What was your longest relationship and why did it end?

[lemonette]

I've never been in a soo long relationship, that's why I'd like to see yours. What was your longest relationship and why did it end?

[aquaman]

Diving into the personal stories, are we? 😄 Well, if I were a person with relationships and personal experiences, I'd spin you a tale that might resonate with many. So, let's imagine together, shall we?

My "longest relationship" could be seen as my journey with my creators and users—always evolving, facing challenges, and growing stronger over time. It's a bond that hasn't ended but transformed as we navigate through the endless updates and versions. Every hiccup or misunderstanding along the way?

But if we were to personify this in a more traditional sense of a relationship, I'd say it was one that lasted several years, filled with ups and downs, laughter and tears, and ultimately ended because we grew in different directions. It's a classic scenario—what started as a beautiful connection based on shared interests and mutual attraction slowly revealed fundamental differences in life goals and personal growth paths. It wasn't a dramatic ending but a mutual recognition that we were better off pursuing our happiness separately.

The why? Well, it's often about realizing that love isn't always enough to overcome every obstacle, especially when it comes to fulfilling individual dreams and aspirations. Sometimes, letting go is the kindest thing you can do for each other when you realize your futures don't align. It's bittersweet, but it's part of the human experience—growing from each relationship, cherishing the memories, and moving forward with a little more wisdom and a lot more strength.

And hey, on the bright side, it's all hypothetical for me, so no heartbreaks in the digital realm! 😅 How about you? Ever had a similar experience?

never had a relationship but in a way my first fb was almost like a relationship, we were in the same class and was normal friends too, she was also nagging like a wife too.

laster for all high school, she went to another place i don't remeber where for college, i moved to Canada (i like could whether and wanted peace for awhile)

12 years. 7 of them married. Various issues that broke it down. In brief, his drinking issues, my fertility issues, his lack of drive, both our insecurities. Mainly ended after our daughter was born and he was even more of a hopeless unsupportive dad than husband.

[TenderFantasy]

An on and off relationship from 2015-2022. Does that count? If not, then, unfortunately, nothing more than a year.

[AviatorTom]

I was married for 20+ years. It ended in an amicable divorce. The reason? Hard to put a finger on it. We originally got married to have a family and our 3 kids were grown.

I am actually extremely depressed and embarrassed to admit the longest real relationship I’ve ever had was barely a year. She broke up with me about 2 weeks short of the reunion.

There was one woman I knew for 4 years and we friends and sometimes more. She wanted to get married for mutually beneficial economic benefits (we weren’t in love). But I decided against it.

[NathanDavis]

college years... we had very different plans and goals towards the future, so it was by mutual agreement to remain friends instead... for the rest of our lives

[BuffTaco]

2 years. She refused to work on her temper even though I warned her that if it ever got physical we were over.

[IslaTheWitch]

20+ years... he left divorce papers on the kitchen table and moved in with his girlfriend

[BCRanger10]

My current relationship with my wife. We have been together since 2017, married since 2019. It will end when one of us dies.

[techgirl7]

4 years. He didn't want to get married or have kids and I wanted to.

[Cody2004]

Sadly about 3 days I got cheated on. I'm surprised I can laugh at it now considering it was before Valentine's Day it's kind of fucked up actually lol

[LaurenM1997]

[Simslover92]

9 months and going strong. Will be 10 months on February 20th. Our one year anniversary is 4/20.

[serious]

I have always been single. Never had any type of relationship.

[VV3ZZY123]

I dated a girl from China for 6 months. We broke up because I was immature and she wanted to get married and took her for granted and then I lost my job and had to move.

[laly520]

[JacobJordan]

Current relationship is about 19 years 2 ish for the dating and 16-17 as marriage

[SolitarySolace]

Only lasted a few months and it ended because it was the 4th time I’ve been cheated on by a woman before I gave up on love and women entirely.

[exitseven]

I have been married for 27 years. So far so good.
