Three-Year Itch?
The NYT’s Style section had an article stating that more couples are facing strife and ending their relationships by the third year rather than the proverbial seven-year mark.
Interesting, considering my last serious relationship ended almost exactly three years to the date, and my divorce occurred a month or two after my three-year wedding anniversary.

Relationships move in cycles.
It’s been almost 8 years married and 12 years altogether for Jenn and I.
I hope you and Brian are happy.

They do. And all differently.
I think the old saying is true, though. The more you communicate, the more successful it will be. In our case, we can’t really shut each other up

Prior to my termination, I had spent roughly 3 years at each of my last 3 jobs. Work is the closest thing to a relationship I’ve ever had. I’m ok with that.

I just sent boba a package at the post office to be delivered in 2010. The mail man will be looking for a guy standing in the rain next to a Delorean over off Ponce.

I think that it is pretty common to hit a roadblock at 3 years; James and I had some issues right at that time too. Thank goodness we made it through… now we have to make it through the 7 year itch!

Personally, I think after three dates is the perfect time to end it. By that time, I’ve gotten what I wanted.
