If blokes aren't feeling the 7 year itch, there must be something wrong with them. They are married aren't they.

Marriage has been describes as the worst hire purchase agreement on earth for a bloke. It costs everything you have down, & everything you earn for the rest of your life. You never actually own the product, & worse you aren't even allowed to trade the old one in for a new model, when the old one no longer fulfils your requirements.

That romance bit is the trap nature has given her. She's all over him like a rash, can't get enough of him, throws him into any bed she can find. He can't believe his luck. He has found this highly sexed goddess of his dreams. He can't wait to get married, & have her forever.

Sorry mate, but you'll have to sell the boat, & the 4WD, we need the capital for the house deposit, & they cost too much to run anyway.

A couple of years later & little Mary & John join them. There is no money to replace the family car.

A little later, she is never home. Mary is brilliant, & must have dance & gymnastic lessons. John is a great sportsman to be, so has football training, & horse riding lessons on Saturday. It is hard, fitting all that in with her gym nights, not to look good for him, but to outdo that slim bitch down the road.

If he can catch his ex goddess as she flits by, she might even have another, then he will be reduced to the total shame of driving a people mover.

No wonder some blokes develop a 7 year itch.

Be honest Foxy, you do recognise the syndrome don't you?

Dear Hassie,

You paint a somewhat different scenario from the one
I have experienced. In my marriage we have worked side
by side throughout our entire marriage. We've managed to
both work full time together, as well as raise our family
together. My husband has also encouraged me pursuing
my studies, and fully supported me in completing them.
I've supported him in his travels, and business ventures.
It's been a full partnership in every way.
I've read about some women with-holding sex from their
husbands for a variety of reasons. I could never do that.
Well, I suppose I could, but that would be punishing myself.
Anyway, I suppose each of us is different and we deal with
things in our own ways. I count my blessing daily.

Foxy I'm surprised you couldn't detect my tongue in my cheek.

My lady & I have been together 46 years, & have done a great deal together, other than clutter the Whitsundays with kids.

Dear Hassie,

At present I'm having to deal with lawyers, deceased
estates, and so forth - as a result of mum's passing.
It's a different world - and one in which I am
forced into seriousness. So many rules and regulations.
So bear with me.

Hi there FOXY...

Whenever I hear of someone who I have an enormous regard for, has a need to deal with our friends in the legal profession, they immediately have my most profound sympathies. As do you with the sad passing of your dear mother. One thing, generally speaking the laws of succession offer no real obstacles or impediments for the most part, so I should think you'll sail through it all, without too much difficulty I would've thought. So the best of luck FOXY is all that I can say!

My best wishes to Foxy. I understand the process can make your sense of humour slip a little. I had all that about 4 years back now.

I developed an increased dislike of bankers, solicitors & undertakers in the process.
