The Male Mid-Life Crisis by Nancy Mayer:

- They look at their children and realize “THEY are young, I am old.”
- Their parents are starting to fade or die, and they see they're next.
- Financial demands from children, spouse, life, parents.
- Time demands from children, spouse, friends, work, parents.
- Some men got pressured into marriage way too young and never got to explore the world outside their relationship and they realize "this is it."
