The rough patch: an introduction -- A brief history of the midlife crisis -- Feeling close, in love and sex -- Marriage as a story -- Affairs, flirting, and fantasy: they're never about nothing -- Alcohol and other attempted escapes -- Money: the knife in the drawer -- Lovesickness and longing: putting them to use -- Body, health, and age: the stakes only get higher -- The empty nest: children, parents, and the turning of the generations -- Staying or leaving -- Love is a conversation.
