What could cause a man to seemingly age 3 years in 6 months? ?

Question

I was in a long distance relationship and saw my ex- first in January, and second time in June. He looked like he'd aged 3 years. However, I must add that he works under the harsh sun by the beach.

Answer 1

Could be the sun- if you look at surfers they all look 10 years older then their age.  

Answer 2

not only stress, but some kind of an emotional truama can do that too

Answer 3

there must be something health wise going on he hasn't told you about- my ex used me and had another g frined- all along behind my back- when he was caught, he lost 30 lbs and said he has diabetes-- but he may have known but made it worse after he didn't have the best of both worlds..yuck..

and with diabetes, etc...stress adds a lot  too--and makes you lose weight, etc....hope it's nothing serious.......

Answer 4

I've seen alcohol deform the best looking members of my family. Meth and cocaine does the same. There was some Discovery show a while back that aged some guy 10 yrs because of a tumor disrupting the flow of his lymphatic system. Whatever the cause, the dude should get checked pronto. That's not normal, even by stress.

Answer 5

Drugs and/or alcohol.

Answer 6

extreme stess, sickness, and yes the harsh sun isn't good for him either.

Answer 7

the loss of a good woman.

Answer 8

Stress. Extreme stress.  

Answer 9

It could just be from life, I mean sometimes certain experiences can cause us to change in many, many ways.

I highly doubt that it's a disorder or anything, it's probably just the simple fact that life got to him. It happens. People can change really fast depending on circumstances.

Answer 10

Marriage

Answer 11

It may or may not be sun exposure, but if that is what he has been doing before you noticed this change then most likely confront him about drugs & alcohol.
