What seems to be the magic in the # 7?
Permalink  

I have noticed while reading through posts that a lot of us have been in these relationships for 7 years before leaving.  I thought that was odd because I have been in 2 relationships like this both for 7 years and always joked I can only tolerate 7 years of bs.  Now that I see so many others with the same amt. of time I'm wondering if there's something to this?

well I didn't actually get to 7 years it would be 7 years in October. That was way way way too long for me. I did get out. I think I got out as a combination of therapy and more. I am in extreme harship. These past few months alone the help I gave the A was not something I had. What did he do for me, he finally totally destroyed the truck.

LOL Carolinagirl!! (I hear tinkling music . . . )

For what it's worth, it was EXACTLY seven years here . . . our 'anniversary' is June 11, 2000, and the A disappeared on his "last" binge on June 11 2007. He he.

Whoa, I didn't even realize that he didn't even WISH me a happy anniversary!!

I agree and I've noticed that too. I have been married seven years and together for eight. I had the one year itch but as the "savior" thinking I stuck around to try and "save" him. Blah blah blah.....you know the story. I think we all invest so much time to say we tried everything. I wanted to give it as much time to show I tried everything.......sick thinking. lol
