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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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 ;)

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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!

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