Would you date someone who had a long relationship before you?

Question

Sugar100 · Accepted Answer

I used to think it was good if a guy had a long term relationship before you but as I’m older I learned it’s red flag.

The only guy I dated in my life was a fuckboy & he had a serious relationship with his ex so I thought oh that means he’s a serious guy & he’ll have a serious relationship with me….

& no I learned that he only loved THAT girl and he was only serious for that girl which is why he had serious relationship with her. & he don’t like or love me.

so it’s red flag I also don’t believe a guy that had a very seeious relationship before Will want another serious relationship so new girl will he rebound or someone he uses

Yes. You literally cannot change the past. Why ruin something potentially good just because the past isn’t the way you want it to be?

I have and would again. and it is sometimes difficult to measure up to the person that preceded you emotionally, spiritually and physically.

I have had a companion animal, that I had almost from birth, to death 18 + years and find it difficult to replace him. Long term relationships can leave a person really devestated.

Ofcourse yes, because he/she knows how to handle a relationship so less misunderstandings. This is positive thing

At my age, I would be far more concerned about a woman who had NOT previously had any long term relationships.

I've been married 20 years. If my wife died and I was dating again it'd be somewhat hypocritical to not date anyone who had a long previous relationship

That is tough. She will have to be single for at least 3 years just so she can heal from the past relationship otherwise I think it would be a mistake to try to date someone that was in a long term relationship with someone else.

I would only date someone who's only been in long relationships.

CrabCakes11 · Answer

Why not? I can’t fathom how this could be a problem for anyone

ProbablyClueless · Answer

Of course. Why wouldn't I? That's usually a sign that someone is a bit more stable.

how long of a relationship? 3 years would be normal. 7+? i'd have to think about why they want to date so soon after that.
