when you were together how did you make it last? Are you still together to this day?

I was married for two years, it didn't last we're divorced

Four years and a half. After we reached 4 years, I got a scholarship to France... wanted to do a Master here also, too much time to wait for him. Was damn glad, too, I was too chicken sh!t to scared to be leaving him otherwise.

Met Delilah in August 1987.

In June 1990 she cut my hair.

May 1994 Philistines blinded me.

Its been pretty much downhill from then,

I've had one girlfriend before. Was for 11 months, about 9-10 of which were forced. Freaking sucked. :P

So you've had one bad experience, everyone has had atleast one. That's no reason to give up. Are you never going to go on a date for the rest of your life? You have to start somewhere unless you're okay with being alone for the next 50, 60, 70 years or so.

My longest relationship is my current one, it will be 2 years on the 4th of July and still going strong :)

I met my soon to be ex-husband in 1990.

We had a good relationship for many years, but everything went to hell after his business failed in the aftermath of the dotcom crash and 9/11. We are friends and the split is amicable - but it is time for each of us to get on with our lives.

I was married to F*ckerSh*t for over 10 years....but most of it had nothing to do with a 'relationship'. It was more of a legal ball and chain.

Then I was in a relationship for over 2 years.

Then I decided to become queen of the 3 dates maximum. Keeps life more simple.

Met him in March 1993.

Married him in June 1995.

Divorced him in December 1999.


We stayed together for the kids, I didn't want to be a single mom, etc. etc. At one point we loved each other, but the last few years was pretty much a bust. We would've possibly split sooner, but then I got pregnant with our daughter, and the complications from that....no time to think of divorce.

Longest was an on-and-off that, if you count the "off" time, was a little over a year.

Met my STBX wife ion 1990, and we split in 2001. Still married :P , pending legal settlement.

My first boyfriend ever.
Met him in September, asked him out December 12th. Lasted 11 months, then dumped me in November because he wanted something I didnt want to give him. :hmm:

Good for you for standing your ground. :nice: I'm sure you learned alot from the experience, and alot about him as well.

August 1988 - April 1999
Too long as it was.

Definantly, the jerk. If his mom hadn't come home, I think he might have tried to take it :eek3:

Take what exactly?

then dumped me.... because he wanted something I didnt want to give him. :hmm:

Exactly why most divorces occur............................ :p

3 years. We lived together for over 2 years. I was the one who broke up, for a few reasons, but mainly because I realized he wasn't the one....there comes a point in a relationship that you either know you're going to marry the person, or that they're not right for you. But we stayed friends and last time I talked to him, the guy is doing super well...financially anyway. He's someone I know who has lived the American dream. But material things aren't important in the grand scheme of things.

ok, enough rambling. :P

Oddly enough....that was probably the most honest answer yet!

Simplicity sounds attractive. I may join you in the 3 date kingdom :D

I've been in the same relationship for most of my adult life (19 years): Mostly good, sometimes great, occasionally troubled, Hell at the end. I'm glad it's almost over.

I went out with Pat for 6 1/2 years, but a lot of that was at a distance because of a college, then he moved away to San Diego, and I didnt follow him. (that turned out to be quite telling)
On one hand, i'm sure i knew that we werent quite right for each other, and on the other hand, we were still in love with each other, and enjoying our time together, so that made it worth it. Love while the love is still there and all. It was a mutual breakup, we still talk, he's always welcomed here, but we arent right for each other.
We cant be what we want/need for each other, and we are really growing on our own right now.

Also, we were 17 when we first met! One of the hardest aspects in our relationship was learning to grow up as a couple, and just growing up as individuals into adults in our own right.

2000 - Current.Nearly 5 years.

Marriage had to have been invented by a woman. No man would saddle himself with the same woman for eternity without vaginal influence. :mad:

Or your magnificent memory.

Yeah I'm thinking so.. Funny he treats Red better than me. :|

With no vaginal influence there would be no marriage, that's for sure!

