It may be a good idea to see what he’s feeling he’s missing out on. Schedule his midlife crisis before it goes nuts. Lol

Describe it as overwhelming. You’re already stressed about building a scene, but such a scene is going to overwhelm the character too, so incorporate that. If it’s the first time, it’s really bad. I mean, the first time I walked through a crowded highschool, I didn’t see people at all, I saw obstacles. When going to a Mardi Gras parade, it was a wall of people, flashes of color, and the stench of cheap alcohol and if crowded enough, piss. That was even worse on Bourbon street. Just people trying to get you do do lewd acts in public.

I don’t want to do part-time or consulting. I am 47. I worked for 30 years. I am tired and I have zero interest in my job.

Awesome points. I hope this works out for you. Sending positive vibes.
My husband is well past mid-life crisis. He is 55. He works part-time, he has a car he likes, parents with Alzheimer’s he supports and he races his car once in a while.
With out kid’s health crisis, university is now out of the picture, so… we are no longer on the hook to pay for that either. If she could do a couple years in college, yay. If not… she can figure out a burger flipping job soon.
The world is in shambles, so travel is not going to be an option either for a while. Russians will not be competing… like, I really don’t need to keep making money any more. Literally.
Hey, he’s taken care of first, then the objections shouldn’t be too heavy. Any change has concerns, mind you.
We’re on the other end. I don’t work because the kids are little, but his job is a clusterfuck. I’m telling him he needs to sound out other jobs before he loses his dang mind. I guess it would count for a MLC, but HIS dad ran off to work for Disney 20 years ago for his moment.

Nah, we had been through that already. He lost his job, spent a few years unemployed and building up his GPA on the last courses taking, then doing his Masters of Teaching while I was the sole bread winner in the family, so… we already survived that.
Those are often the hardest years of a relationship. So damned easy to build unless resentment over things that aren’t anyone’s fault.

Mine is looking at his retirement funds and going on about how many weeks of his current takehome it is because he’s pretty serious about being done with this job.
Economy could collapse tomorrow, so savings only means so much to me.

There’s this guy who is all arse and I forget he has a face. And there’s a guy who looks exactly like Lee from the Kissing Booth but on steroids. Another guy who has crazy eyes. Sometimes I see the dude I call Kermit with the green hoody. Depends on what time you come at. @J.L.O no real moobs yet though….

It’s been almost 5 years since I stepped into a gym. Most guys who are concerned keep their shirt on.

Another guy is a literal hyena and he’s really annoying.
I was mostly left alone at the gym. Usually there with my husband who is confused with either being in a Hispanic gang or Amish…I don’t know why those.
And when I’m alone, I have such a don’t mess with me vibe. My mother was more approached in a gym than me.

I would troll people who thought that I was Amish and invent an Amish Mafia. I would have fun with that.
And Oscar just dumped in the middle of Puppy Training and held up the lesson XD We took him out to the toilet before the lesson but nah didn’t go.
