Longest Relationship?
 

List your 3 longest relationships, when they occurred, and why they ended.

1 year, 10 months: Fall of sophomore year until summer before senior year. Ended after major problems.

1 year, 1 month: Summer before my senior year of HS until summer before my freshman year at W&L. We broke up for college.

8 months: January of my freshman year until summer before sophomore year. Ended because he didn't want a relationship.

2 years, 1 month -- senior year in college; ended because he became a monster after 9/11 and we grew apart

1 year, 6 months -- senior year HS/first year of college, he was abusive, 'nuff said.

9 months -- sophomore year in HS, I dumped him because someone better eventually came along

1 year, 6months (give or take 2), frosh/soph year of college, I thought we were too serious. his family started bugging me out

umm, that was the only real realtionship. everyone else wasn't around long enough for me to define. most of my others lasted about 3 months. or less.

there is the "talk" boy...highlighted the other thread. possibly 3 months? maybe 9 months? eh.

4 1/2 years (college boyfriend, I started seeing him more like a brother and not like a boyfriend/luva/future husband).

Year and a half (we had nothing in common really looking back, he wanted me to convert to be a Jew a month into the relationship, and I am not religious at all and he was extremely controlling. He also is one of those people who always thinks he is right, only sees things in black or white and only talked about 4 topics: Law school, hiking, when he was in the navy and law school........)

Six long years

Two years, on and off but mostly on. Junior year of high school through freshman year of college. Ended because neither of us really wanted to do the long distance thing, we got bored of each other and the spark just wasn't there anymore.

One year -- freshman-sophomore year of high school. Ended because we were really young and didn't know what the hell we were doing. ;) He's still one of my best friends, though.

One year -- sophomore-junior year of college. Ended because I was severely depressed and we were going to take some time off so I could deal with my issues, and then he ended up hooking up with another girl two days after the start of our "break," dating her three weeks after, and sleeping with her less than a month after. He broke up with her as soon as he realized that by "taking a break" I had actually meant "take a break" and not "break up" (apparently he is either a huge idiot or I am a horrible communicator, but I am leaning towards the former), and though he spent the next few weeks insisting that I was The One and that she would never compare to me, it kind of made a reconciliation unlikely. ;)

Serious relationships:

1 year (coming up this weekend!) - We met last year in Feb and started dating in September.

10 months - my first year of college. A guy I knew in high school that graduated with my older brother. He took me to my senior prom and we started dating a couple months later. It ended because he started to get possessive and I couldn't (and didn't) want to deal with it.


Non-Serious relationships:

3 years - A guy I met working at a restaurant. We met at the end of the above mentioned 10 month relationship and dated on and off throughout college. Definately still someone I think about and wonder what could've been, but also happy with my man now!

1. 9 1/2 years. It ended because he changed a lot after we got married, not for the better.

2. 5 years. He became abusive after we got married.

3. 1 1/2 years. He wanted to play the field while in college.

Dee

Are we talking *pre* marriage relationships??


OTHERWISE

As of now...a lifetime in measure...it seems as though there have been none before he came into my life.... :)

It will end when one of us buries the other...and maybe not even then :)

8 months, freshman year of HS- ended because he was much older than me and we definitely weren't on the same page

6 months, summer after freshman and beginning of sophomore year of HS- ended because I didn't want to be tied down to one person

1 year, 2nd semester sophomore and 1st semester junior years of HS- ended because he had some issues with his family and wasn't able to deal with it and me at the same time

3 years, 7 months, started 2nd semester junior year of HS and is still going.

Two years of on and off but mostly on - freshmen/soph years of HS, we just wanted different things at that point

One year - senior year of HS, he cheated on me and we were going to different colleges

Two years - freshmen/soph years of college

~ 3 YEARS: Well, I had a best friend in high school, and me and him were pretty close to one another. We would go on random dates for 3 years.

~ 3 MONTHS: His family, especially his mom, freaked me out. He and his mom had this freakish relationship. It's just too hard to explain. The only thing I can really understand from it and only care to understand is his mom was completely obsessed with him. It was weird!

He was an only child and adopted (don't get me wrong, there are only children and adoptees that have normal relationships with their parents and turned out completely normal but he didn't). She couldn't have kids and there you go. That was the situation. This son/mother relationship was one of those things that made you go "bluhhhh!"

