How long does a midlife crisis last? Did you know the length of a midlife crisis in men is different from the length of midlife crisis in women? It’s important to remember the age old saying, “what you resist, persists”. If you’re angry or resistant to your spouse’s behavior, it can actually prolong the midlife crisis. Regardless of the midlife crisis symptoms you’re seeing, there are ways to shorten the crisis and get the love of your life back. Try to avoid focusing on questions like “How long is a midlife crisis?” Thinking like this is really dwelling on fear. That fear will bring you more worry and push your spouse further away from you. Start by shifting your focus away from your spouse and attempt to gain regain control over your own emotions. Once you feel calm and centered, your spouse will feel this, and you’ll begin to see a positive change in the tension between you. If you’re struggling to deal with a midlife crisis in your relationship, please know that you are not alone. There are resources available to help you and your spouse.

Are you wondering when this nightmare will be over? Are you worried a midlife crisis will be the end of your marriage or relationship?

I’m Larry Bilotta and today I’m going to help you understand how long a midlife crisis lasts. Hint – it’s not forever! Although I’m going to reference this in context with a married couple, the same is true for couples who are dating in long-term relationships.

In general, a midlife crisis lasts 2-5 years if you do nothing at all. If you simply let it run its course, your midlife crisis partner will go through a series of painful discoveries and eventually come back to themselves. For women, it’s often 2 to 5 years, for men it can be 2 to 7 years. I’ve found that men can generally be more resistant to learning from their mistakes so this may be because the realizations take a bit longer.

If you hold the energy of anger and resistance in any form of against energy, it can literally extend the length of the midlife crisis. That brings us to the old saying: “What you resist – persists.”

If you are against your spouse’s selfishness, against your spouse’s actions toward your children, against your spouse’s abuse of money and morality, this against energy will consume you and be broadcast outward so your spouse feels and reacts to it day after day.

That brings me to the idea of becoming an environment changer. This is a person who changes their own internal environment, essentially the environment of their mind. If you are willing to move in that direction, you can search the term: “books on mindfulness”. Mindfulness is a relatively new term that has become widely accepted as a way to change the environment of your mind and emotions, in other words changing your energy.

The opposite of mindfulness is being reactive. That means you react to events throughout the day like a pinball, usually with a negative emotional response. Each of those negative reactions adds up until you begin to feel anxious and worried on a regular basis.

Mindfulness is the beginning of doing something internally to shorten the length of the midlife crisis as well as many of its effects. Being a reactive person, or what I call a pinball, will have painful consequences for yourself and your children, the people you want to protect the most.

Most of all, don’t spend time focusing on questions like “How long will this last?” What you are doing when you ask those kinds of questions is dreading what you are facing and you are fearing that it will never end. This thought process creates very unproductive energy for yourself and your family.

Thinking thoughts about how long a midlife crisis will last is really dwelling on fear. That fear will bring you more worry and push your spouse further away from you.

Instead, take a different approach. For now, shift your focus from your spouse or partner to yourself. You won’t see improvement in your relationship until you get your own emotions under control and free yourself from fear.
