The phrase "seven-year itch" comes up periodically in casual conversation: Observers try to make sense of other couples' relationship troubles, people try to explain their own relationship restlessness, or partners might use it as an excuse for their wandering eye. But how good of an excuse is it?
The basic idea behind the "seven-year itch" is that romantic partners experience turbulence and a potential point-of-reckoning around seven years together. Viewed as a critical juncture, the seven-year itch is defined as a time when couples re-evaluate: They either realize that their relationship isn't working, or they feel deeply satisfied and committed to their relationship.
From a developmental perspective on relationships, the seven-year itch has a commonsense appeal. Initially, newly-married couples experience a well-documented relationship high, often referred to as a honeymoon phase. This honeymoon phase is characterized by high relationship satisfaction (Kurdek, 1998). Couples are basking in mutual infatuation, joy (or relief) at meeting the social expectation of marriage, and/or rosy illusions of what marriage and their life together with their partner might be like. It's a wonderful feeling.
And then... there's a transition. Newly-married couples, particularly those who have not cohabited previously, must negotiate chores and responsibilities, coordinate their work-life balance, and in other ways merge their lives. This process is not always smooth. While not all couples move through their first few years in the same way (Lavner & Bradbury, 2010), most experience at least some declines in satisfaction as their relationship continues.
Although people talk about seven years, divorce rates have historically peaked at around four years (Fisher, 1989). Biological anthropologist Helen Fisher argues that this four-year peak makes sense from an evolutionary perspective.
In the course of human evolution, women who changed partners after four years together (enough time to co-parent through the early hard years of having a couple of kids) may have had an adaptive advantage. By engaging in "serial pair-bonding," they could vary the genetic make-up of their offspring. The timing of today's peaks in divorce rates may reflect the ingrained drive towards variation.
More recent research (Kulu, 2014) suggests that divorce rates rise after marriage and then peak at about five years. Rates of divorce then steadily decline as years together increase. This rising-falling pattern is reminiscent of the seven-year-itch argument but occurs slightly earlier (a five-year itch?) than the phrase suggests.
It seems that a seven-year itch might be better named the four-year itch or the five-year itch, but even then, there's room for improvement. For instance, when do the seven (or four or five) years begin? Is it when a couple begins dating? Or is it when a couple gets married? The minimal research into this specific topic seems to assume a point of marriage; yet, couples often cohabitate prior to marriage, co-parent outside of wedlock, or never marry yet are fully committed to each other.
A new Wesen with a deadly hunger is unearthed after being dormant for seven years; Capt. Renard continues to deal with a ghost from his past; Monroe and Rosalee try to find out if Diana's premonition is true; Adalind finds Eve in the tunnels.
Previous studies have shown that the risk of divorce is low during the first months of marriage; it then increases, reaches a maximum, and thereafter begins to decline. Some researchers consider this pattern consistent with the notion of a "seven-year itch," while others argue that the rising-falling pattern of divorce risk is a consequence of misspecification of longitudinal models because of omitted covariates or unobserved heterogeneity. The aim of this study is to investigate the causes of the rising-falling pattern of divorce risk. Using register data from Finland and applying multilevel hazard models, the analysis supports the rising-falling pattern of divorce by marriage duration: the risk of marital dissolution increases, reaches its peak, and then gradually declines. This pattern persists when I control for the sociodemographic characteristics of women and their partners. The inclusion of unobserved heterogeneity in the model leads to some changes in the shape of the baseline risk; however, the rising-falling pattern of the divorce risk persists.
Hollywood had become self-important and incestuous after World War II, itself just having won its own battle against Broadway for box office rights; television wasn't even on the radar yet. Go Big or Go Home was the new motto, apparent in everything from Ford westerns and Hitchcock psycho-thrillers to Wilder comedies and epic Hawkes period dramas.
