For some, it is a time to change jobs and get out of a feeling of being in a rut or the feeling that there must be more to life than this. Often, a time of mid-life crisis manifested in a change of career, but still keeping the same partner, though. :) If not, just plug on...as you were. :unsure:

PS Are you not 50 ?

Think TGFKASE has been asking this question about turning 40 every year for at least the last 7-8 years.

Your 40s will be the best decade of your life, by a country mile.

Can't explain why - perhaps it's the combination of still being (relatively) young, but with quite a lot of life's experiences behind you.

You will also find you have the self-confidence to try things that might have seemed unlikely in earlier years, while still being young enough to enjoy them.

Jealousy is an ugly trait, doubly so at Christmas....;)
