In fairness, I think that’s more like the whole “mid-life crisis” cliche, which is actually just people reaching the point in their life they can afford the things they’ve always wanted (without going into crippling debt) and not some desire to relive their youth (my "mid-life crisis will be an expensive leather massage chair).
I think even in a good relationship, the men who do that may not have had the time or available funds to pursue those hobbies (and in a bad relationship, may have been deliberately kept from them). It’s like going on a sushi kick after a breakup with an ex who hated sushi.

I mean what I described is what I did when I got rid of my ex. I’m 22.
