Dear Dáithí: I'm 50, I feel invisible and stuck. What can I do to start loving life again?

You and your husband get on fine, but the spark has gone. After getting everyone else sorted, that is a good place to be. I know people who are at this stage and are ready to go in different directions and can’t stand the sight of each other

I keep thinking: Is this it? Is this what middle age is meant to feel like?

Dear Dáithí,

I turned 50 this year, and I feel like I’ve suddenly become invisible. My children are grown and off living their own lives — which I’m proud of — but now the house feels quiet in a way I wasn’t prepared for.
