Fact or myth: Do women go crazy when they are in their 30's? Well it depends on your definition of crazy I suppose.
Noun: A mentally deranged person.
According to the dictionary the definition is not in sync with how I would describe this phrase. When I was in my twenties several of my friends were going through divorces. Many of the male counterparts would say "women are crazy in their 30's." Well as a twenty something year old I concocted this story in my head that there must be this huge negative change when you hit your thirties. To say the least I was petrified of turning the big 3-0.
Fast forward ten or so years and I now understand what it means to "go crazy"! It is an amazing experience filled with liberation, empowerment, self security and sometimes a fuck you attitude. It is a growing period and a time where you as a woman actually are comfortable with your own self. I can see now why some men might find that uncomfortable, incompatible and intimidating.
As I explore and try new things and test my boundaries I am thankful that I have a spouse that may not agree with the things that I do, but definitely supports me in my endeavors. To answer the original question whether women go crazy when they turn 30 -- I say it is a facyth. Part fact and part myth.
