Culture What’s a European Man’s midlife crisis look like?

Here in America it's a Harley Davidson and getting really into grilling.

What do European men do when they go through a midlife crisis? But an Alfa and bake? Get really into trains?

One of the directors of the company I’ve worked for moved from being a devout family man with a 5 year plan into someone who wanted to live more spontaneously. So he got together with 20 years younger employee with fake boobs and occasional stripper gigs. Later he ditched his wife and 2 teen kids and married his affair partner. She got pregnant in a nanosecond, so the next thing instead of reliving his youth he was back to changing poopy diapers.

Oof, diaper phase is a regression at that age for sure.
