When I was in my early twenties, “one night stand” meant that you met someone (likely at a bar or party), had sex with them that night – and then never talked to them again. I finish up with a list of some common characteristics that I have found in "one night stand" type of midlife relationships - so you may know what to watch for. This article explains the “one night stand at midlife”, and highlights why this phenomenon sometimes occurs. I believe the definition of the term “one night stand” changes with age – or at least it has for me. Is the “one night stand” at midlife the same thing it was when we were in our twenties? The answer might be YES for some who are very freshly out of a marriage or long-term relationship … but for most of us at midlife, I think the answer is NO.
