Is 2 years considered a long-term relationship?

[kinasakina]

Some people say it's still a "baby"relationship as their relationship is longer than mine (like 3 to 5 years long). Some people it's already considered long-term. Just curious.

[Sehaj]

yes and no. you answer that for urself.
hv u come across a lot together, how do u feel about it?

those telling u its a baby relation:
1. to make them feel a little more proud of their relations
2. coz they probably know how much more it takes to keep up relations through thick and thin which even u may by now know coz its been 2 years.

also at age 19 there are different pressures of life that u handle together which u very well have, and with time passing nd later age the kind of pressure changes, situations change so ur relationship will still have a lot to go through. coz keep in mind ur personalities still might change. which would make it difficult for one person to keep up with the changed person.

in short its still always a long way to go, but yes one can say its been a long relation in ur current phase of life.
if ur relation endures the next 5 years, dat would be realy sumthing to b proud of.
m at 4 years nd life can stil through an element of surprise now nd then

As far as relationships go, esp at your age, it is still a "new" relationship. Doesn't mean it is not a deeply entrenched relationship emotion wise. but I was with my ex wife 25 years. we were engaged for 5. 2 years is such a short amount of time when your talking about a lifetime.

You are 19, if I were you I wouldn't be staying in a relationship for 2 years. The younger you get married, the higher your chances for divorce. And if you are not considering marriage, then you are wasting a lot of time. I am 25 and I have just recently began a committed relationship and I wouldn't have had it any other way. My youth was drama free and fabulously fun, and I experienced so many things a relationship would have inhibited. My sister has been dating her boyfriend since she was 17 and now at 22 she feels stuck with him and miserable that she did not have fun the way I did but she doesn't want to live without him or start over with someone new. I feel very sorry for her. My answer is YES, 2 years is a very long relationship for a 19 year old. There is plenty of time to play house in your late 20's. ENJOY your young adulthood before you actually have responsibilities.

Yes it's long term.

Really to define a long-term relationship other than 1year + is your goals together as a couple. I've been long term with my boyfriend probably since about 4 months because of the plans we made at that point. But we've been together 9 months now, don't think either of have any plans to change that.

And I'm not being all oh I've not been in longer - my longest was 5 and a half years.

[dolphiny]

yeah i would say so. if you decide on spending time with someone for at least 2 years then you must be happy, and doing something right. soo... i can't see just dating someone for so long just "for fun" and then move onto the next one. 2 years is a pretty long time in my opinion.

[DamanMannn]

If you can make it past one of each seasons, then yes.
That's pretty long ! Keep it going ! Inspire us with your tales,

FOR WE , ARE MEN !
WE, ARE WOMEN !
WE, ARE GROOT !
.. AND MOST OF ALL..

Were freaking lonely as hellllllllllll mannnn, why u tink we on GaG. </3

[Secret22]

Ugh, people honestly need to get a life and learn every relationship is different (because mature relationships can happen at a young age too, even if it is rare). Yes, 2 years is considered a long relationship. People who have had a longer relationship and tell you that yours isn't long are just saying that simply just because it isn't long COMPARED to theirs.

[Mace93]

Yes I would consider it to be a long term relationship. The fact is yours has lasted longer than most relationships and no matter how long you've been together there is always more to learn about each other because we as humans are constantly growing and changing depending on the situations we are put in.

[katedepp32]

when you're a teenager or a young adult,2 years is definitely considered a long-term relationship.
however, as you get older, people don't just buy that. but that depends on the person you're talking with.
in my opinion,2 years relationship can be considered a long-term relationship.

[Nicu11]

I consider 2 years the first step in the relationship, by this point you know most or all of the good, bad's and in-between's.

But it does not have the challenges brought up by the things you dislike at someone that tend to accentuate over the years.

but I'm just over analyzing it. Two years is a great period in the relationship, and should be enjoyed to it's fullest!

[MixedTwit]

It's different for everyone, if u talk to someone who had only had relationships that have lasted months then a year or over long relationship is really long in their eyes. If u talk to someone who had had 5 year relationships or someone who is married, they r gunna tell u 2 years is nothin

[koibito]

To me it's not. But it's a nice time to say that you should know whether the person is right for you, by that time.

To me a long-term relationship is more about commitments, making plans for the future, and already starting on those plans.

[FlowerLovingFiend]

it's known in the psychological field, that you genuinely *know* a partner after 18 months. At that point, you should have all the information necessary to make the decision whether you want to marry or not (and vice versa).

[bryon]

It's not a baby relationship per say but is young to those who have been together longer. Mine is 18 and going. But in all honesty time does not = quality. Work toward the latter ( quality ) and time together will surely grow

[etpige]

It depends where you are in your life. That's a long term relationship for young people, but not for older people who are getting into the stage in their life when they are settling down. It just depends which stage in life you're at.

[SenorAries]

Yes definitely. A lot can happen in a year. 2 years is a long time. If you aren't looking at this significant other as marriage material by now, maybe it's time to evaluate the relationship. Have you become glorified friends with benefits?

[Tuts333]

I think 2 years is long enough to know where you plan to go in a relationship. I think by 2 years should tell you whether the relationship will be long term for marriage or it's just not meant to be.
But some times people need more time.

[forgottenmonkey]

I believe most relationships and its been awhile since I have seen any credible stat last 3-6 months so I would say yes based on that. Also just my personal take I think anything that hits a year can say its long term.

[tay554]

I think that is something that is different for each situation, i mean yes some are longer than others but it's just a number. your connection with this person is what matters and how strong it feels by now :)

[baseballbtc3]

Yes I would consider 2 years pretty long term. Granted im only 18 so 2 years becomes a bit more but I had a two and a half year relationship and it was a huge huge part of my life and has impacted me greatly

[Valentinasab]

Yes, it is a long-term relationship. To be honest, you can't really define what is a 'long-term' or 'short-term' relationship. It depends on each person's view of it and past experiences.

[kittykatg]

Yes because usually around 2 years things start to loose the charm and honeymoon phase. So yeah it's pretty long term if you guys are still happily together at this point.

[lemonlimetime]

I think so. My parents got married after dating for only six months and they've been married for fifteen years.

[523206720]

I think anything over 1 year is long term. My definition of a long term relationship is that you are not planning to leave any time soon.

[Klaatu51]

2 years is a very long time indeed.

2 years are about 3% of your FULL lifetime basically.

not a small percent.
