The Idiot Kick

The Idiot Kick is a phase in a relationship that happens three to six months in. The term first coined by Kevin Smith (Silent Bob) in Chasing Amy refers to what you'd be to actually leave someone at this point. The Idiot Kick as it stands is the time in a relationship when you begin feeling trapped subconscious or up front---It usually is subconscious and the point in a relationship where any small action your significant other does which is cute or you can put up with ends up driving you off the wall, it will haunt your every thought, and maybe your dreams. Any time you see the exit sign you'll want more than anything to just bolt like a convict escaping jail. Although mainly evident in guys, The Idiot Kick does happen to women. The effect of The Idiot Kick is always the demise of a perfectly good, functioning relationship which will cause a person to regret ever doing that but it will always be too late. If a relationship can survive the Idiot Kick it will most likely survive past marriage. The Idiot Kick grows in a person's mind like a cancer, and can/will consume every part of them until they do something they regret. If a person were to put up with it long enough it would end in a grand catharsis, but most of the time the relationship ends before The Idiot Kick.
