GFJ (263) Does the Seven Year Itch Exist?

Does the Seven Year Itch Exist? I feel like it does, which is what scares me. I don't know what it is about the seven year mark that makes people itch. Is it that the first six years you were okay with the fact that your husband leaves the toothpaste cap off and then, at the seven year mark, it drives you crazy? Like, I don't get it however I'm starting to hear it and see it amongst my friends.

Often friends moan, "If I knew this is what married life was going to be like, I wouldn't have gotten married..." or "What I want in a partner now isn't what I wanted when I was younger... it's frustrating" or "I'm no longer excited to go home after work. Actually, I dread it."

And then I hear some of my friends complain that they are sitting on the sideline of their own life... Now, I do this too.. Not in terms of my everyday life but, when it comes to my romantical one, I watch from the bench... Why? CAUSE ALL OF MY FRIENDS B*TCH TO ME ABOUT THEIR WOES AND THEN I FREAK OUT THAT I'LL HAVE THE SAME ISSUES....

Do you think the seven year itch exists? Should I follow Metts advice, stop sitting on the sideline of my own romantical life and do something about it? I don't know.. I do know that I plan on drinking at the Biergarten tonight as I contemplate this... Nothing says problem solving like booze.
