Some New York therapists refer to the desperate hankering for change that engulfs an M-M man as the mid-life lust for change. And just as the sense of failure can dog them, so many constantly view their future with a jaundiced eye at the prospect of a terrifying continuation of stale and meaningless years and feel impelled through self-preservation to break out at any cost and make a dramatic change to their lives.
From adolescence the future holds promise of continuous improvement. New experiences, greater expertise, more money, more sex, a wife, children, a home, promotion and once these are achieved, what next? At forty-plus?
Given half a chance most people at some moment of their lives would carry out change. But for menopausal men this yearning can become imperative need.
No two men will have exactly the same reaction but their self-doubts and questions at this time will run along the same lines: what would make me happy and satisfied? (in my eyes and those of my family and friends. Approbation is important at this juncture.) Not every man, for example, wants to swap his wife for a younger model or move house to a new locality and, although work is important for financial security and some succeed immeasurably by taking up different work, not every bored bank man wants to be a painter, nor every sculptor a travelling salesman nor every retail store executive a worker with missionary zeal at a charitable organization.
