Why do they call WHAT the Seven Year Itch? LOL
(there's a movie and a few albums by that name...)
Here are sites that explain the origins of the phrase:

7th Year Itch

It used to be the 7 year itch, but in this modern fast moving world, its now the 6 month itch.
Basically the itch means, the wanting to kill your partner by means of something very violent and painful, because even the sound of their voice makes you vomit.

You must not be married. After the 7th year you get bored with being married to the same person. I think now adays it's not 7years but 2.

Because in the days gone by, it was said that you would need roughly 7 years to know your partner well enough to be bored with and seek pleasure/entertainment/whatever outside of marriage. Now-a-days, couple get bored much early.........

In the movie, they say that once men have been married seven years they start to crave other women and are vulnerable to cheating.

I don't know, but if you are referring to what I think you are. Who did what wrong? Or did you just get married?
