Cindersam Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Does anyone believe in such a thing as the "7 year itch"? I have noticed several relationships on this forum that have broken up after 6 years (as did mine). Many of these it seemed just died from lack of interest after many good years together. Do you think there is something to this 7 year thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I do, although I think the "itch" can come at any time, once the couple, or one of the partners in the couple, stops working to stay connected with each other.

lady00 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I see a lot of "3 months" "6 months" "2 year" and "7 year" itches. It seems like these are very common for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlander Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 The "7 year itch" syndrome can happen at anytime after the "in-love" stage of the relationship passes. Relationships take work. It's a shame we can't often find out soon whether someone is wanting to really work at a relationship until enough time actually passes.

Cindersam Posted April 3, 2007 Author Share Posted April 3, 2007 I guess there must be a lot of people out there that don't realize that the "in love" phase doesn't last forever. I thought that phase was only supposed to last 3 - 6 months but I guess it can last much longer for some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
