So, Now it's Called The 3-Year Glitch?

I remember watching a movie a long, long time ago where the little kids were asking their recently divorced mother, “Why did the loving stop, Mom?” I think that’s the fear of all couples, whether you’re in a relationship for just a few weeks, or you’ve been there for a long time--what if the loving stopped? And when will love’s ember start to ebb?

I’m sure everybody has heard of the seven-year itch syndrome, wherein statistics says that couples start to get bored with each other and stray their eyes (and arms!) a hundred and eighty degrees after seven years of being together. Well, bad news, commitment-phobes, this has now been shortened from seven to a three-year old glitch. That is, if you were to believe a Reuters London article and survey*.  It says that small harmless annoying habits can lead to major passion-killers in a relationship, after 36 months. And what are they?

1. Weight gain/lack of exercise, 13 percent
2. Money & Spend thriftiness, 11 percent

Now, if you are guilty of even one of these warning signs, then it’s time to tweak your habits. Unless, of course, you deliberately want to lose your partner. But I think it's not about being thin and putting on make-up which are the real issues here, it's more about still caring enough to put your best foot forward, as if you are always on your first date.

Thank God the Hubby and I are past that 3-year and 7-year curses. But I’m still heading first to Marks & Spencer Lingerie section when I go to Cebu next time. Just to be sure;-)
