Don't Be Mean
a: Midlife crisis ~
b: putting a match to gas
What: "Respectfully, I hope this is a joke. Being bitchy and entitled to a man in real midlife crisis is like putting a match to gas. They are already cracking under the stresses/pressures of life. I would say if you want your midlife crisis husband to have an affair/snap/leave you, then put your foot down and insist on your way or the highway, because that's what you can expect. "

Getting The Hint?
a: Midlife crisis ~
b: Cosmic Clue
What: "I'm not sure we're talking about exacty the same thing. The famous midlife crisis is like a Cosmic Clue. Some follow the clue and leave the collective, and some just acquire more stuff as a way of reaffirming their ties to the collective - a Harley, for example, might represent to the midlife man a connection to the past; an attempt to get back to the younger guy he used to be. The true outlaw, on the other hand, is heading off on a new path."
