When your husband is having a Midlife Crisis, there is usually a lot of blame flying around. All blame can do is make the situation worse, its not going to improve anything.It may feel natural to blame him or even blame yourself, but if you can take some time and sort through your feelings to separate blame and responsibility, you can move yourself to a much better place. Remember, no matter what he does or says, your responsibility is to take care of yourself.

Emotional Detachment
This really is one of the keys in taking care of yourself through your husband's Midlife Crisis.
First of all what is emotional detachment? Well, in the scenario we are talking about here it is the ability to let go of the attachment that you feel towards your husband. It includes not expecting him to live as though he still feels attached to you.
Detaching from your husband means not hoping to control him or his behaviour and accepting that whatever he is doing is his choice and for his own reasons. It also means being self contained enough within yourself that you do not judge yourself based on what he does or doesn't do.
