Apparently 4 is the new 7.

Dp and I had a '4 year itch'... we ended up having a 2yr break

Fairy-tale ending though, got back together and now have 2 dds

Hopeysgirlwasntbig · 29/02/2008 21:21

good for you notnow.

Does that mean it happens every 4 years then?

OP posts:

notnowbernard · 29/02/2008 21:29

I hope not!

We've made it past another 4yrs, anyway!

monkeytrousers · 29/02/2008 21:32

there is in this house; 7 year skin rash more like!

monkeytrousers · 29/02/2008 21:33

or just, 7 year rash.. that's a bit more pithy, isn't it?

mustrunmore · 29/02/2008 21:34

I seem to have an annual one

tatt · 29/02/2008 21:36

I certainly found the 7th year tough, I came close to leaving but fate stepped it.

Hopeysgirlwasntbig · 29/02/2008 21:38

am up to our 10th year now (but 15th together all in), am hoping 7th is just 7 year itch!

Janni · 29/02/2008 21:39

Came close to being unfaithful that year. Hadn't happened before and hasn't happened since.

Hopeysgirlwasntbig · 29/02/2008 21:42

how many yrs together now Janni?

Scampmum · 29/02/2008 21:46

We are bang on (today!) half way through year 7. Nothing to report so far, and given I'm seven (spooooooky) months pregnant I can't see myself getting any offers the itch in the next six months...

Hopeysgirlwasntbig · 29/02/2008 21:47

congrats Scampmum !

OP posts:

mummyofaprincess · 29/02/2008 21:51

So must be some truth in it lol

inabitofaflap · 29/02/2008 21:52

Hopeysgirlwasntbig · 29/02/2008 21:55

Don't know, just did, got on to 8th yr then things seemed to improve!

OP posts:

mummyofaprincess · 29/02/2008 21:59

It is weird though, as he was always 100% faithfull before... got to be something about the 7 year itch

Hopeysgirlwasntbig · 29/02/2008 22:01

OP posts:
