I am in my second marriage. 1st one lasted 8 years. This one is approaching it's 7th year. I feel it means that you have become so accustomed to your spouse that the initial "lusty or infatuation" stages are usually over. You have been through some rough times, have irritated each other, developed "pet peeves" things like that. If you have made it through the 2 and 4 year stages (things I mentioned above) you could be itching for more excitement in your sex life or more emotional connection...everyone is so different with different issues, expectations (expectations usually get you in trouble if you don't make it very clear what they are). So I think it means you are "itching" for something else. I have been through these stages and I absolutely love my husband. We have our commonalities and we are very different. We have also been through emotional, financial and parenting issues. Everything is resolvable if you want it to be. You will either talk yourself in or out of your marriage, assuming the spouse hasn't made the decision for you. I hope you find what you are looking for.

The term "Seven Year Itch" comes from a movie and there is not real truth to the timing of it... The theory is that after seven years of marriage men will begin to feel like there might be something better out there than what he has at home. The truth is that for both men and women it does not always take seven years to reach that point. There is no reason whatsoever to believe that there is some true connection between infidelity and reaching the seven year anniversary. It is just a saying...

Actually there is a connection in anthropology. It is evident in primitive tribes and ancient peoples.
It has to do with improving the bloodline, an internal survival instinct. When a child was old enough to take care of themselves with help from the tribe (7-9 yrs), a woman would go looking for a different mate. This instinct insures a varied bloodline and survival.

It means that after seven years of marriage some couples start looking to have affairs. I never made it past three and a half years, so I don't know if it's true or not.

i have been married for 13 years. The "seven 3 hundred and sixty 5 days itch" Is a time period used fairly loosely. it really is blamed for most a split. human beings do not placed into relationships what they favor to. they imagine 50/50 and that is all it takes. in case you only placed 50% of your self in it you'll only get 0.5 an important different. both companions favor to placed 100 % of themselves into one yet another to make it paintings. Having been through the component of i'm bored and may I have stayed with an x lady friend I comprehend I have the finished element contained in the international. he's only to egocentric to grant what he needs to and needs responsible time. do not difficulty till he learns to grant all of it he will by no skill commit for a life-time. sturdy success you deserve someone dedicated to you in spite of the indisputable fact that it somewhat works both techniques.

It means when you say somehting he doesnt like he hucks a soda at your face in front of your 12 year old daughter.
Then you pack a bag and leave his ***.

That you may start to think about being with someone else - some people think like this - even sooner in some cases and some in later years.. it is not something that happens to everyone - it is just an excuse for those who can't commit.

After seven years with another person you either decide that you will stick it out as they are pretty OK, or you wise up and decide to get the @#$% out before you waste any more of your life being miserable. Yes, I think there is truth to it.

Everything changes every 7 yrs, as well as your taste buds. So take it from there! (Actually the way you look at things, your outlook on life changes)
