My longest relationship was 8 months and I fell out of love and in the future I pray to God that doesn't happen to me again or to my future man. I decided instead of being scared that my relationship won't last, I'd rather not date at all right now, when the time comes for the right person that's when I'll think about being serious. I noticed my best friend from elementary school doesn't believe in love or doesn't plan on making her relationships work, you know why? -well because she dates too much, I have a theory tho- if you date throughout your whole life, in the future you will be extremely bored with your mate, it won't look good or feel good for either one of you because you will already know the process--
-meet each other
-go on dates and watch movies together
-meet the parents or sometimes not meet anyone and remain anonymous.
-make-out, have hot erotic sex
-get bored of each other
-and most and the best, break up..
I was with a guy for around 5 years then it crashed and burned big time. Yeah it did suck a lot, yeah it is emotionally scarring.
There were problems from the beginning, but the pros outweighed the cons, so I kept thinking everything would work out. Things kept getting worse, but it happened so slowly I didn't notice until stuff started to get way too stressful and then we drifted apart and it ended.
ive had a 6 and a half year relatioinship that ended we held onto something that was not good for either of us eventually we called it a day are still friends and in contact on good terms he is seeing someone else and so am i, I'm with the new boyfriend almost 4 years and its right but without the experience of the first one I wouldn't be the person I am today or nearly as happy
My longest relationship was almost 6 years. It was hard because our lives were so meshed together. So seperating everything we had, sadly, including friends, was really hard. But it actually didn't hurt as much as some others, I think because in that time, we'd also had time to drift apart. We are still friends now, and his wife is one of my best friends.
No kidding! It would suck so much. I'd say limit to at most a year. If there are problems I'd say you know in the first 6 months, and you'll surely know in 9 months or so. I know I'm in a relationship and I can't get out of it, because I'm always thinking it can get better. It will be better and its not.
I think we fool ourselves. When you have doubts, when you really start thinking, It's likely to be over then and there its a matter of actually ending it. The ending that can take time, and the longer it takes the worse it is.
I'm in a year long relationship and I want to break up and I know its going to be horrific. I can't stand it , but I know I have to do it! [ See my question posted !]
So try to keep it at a year, when your fighting and your doubting you should end it there! Be strong and good luck !
my first raletionship lasted for three years and seven months and eleven days.we've broken up for three months. I was painful for more than two months,beacause the break up ,i learn smoking, drinking...now I'm better than before.i won't start a new raletionship in few year, I don't want to love any more.now,i don't have love in my heart.

Fear shouldn't stop you from having a relationship.
Never stopped me.
And I've been in a relationship where the guy beat and raped me (and had his friend rape me)...
I'm still out there in the dating pool, because I shouldn't be afraid of trying to love.
I don't want to be a shut in with like...a billion cats.
I had a 3 year relationship up until recently. I can't find the words to describe how awful it is, and how much it truly sucks. To have sacrificed so much effort and time to build up a relationship only to have it come crumbling down so fast, it's tough to take.
I wouldn't say I'm scarred from it. Like everything else in life, I just gotta take the positives and go from there. I see it as experience for future relationships if nothing else.
My friend, who is 25, has been in a relationship with the same guy for 9 years. They met and started dating when she was a junior in highschool. They got engaged in 2009. Then they had their first broke up and they've been apart for a couple of months. Now they recently got back together. It's hectic.
my longest was with one guy for a year and a half then he started to treat my best friend/ his cousin like some damn girlfriend then I was like ew what the heck & we broke up & then we tried it again and other stuff happened and now he was like I'm in love with you then he says he wants to bve friends and he moved really close to me and I think he's a little weird and crazy but whatever.
8 months... I thought I was happy with her just because I knew she wouldn't cheat on me. but I was never really that happy and we never really connected on an emotional level. I had trust issues because of a previous relationship in which I got cheated on multiple times. I knew she wouldn't cheat on me so I felt secure. but I wasn't happy and I knew we had no connection...
My first relationship lasted for 2 years and 2 months and 17 days. The longer the relationship, more painful the break-up. Yeah, I am a li'l scared about having another serious relationship, for the time being, I don't want any serious stuff.
I dated a girl, back in High School. While our romantic relationship only lasted a couple of years we developed a deep and lasting friendship that only ended when she died of cancer.
I've never had long relationships and don't plan to and even if I had, I wouldn't be so sad after the break up. Just try remembering all the fun times you had, if that would make you feel more sad, then dont. :/ But I always looking at the good side of the fence. There's always plenty of fish in the sea...and no..if you think she's special, different..or has something that other girls dont..trust me, she doesnt. It's only the blindness in your eyes.
3 years. She left and It absolutely destroyed and devastated me. I put everything I had into it.
That would mean my wife.
From the time we started dating that would make it 15 and a half years.
I've only had one :-/ and that only lasted 2 months
Longest was 3yrs. No I'm not scarred because of it. Honestly it didn't bother me at all, maybe because I was the one to end it. Just got back with an old girlfriend so hopefully this will be my last relationship.
i've only been in one relationship, it lasted about 7mths.
I had 12 years relationship, but it failed(( I don't think that my time was wasted. It's life.
I'm still in a relationship...this one has been my longest of almost 3 years.
The last relationship I was in. 4 years total, well almost, but 3 of them were married. Whole thing fell apart and I told her to leave. So now the recovery begins.
never had one for longer than 2 months...wait maybe one and half month was my longest
Go with the flow and if the breakup happens then it was definitely not mean to be.
We're still together - close to 3 years
it was 5 years and a half and it failed
