Is it normal to have a life crisis at 23?

I'm married, my wife is pregnant, I feel like my freedom is gone but I also feel like I need to protect them and I have so much responsibility.

Is this normal?

Absolutely it is normal--Its called growing up --and facing the real world :)

Congratulations by the way !!!

Yes. Some of your freedom will be gone when you have a child, that's what every responsible person experiences. And to feel like you need to take care of them is a good, healthy response to the responsibility. Try to think beyond the negative parts which are worrying you, to the very positive aspect of your being a father and how you'll bring your child up, and all the good things you will experience as a family.

Ha, yes. Knowledge of business and finance, please go to pregnancy

Life is a crisis. Always will be. Usually the midlife crisis is the famous one for men because they have hunkered down and been worker bees for the last 10 or 20 years and then wake up one day and start thinking critically about what really matters.

My advice is to always think critically. Think deep. Take days to just go on walks with your wife, have tea, and do some thinking. It helps so much in the long run. It calms you down, will bring you and your wife together, and help you both look at what is important and define what you want to do with life, and what life really means.

Hope this helps.

Yes it is normal to have a little life crisis at this time- many men do. All your freedom is not gone - you will see that your idea of what freedom means will change as time goes by and it will all work out for you.

Congrats on the new little one - he/she will change your life= almost all of the changes will be good and positive!

It's not the age, it is the huge life changes. ALmost everybody is a little apprehensive walking into a huge new space.

It's called a Quarterlife Crisis- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarter-lif…
