Is there really such a thing as the 2 year itch? If you make it past the two year mark in your relationship have you reached the point of no return? The zero hour? Is it smooth sailing from there to the aisle?
I have actually heard that the hormones and endorphins that enter your brain when you fall in love (and make you feel all happy and euphoric) actually wear off after two years. So does that mean it's actually pretty normal to feel a change in your relationship at around two years in?
All of a sudden it seems that everyone around me is either getting married or breaking up (i guess it's not really all of a sudden...but it just seems that way because it's everywhere...) So with that being said, what does it take in order to take that final plunge and decide if you are going to break it or make it?
With out a proper therapist/love doctor on hand, I am going to do what most people do when they are looking for advice...I'm turning to celebs. I mean really where else could I get better love advice then from high profile celebs who have no choice but to have their love life plastered all over the cover of every magazine...so lets see who made it in 2010 and who caught a bout of the 2 year itch....

| Colin and Alicja got together in 2008, In October 2010 rumors spread that the two had split up, because Colin still wasn’t ready to settle down. Seriously? Colin Ferrel a perfect example of a man who will never be able to settle down, ummm, look at her!? |

| Kelly Osbourne and her younger male model fiance didn’t even make it down the aisle this year. They ended their 4-month engagement amidst affair rumors in July, after 2 years together...itch? |

| Mel Gibson and Russian singer Oksana Grigorieva got together in early 2009 and had a a very public breakup in May 2010. but I'm not going to call that one a 2 year itch...more like a laps in judgement on her part from the very beginning...but it didn't even take a full year for her to realize../ |

Reality star Kim Kardashian had two significant breakups this year. She called it quits with beau Reggie Bush after dating on-and-off since 2007 (just over 2years,,,), and then moved on to dated another NFL star, Miles Austin, from June to September of this year, pour guy didn't even make the 6mth mark.... And then there was Tiger. This was not a case of the 2 year itch,(although Tiger may have actually contracted an itch of sorts) it was really just stupidity on his part...but bright side for her I guess is that she at least walked away $110 million richer..... My final thoughts... 2 years in a relationship isn't relatively long at all in the grand scheme of things Some couples can get married and stay together for 20+ years and still be happy, not bored. My answer is if you're bored at 2 years then it probably isn't meant to be...but then again, who really knows, Cortney and David split after 11 years of marriage...and I thought they were so in love?!  |
