Mirror: Dear Coleen

I’m 31, my husband’s 32. We’ve been married for two years and a couple for four years. Over the past few weeks he’s become obsessed – and I mean obsessed – with disco music.
He plays songs like Chic Le Freak and Donna Summer’s Hot Stuff until 4am sometimes. He’s even started to wear disco crop tops and hot pants, and has danced around the house from midnight to 8am. *
He’s even taken days off work to indulge this new passion.
He’s a manager for a local NHS hospital, at senior level, but he’s been suspended from work and now spends all his time buying disco records and watching YouTube.
A next-door neighbour, who is 68, told him to turn the music down but he ignored her and put Beyonce on at full blast.
Now he’s talking about holding a four-day disco party in our house. I told him no – but he insisted it had to be done for the good of everyone!
I asked him if he was having some sort of midlife crisis but he said he was just being himself and this was a bit of fun.
I’m worried about him, as this behaviour is so out of character. I just don’t understand him any more and wonder why he is doing this.
I could leave him but we’ve only been married for two years and it seems a bit early to be throwing in the towel.

Daily Mirror.

Hmm...
Diplomatic as ever, Coleen Nolan doesn't say what most people must be thinking, but points out it's a bit early for a mid-life crisis, could be a reaction to stress at work, "There must be underlying reasons why he’s behaving this way."

* Slight four-hour discrepancy over the time he Disco dances until here suggests this person is delusional, or the letter is made-up.