He also was freakishly religious. At the time, I was wanting to be a VH1 VJ, and he said he just couldn't be with someone that promoted such blatant sexuality and promiscuity by wanting that career. To him, VH1 is not as blatant about sex and sexuality as MTV, etc. but it was still there and, since sex was so evil, he couldn't be with or possibly ever be married to a VH1 VJ. He also didn't want to move to NYC b/c he couldn't be away from his dear old mommy.

Longest
13 years, 4 months, 13 days and counting....
This is, of course, Mr. KillarneyRose. He's unbelievably awesome, and deserves a medal for putting up with me for so long :)

2nd Longest
5 1/2 years.
This is College Boyfriend guy. Although having him didn't interfere too terribly much with my dating activities, I still wish I hadn't stayed with him during college. We went to school 450 miles apart most of the time, which I'm convinced is the reason we stayed together as long as we did. Once we were both living in the same city, it lasted less than a year.

3rd Longest
2 1/2 months.
Penguin Guy. Freshman year in college. He traveled a lot and I was most interested in hanging out with my sisters. Between those two things, the relationship piddled out quickly.

6 years - began summer before junior year of HS and the September after I graduated from college. In college we were off and on but mostly on. There were several issues that caused problems throughout the relationship but in the end I was had graduated and was ready to grow up a bit and he was going to be a super Senior and felt he needed to live it up. I don't really wonder what could have been, but I know he does.

11 months - beginning of freshman year of HS until summer before sophomore year. We weren't on the same page - we had different friends, he smoked a lot of weed and I didn't smoke.

8 months - just ended last month. We had some differences and he wasn't really ready for a relationship.

3 years, 7 months and counting with my TKE. :D

Besides that:

13 months, sophomore year of high school, with a guy 1 1/2 years older than me. He was pissed that I wouldn't give it up, so he broke up with me for a 15 year old that cheated on him. Hah.

1 year, 2 weeks - we grew apart for reasons i still don't completely understand. no big brawl or anything and we're still friends.

2 years: Sophomore - Senior Year in college. We had a long realtionship, and are still friendly. D and I broke up because he graduated and was going thorough a hard time I couldn't understand. Sometimes I feel he is going through a hard time I still dont' understand, but I wish him the very best and know if I can ever help him out, I will.

2 years off and on: High school/ freshman year in college boyfriend. We broke up at the begining of my sophomore year in college because we wanted to meet other people, and lived 2,000 miles away from eachother. He is now married, I think.

1.5 years (also off and on): 32 year old boy with 3 year old daughter. We broke up because after 1.5 years, we were not in love, and he wanted to go date women he could possibly marry in the next 2-5 years. I do not want marriage for another 7-10, so we weren't on the same life-page. Athough you might have been able to figure that out since he is 8 years older! Whenever we see eachother I can't help thinking, "If only he was 5 years younger...."

right now I am supersingle! It's fun

:cool:

Longest relationship: 2 years
Best Relationship: 3 1/2 days

my longest - 4 years and 364 days (5 years tomorrow!) :D

before that 1 year

2 years and ahem.. 2 weeks.. and still going :)
*started beginning of freshman year of college

3 months (junior year of HS) ... I just stopped liking him as more than a friend (after 2 months, the last month was me getting up the courage to end things)

all others under 3 months lol.. guess i lucked out w/ my current bf :rolleyes:

Here are my longest relationships:

1 year - we were too young, so really it didn't even wind up being a whole year. (And when I say too young, I'm talking 15 yrs. old)

1 year/ 3 months - May'98 - Aug. '99 Just gettin out of high school in '98. The reason it ended was because it was a long distance relationship and though I really thought it would work out, I had to end it. I just couldn't take not being able to see him any longer.

4 years/ 4 months - October '99 - Feb. 2004; first of all, we were off and on during that time. He couldn't make up his mind, so I finally had to let him loose (especially after admitting to me that he a girl pregnant!! :eek: I think that would be an exit mark for anyone out there! At least I could only hope so.)

3.5 years: My current relationship. He's put up with my brattiness and princess-attitude but still loves me. We've gone through a lot in the past year (his dad passing away and him just recently moving to Atlanta to pursue his PhD) but we're still going strong. What a mighty good man. :)

1 year: High school sweetheart. This ended right when we came to college because he started smoking 8 bowls a day (or more) and didn't bother to go to class. I joined a sorority and met hot fraternity boys that treated me better than my boyfriend so I dumped him. Best decision I ever made.

