My longest relationship was also my first relationship. We met when we were 15 and instantly liked each other, but it took like 6 months until we said it to each other. After that we were together for over 3 years... basically we were living together but halft the time we were at my parents and the other half at hers.
Time flew by, and not unexpected for such young people we grew apart. During this time she had become very manipulative and kind of abusive and for me that already was a guy with low self esteem that kind of locked me in the relationship.
For about half a year I wanted to end our relationship, but since I was so "broken" I couldn't do it myself so I had to do som things I don't like that I have done. I had to reverse the roles and be the manipulative and abusive side myself just to make the entire thing crash by itself. (By abusive I don't mean any physical or sexual harm even though she did those things to me).
It worked and I made her break up with me. I was at my bottom for well over a year. Not only because of the break up. But because the break up caused other troubles for me that made it difficult to heal from the entire situation. I dropped out of uni. I started kind of a self harm by drinking and smoking a lot. Eventually I got myself under control again and started building myself up. And a few years later I finally beat the last trauma from her sexual abuse.
We ended as "friends", but the first 2-3 years we really didn't get along at all... like we tried to check in on eachother a few times but that always ended in a fight. But nowadays we actually get along... we don't hang out or anything like that... but we can have a quick chatt online sometimes and we now happens to meet at work sometimes and we have no problems talking to eachother.
I can't stress enough that most of the time we were together we had a good relationship. Since we were so young it kinda was ment to end by growing apart
Well it was over 20 years, when a lady your seeing casually send you a fax word a Christmas and a baby in it only thing you can do as a man is own your responsibility, I returned a fax with it's, and a photo of a mine opening meaning it's not certain if it's mine, before I can send a photo of the DNA double helix which has test with arrows pointing to the double helix from all sides, she sent over a fax saying got your hair sample test is understand as we speak or fax she corrected I was like damn she's really on top of things, so I married her raised two wonderful kids they went off to college and she went off somewhere so don't know where but that's life for you
My husband and I have been together for 17 years. I've spent about as much of my life married to him as I spent not married to him. Splitting up would definitely be insanely hard at this point. He's spoiled me rotten, and while I know other men would spoil me it just wouldn't be the same. He knows me too well, our lives are seamlessly integrated, and no other man is like him. Even if we suddenly stopped loving each other or lost attraction, we are family forever at this point.
The one I'm in now... Got together/lived together for almost six years before getting married five years ago... So a grand total of almost eleven years.
I've loved myself for 57 years, since the day I was born... wow! I'm awsome, trust me I don't fib.
Jesus for eternity... although sometimes I sucked it up due to fear. I confess it... I ask forgiveness and to do your will, Amen.
My wife for 8 years, but seems like I knew her before I knew her, ya know? I'm really lucky... not sure why I get so lucky, but I did. I prayed to God for such and I got blessed by surprised, what a "Chris't"mas present! Amen again!
Oh... I had a litter of amazing fur ball kitties for 12 years... that's a long relationship when ya got allergies! Mis them.
I've not gotten to know any sharks yet, but I watch videos... and dang, that be awsome to have a long term relationship with a Tiger shark!
I have been going through a break up after living together 6 years in it completely destroyed me mentally in a way I never could have imagined before. It's extremely difficult especially if it wasn't your choice to begin with but the most difficult part of it is finding yourself back while adapting to being alone again instead of together. I do believe it becomes harder and harder after a longer period of time spending together.
For me it felt nothing less painfull then having to attend a funeral because a loved one passed away. The pain is almost unbearable and it completely drained me of all the good feelings and emotions for a pretty long time. Nothing was important to me anymore during the first year and I struggled with keeping a positive attitude while fighting the negative emotions of depression. Really hard time I'm hoping never to experience ever again
A little over a year. It was fine. He PCS’d first. We still talk. None of my relationships have lasted over a year because I’ve been on tour oconus. Before that my relationships would either last a semester or an academic year, lol. I don’t think I’ve had any bad break ups
Still together. Haven't had a break-up in over 10 years and don't expect to. The most difficult break-up I had previously was only me being dishonest with myself and having a pity party. When I look back on it, I really didn't want to be with that girl anyway, I just didn't want to be alone at the time.
I never dated, and if my life continues the way it has for past 21 years, I will never date. They should make a movie about me. I'm currently the 44 year old virgin. I would call the movie, the 44 year old ship that is sinking.

3,5 months. She broke up with me because she wanted to see me daily while I was still busy with my studies (gratuation year) and lived 4 hours apart from her. She back then didn't worked nor school. So she had nothing to do every day apart from chatting me. We just werent compatible at that time.
1-5 years and we’re not together and yes the steps that led to our separation was outweighed the good moments…. Otherwise we’d still be together.
2-1/2 years in February 2024. Well it's pretty much over as she is moving to take care of family and Im not willing to move there. It's upsetting but life must go on.
