The Childbirth Cheating Itch is Real
Men need to grow up when women become mothers
We’ve all heard of the seven-year itch.
The part of a romantic relationship where the honeymoon phase is entirely extinct after seven years of blissful togetherness.
It’s said the rose-colored glasses are well and truly off by then. The reality of stark differences takes hold like a vice. We hit a rocky, potential point-of-reckoning patch, and the questions start flying:
Am I satisfied? Is the relationship working for me/us? Is this the future I want?
Interestingly enough, men also have a high rate of cheating around the seventh year.
Lucky number seven.
I’ll bet seven big ones that it’s a bit of an urban legend.
The seven-year itch vs. the childbirth itch
I’m not sure that men need the seven-year itch to justify cheating when there are so many reasons to hoodwink a spouse … boredom, opportunity, lack of sexual satisfaction, ego boost, disconnection, revenge … having a baby — another oh-so-common itch that often needs to be scratched…
The “childbirth-itch.”
