Dateable: Your insider's look into modern dating and relationships

S23E4: The Millennial Midlife Crisis Nobody Warned Us About

September 22, 2026·1h 1m
Episode Description from the Publisher

What happens when the life you imagined in your 20s doesn’t look anything like the life you’re living in your 40s? We're unpacking what millennial midlife really looks like – from being single and dating later in life to navigating marriage, long-term relationships, divorce, and changing expectations around commitment and family. We discuss why our generation is rewriting the rules of adulthood, the new challenges we face compared to past generations that trigger a different type of feeling unsettled, and why midlife can be an opportunity to redefine what fulfillment looks like rather than a crisis.