:D I love you :)

Why would I want a husband, Glen, when I can have your wife? :nice: :P

Loving someone and living with them by choice is hard and you live knowing that at anytime all the good times can be shattered or slowly crumble.
love is a choice we make and hell is along its path.
you can fall into a kind of love but the real stuff is when youv'e been through hell. There comes a time when the mad and the anger and everyother word you can boil up are so consuming you have to go, leave, "thats it done" but then you stay and you know the only reason you stayed was because you're married or loved.
You make choices and one of them can be to be happy.
If your car were running bad you make the decision to take it to a professional or spend all day fixing it, its the same with a marriage (curse words are the same if you do it yourself).
I've been married 20 years probably because we learned that the life decisions you make doing 100 mph with no brakes aren't the true perspective.

:mad: Oh yeah? Well, um...****.


:mad:
Rayney you can be so cute when you get mad! ;)

:p

Been with my gf 4 years end of this July. :)

I met my wife in 2000. I see us staying together until one of us croaks.

I was married for 25 years.

THANK YOU FOR THIS THREAD! It has reminded me that I need to buy an anniversary card for my wife. Our four year anniversary is tomorrow. :eek: Yes, this is my longest relationship. Been married to the ol' hag for four years, been together for just over eight.

Prior to her, I had a 2.5 year relationship with a psycho control freak.

:rofl:

5 years not together anymore...

16, 1/2 years, I could have served less of a sentence for manslaughter. z:/

my bf and i are going on almost 5 yrs! crazy huh?

You all are gonna laugh, but it was 7 years for me. Can't believe I sustained one for that long! I only committed adultry once when I was with him too. ;)

2 years was the longest for me, met in 1998 broke up in 2000. She was basicly all my firsts when it comes to relationships, sex, love. If I had been more mature and experiance think we still might be together, but from what I heard things work out for the best for her at least. I haven't had much luck and have become much more guarded when it comes to ladies, have a hard time opening up.

Well, the good news is that this makes you pretty much just like every other American male.

The bad news is the same.

4 and a half years, getting married next year.

i have had only one relation so far

and that lasted for 9 months
and god knows where is she now:rolleyes: though she lives only a mile away
from my house

My honey and I have been together for 6 years now, our #6 wedding anniversary is in November. We met in Feb 99 and were engaged like two months later. We have rough patches, but making up seems to be the best part :D . We have built our relationship on a strict policy of "No Games" and "Absolute Honesty". We were fortunate to come to this agreement and feel the same way about relationships so it has been this way from the word go. We b*tch at eachother sometimes, but we aren't intentionally hurtful or anything. I figure it keeps the air clear so that problems don't build up. Eh, Works for us!

My longest relationship was 9.5 years. We were married for 2, and I recently left in February. Kinda weird starting out again... :)

Just under 12 years of marriage with a 16 month run up from when we started going out. We met in september 1988, I didn't much like her then, she admits she wasn't likeable then either! She had a failed relationship and then I picked up the pieces when we started going out in December 2000. We married in April 2003 and yes, even with my memory I still remember the precise dates of first date, marriage and decree absolute...how romantic! ;) We have almost turned full circle. She was my first of all those usual milestones.

I love my daughter and son.

My longest was 23 months. But, the last 7 months was god awful!! He would blow me off, ignore me, make dates then not show up. The last straw was when my parents flew out to Japan to see me and him and he didn't bother to wake up to see them off to the airport. He disrespected my parents,and that is a BAD THING!! I broke up with that one as soon as I got back from the airport. Dweeb!

Gibson:
Don't get too set in your ways. You're young and flexible. Not every date turns to crap. Some do, but, I don't let that get me down. And if they do, just remember. They will roast!! ROAST I TELLS YA !! And I will dance on thier graves with my next bf. Screw 'em.
( Not really. That's illegal,.....and gross!)

one woman six months short of half my life.

16, 1/2 years, I could have served less of a sentence for manslaughter. z:/


LMAO :D

15 years, 3 weeks, 4 days, 5 hours, 34 minutes, 23 seconds........................................... ..............."On creeps the petty pace, day by day, until I am but dust."

:mad:

hmm.. 2 years.. around there.

-michele

My ex and I just broke up two weeks ago. We were together for a year and nine months. That was my longest relationship. The funny part is, it was her shortest relationship. What does that say about us?

3years and its up in the air if we are still together.Never the less i love him, and will for a long time.