3 months: heh-heh...I was infamous for short-term relationships in high school. This one was with a college boy while I was a junior in high school. I thought I was the shit for dating a college guy while in HS but now that I look back, I think it kinda makes him a loser that he went to college, couldn't find anyone his own age, and then decided to pick up a girl who still had over a year left in high school. He cheated on me with another girl from my high school. I was devastated. Then, he flunked out of school and now works as a cashier at Costco. I win.

4.5 years
1 year
9 months

None of my relationships have lasted longer than a month. With the one that lasted exactly a month, we were together constantly which was way too much for a relationship just starting off. During that month I spent the night over at his place at least 10 nights if not more.

Its something about the 1 mnth mark that weirds me out and I pretty much self destruct the relationship. Yesterday would have been one month with my "hookup guy" (we just hookup constantly, and aren't seeing other people but he doesn't want committment) but I haven't heard from him since Monday night, so I guess I can't even last more than a month with just a hookup guy.

Longest relationship: Five and a half years. Lord knows how we made it so long. :D We broke up because of irreconcilable differences. (cliche I know but it's true!)

Every other one I had only lasted a few months at most.

Longest Relationship: 10 months and still going strong! Current boyfriend, most likely the one I'll be sticking with... we've got plans....

2nd longest: 7 1/2 months. I started dating this jerk my senior year of high school, he didn't like talking long distance when I left for college, so it was doomed from the start.

3rd longest: 6 months break up, and then another month later. First boyfriend I'd ever had. He was such a dork, it was just like having a best friend to call a boyfriend. We didn't even kiss.

The one I am in right now!!!!!!!!!! It will be 12 years on Halloween! Tomorrow is our 10th wedding anniversary!!!!!!! Ten years........

Boy does that freak me out.

~Two years too long with my ex

Currently going on two and a half :p

My current relationship is my longest. We've been together for 4 years and 4 months. Still going strong!

Before that, my longest was 3.5 years. He was ready to get married and I wasn't. Plus, I started seeing him more as a best friend and not a boyfriend. The romance just died for me. :(

4 years in college, ended because it had gone on longer than it should have to begin with and the distance got to be too much of a challenge.

For me....

My longest : 9 years (+2 of dating/engagement) to Mr. AChiOAlumna...like someone else on this board said previously...how he puts up with me sometimes is a wonder....but he's wonderful, so we'll keep him around!!! ;)

I also had a 4-1/2 year on again/off again relationship that lasted from my sophomore year of college until after graduation...

I had a 9 month relationship in my senior year of high school...

In between, I had a few 1-3 month relationships and a lot of dates...

3 years: 2nd sem freshman year to 1997, off and on. Broke up b/c he wanted to get married only b/c we got pregnant. Wasn't enough for me at the time, plus didnt want to be an Army wife. (But led to my other LTR, our daughter. :P)

2 years: we were engaged, had a BAD breakup due to miscommunication. We still chat every now and again.

~8 months: LDR. He didnt have ready access to a car and I was in school, working, and a single mom.

current relationship, 1 year, 8 months. So far so good. Met the 'rents, grandma, brothers, HS best friends, went to family reunion and everything. We are cool. :P I lub him and stuff.. lol.

my longest ever was one month :(

BUMP for the holidays.

Longest relationship: One year, 10 months.

Good riddance--I can say that now.

1.) 2 1/2 Years
2.) 8 months
3.) 6 months

1 year 18 days:D.......and still counting!

Longest relationship: 2 years 2 months

I love me my Jonathon.

1yr 7 mo - april 2003 - november of 2004 -- wasnt really a "relationship", <- real healthy, but all his brothers knew me as his "girlfriend" & my sisters thought of him as my "boyfriend" (go figure :rolleyes: ) broke it off becauseeee he decided to forget to tell me that he was seeing someone else :eek:

1yr6 m - oct 2002 - march 2003 - my highschool sweetheart, we had life planned out for each other too. i moved from ny - vegas with my family in jan '03, and he didnt know when his family was moving here, and the 3000 mile difference kind of winded us out, i joined my sorority, met all different kinds of people and just kind of grew apart from him . we still talk & see each other though, he moved to vegas about 2 months after we broke up, & hes still close with my family in both vegas & ny, so he comes home to ny with me when i go back ... weird. he does have a girlfriend though ... with the same name as me :cool:

and before him it was like a 9th grade til meeting the above boyfriend thing - he was 2 years older than me and SO cool :rolleyes: it was the on again off again situation. again, very healthy. now hes getting married to some nasty girl !!
