The relationship I am in now has been going on for a bit over six years now I was married before and that lasted for a little over 20 years. So, if things go well for you and your partner, you should be looking at a very long,happy time together

Everyone does have fights, they are inevitable. The thing to remember is never end the night without resolving your differences Life is too short to be spent angry!

I am going to be completing 2 years on the 17th Sept in my current relationship. I am very happy with the way things are going for us at the moment and we are actually going to be taking the big step-marriage that is- very soon. But yeah, I understand what you are saying. When you are 20, you still have a lot of the world to see and relationships may may not last long. You may outgrow it eventually but I hope you dont. Love is beautiful and does not come very often in life. And if you are happy with this guy then i wish you luck in it lasting.

When I was your age I never had relationship more than 3 months, that is if I can call it relationship hahah I tend to have a crush on older man, and thought that young men my age are useless. I don't mind being friends because it can be fun, but to have them as bf or further I just don't fall for it. So yea a few times we got close but as soon as they angered me then it's break up for sure. I just don't want to spend too much time for them. Even if you break up you still have a lot of time to find a new one, but if you are sure this person is the one then I guess you will have to give it all to keep the relationship alive. I'd say take it easy no rush, if this person is yours, then it will happen. By the way I am married now, for almost 8 years. He is 10 yrs older than I. I am lucky to have found him. That's all I can say.

And since this discussion is 4 months old, are you still with this person? From some of your newer discussions I got the impression that things weren't going so well with this relationship or am I mistaken on that? I was in a relationship, maybe still am, for 12 years. We never got legally married but we lived together for 11 of those years and have recently broken up. But not really broken up, just not living together anymore. I moved to another city because of medical reasons, but we still talk on the phone and by email and he has visited me a few times and I have gone to see him once. So we are still communicating and so I don't think we are broken up, just having some problems. I like to stay in the same relationship if there is a lot of love there. I don't like to give up on something that important and try to work it all out somehow. I don;t like to hop into another one, at least not till this one is done. Alrighty then, talk to you later my friend, Have a good mylotting day, Chris

i've been with my bf since i was 17... im 28 now so that would make it 11 years, and 9 years officially... i wouldn't consider it on and off.. i mean if breaking 3 or 4 times during the course of your relationship is on and off, then, yeah maybe we are.... but i am so happy we're still together... :)

I have been married for 10 yrs this December, but we have been together for 13 yrs. FOr your age i think 6 months is a good run for a relationship. At 20 i was already in a 2 yr relationship that lasted 2 more yrs, then i met my now hubby. My shorter relationships were before i was 18...good luck with your current one and may you continue to have many happy times.

Boyfriend and I have been together for 5 years and 7 months (this 8/28). When I first met him, he wasn't one of my favorite people to hang around with but six months was enough to reel me in. Hope you and your partner enjoy more years of a healthy, fun and loving relationship.

I've been dating Adam for 1 yr and 5 months now and recently got engaged! This is the man i'll be with for the rest of my life. Divorce is not in our vocabulary and will never be. When you say forever thats what it should mean!
