A set of reporting focused on what it describes as a growing “epidemic” of midlife women who become repulsed by their husbands and experience deteriorating relationships. The outlet frames the issue as a shift from an earlier idea that men improve with age, instead suggesting that a midlife turning point can coincide with negative changes in marital life. The article promises to discuss the age range and “vital statistics” that it says may be associated with men facing higher risk of relationship breakdown, and it highlights “telltale signs” that the marriage could be failing. However, based on the provided text excerpts, there are no specific details about the underlying data sources, statistics, or the exact indicators listed. The information supplied consists mainly of the article’s framing and thematic focus rather than verifiable claims, methods, or evidence. Overall, the common thread is the assertion that some men’s behavior or circumstances during midlife is linked, in the reporting, to heightened marital strain and disaffection—particularly from wives—during that period.
