先に買いたい旨嫁に伝えたところ、
「ははあ、これがミッドライフクライシス*か。」
と言われました。
*年食ってからふと自分の人生を振り返って「こんなはずじゃなかった」みたいになって、若いねーちゃんと浮気したりスポーツカーを買って飛ばしたりする(男の場合)衝動らしいです。日本とインドじゃあんまりない?可能性があるみたいだけど。
Many middle aged adults experience major life events that can cause a period of psychological stress or depression, such as the death of a loved one, or a career setback. However, those events could have happened earlier or later in life, making them a "crisis," but not necessarily a midlife one. In the same study, 15% of middle-aged adults experienced this type of midlife turmoil.
Some studies indicate that some cultures may be more sensitive to this phenomenon than others, one study found that there is little evidence that people undergo midlife crises in Japanese and Indian cultures, raising the question of whether a midlife crises is mainly a cultural construct. The authors hypothesized that the "culture of youth" in Western societies accounts for the popularity of the midlife crisis concept there.[3]