The Seven Year Itch's critical and box office success were kind to Bass, cementing his A-list status and placing him at the center of a title design sea change, first apparent in the many comedies in the film's wake, then outwards as he migrated into thrillers and dramas. Supported by three other title projects in 1955 alone and a fruitful future relationship with Hitchcock, Bass' trademark blend of stop-frame animation, original type, symbolism, and graphic design would become common industry language by the end of the decade.
You may have heard about the seven-year-itch as that phenomenon of declining happiness in a marriage - but what about work? For people like me, who feel married to work, seven years is an itchy time. There was a uncomfortable itching, a restlessness, that showed me that it was time to re-evaluate and reflect if what I was doing still made sense. Was I still learning? Was I still having fun? Was I doing what I was meant to be doing? Was what I was doing, helping me to achieve my life goals - my Big Five for Life? That itch did not let go, until I arrived here - on the other side of the world, on my creative sabbatical.
A sabbatical is the ultimate antidote to burnout and stagnation - a time to re-evaluate, to think deeply, and perhaps differently, and also to re-boot. Now, more than ever after this last year with Corona- i am convinced that taking a sabbatical is the most important thing you can do for yourself - and your career - and the next 'must -have' employee benefit.
Perhaps the most famous sabbatical-taker of our time is Stefan Sagmeister - the Austrian creative designer in NY, who takes a full year off work every seven years. Frustrated with the idea that his ideas were getting less original and creative - Sagmeister closed his NY office and spent one year restocking his creative energies. This was so successful, he continued to plan in off-time from sabbaticals into his future - each at seven year intervals. He started with a birdseye view of life - phases of life and of how we spend our time - and imagined a different distribution of time for himself, which i call 'backspacing', and he explains below:
On his second sabbatical, seven years later - Sagmeister knew he needed a change of perspective and a change of place and spent a year in Bali. On his third sabbatical, another seven years later, Sagmeister spent time in Mexico City, Tokyo and Schwarzenberg (Austria) looking for places of beauty. He credits each of his sabbaticals with increased creativity and an advancement of his professional career.
Let's look at the financial side of a sabbatical. It is something that definitely takes planning, but can be figured out. If you have been with the same employer for a long time, it is worth asking how they can support this as well. Maybe it is a longer unpaid vacation, or maybe there is also some way to adjust your salary to be paid throughout. Intel famously offers an 8 week paid sabbatical to all employees after seven years, because they believe an extended break can increase creativity. Forbes cites McDonalds, Patagonia, Deloitte and Facebook HQ as other large companies who offer the option of sabbaticals to their employees.
In my case - one of the smartest decisions me and my husband ever made, was to keep living in our small rented apartment in Berlin instead of getting a mortgage and becoming a slave to the bank and to a house. This effectively allowed us the (financial) freedom to pick up and move house for a year.
So Wurm's population is smaller than it once was, but it's still stable, and the game is seeing active development, probably at the fastest pace in a few years. We're still a little overdue on it all coming out, but the exploration updates of the last year or so have given us treasure maps, cartography, and soon hopefully holy sites and goblin camps.
Overall I think the game is in a surprisingly good place; I didn't think it would still be around by now, let alone with 700 players online on the busiest days. I think at the very least that Wurm has many years left in it, although it probably needs to see big QoL changes to keep attracting new players and stay alive.
3. Yes, RMT had to be banned as a part of the Steam release. However, with food affinities, caffeine, and the crazy amount of game knowledge people have learnt in the past few years or datamined from WU, grinding is *much* faster than it was in the past, so it will be a lot quicker to catch up than it was before. I've found it quite a bit easier to grind now compared to when I played before, simply because I have access to better gear, more bonuses, and more knowledge.
Overall, it's your choice if the above sounds good enough to come back; but really, I'd recommend picking a server, finding a good alliance to help you get on your feet, and jumping into the game to give it a try for yourself. I did that last April after a 6 year break, and I'm still here playing!
In general, I recommend you to come back, I also had an itch for years until I finally made my decision. Just try to keep the game as a game, and dont burn out yourself because you dont take enough breaks from projects or silver-making activities, and youre fine. PM me for more details.
