I feel like I need more excitement in my life. There's nothing really wrong with our marriage but its boring and I feel like I'm losing myself. My friends say its just a mid-life crisis and I'll get over it but I want a new life. Is it fair to walk out when they've done nothing wrong?

You never know, Itchy, but your partner may be feeling the same way. Once you've figured out what does excite you, talk to your partner and see if they want to get involved. Or vice versa - maybe they have some ideas for spicing things up? But if there's nothing to be done, at least if you've talked there's a chance the split may be amicable.

If you feel like you want a new life then you should make one but that doesn't mean you have to leave your wife - just so long as she wants change things too and share the new life. If she's keeping you in the old life and won't change, then leave.

Lots of men feel like itchy but they want it both ways. They complain that their wives are boring and hold them back but at the same time they expect their dinners made, shirts ironed and egos stroked. In other words they want it both ways.
Does your wife have the time and freedom to be her interesting self or is she losing herself in a dull marriage too?
