I am in my longest relationship hasn't ended. I am in it. It is with my husband. From meeting,dating, and being married has been 13 years. I wouldn't trade them for anything. One of the things my hubby taught me is I can trust HIM.

my longest relationship have been bout a year and a couple of months. It ended because of misunderstandings. I learned not to get mad over crazy little anymore. And if things are meants to be they or it will be.

My longest realtionship is with my husband - we have been married for 8 years now, and have been togeter almost 9 years. The one lesson I have learned is that marriage is a commitment that takes a lot of work.

My girlfriend and I are still together for 2 years now. It's a very happy 2 years for the both of us. One thing that we learned from the relationship is that we have to always know the two sides of the coin, especially when having quarrels and stuff. It's so good to just sit back and relax and talk about things and not make anger the issue at hand. We are always enjoying simple things we do as long as we're together. I can feel that she's my soulmate, that one girl for me. And I'm really happy.

It lasted 7 years and i finally broke it of, because he drank way to much was very abusive only when he was drunk thou and he never had a job longer than a couple of weeks. Now i'm with my new honey for 6 years and i'm going to beat my old record.

My longest relationship was 5yrs with my sons father. He was awesome for the first two years but after that he started getting abusive and having me do things that I knew were wrong. And for a long time I just stayed becuase some of the stuff that we were involved in. I thought that he loved me even though he was doing some of the things that he was. I had just gotten out of a 2 yr relationship when I met tony my sons father. He told me everything that I needed to hear. I definitely learned alot from that relationship it turned out to be nothing but heartache I didnt even have the guts to leave him until I found out that I was pregnant and I couldn't let my son grow up in a home like that. So now when I get into relationships I look for things little clues that I should have looked for when I was with tony. Like how they act towards me or how they treat me and the things that they say.

My longest realationship has been with my husband. We have been together for 8.5 years and married for seven. We did break up once when we were dating and we decided that we loved each other enough to make it work. We have tons of fights and arguments and don't agree on everything, but we have decided that we mean enough to each other and our kids mean enough to us to make it work no omatter what. We want our children to grow up with both parents and have a loving home so we constantly are keeping each other in check. We do love each other, we are each others best friend in the world. We shareT everything, every emotion, every thought and spend most of our free time together with our childre. Other than my husband, the longest relationship was a year and it was long distance so it was never a good thing. Aside from those two, I only dated one other person and that was only for about a month. Through all of my expierence in relationships, I have learned that respect, love and communication are key. Honesty is the very most important thing though. Lack of honesty will RUIN any relationship. You cannot have a lasting relationship without knowing that you are secure with your other half.

Hi berryliciousme! It is my current relationship which I consider the longer one than the other. I get to compare only two, because I have only one ex-boyfriend. With my current boyfriend, we are together for six years and five months already and going and going and going . My past only took almost two years. I guess it didn't work because he is younger than me, and at that time, we were still in college and really young to understand everything about love and life. He was so immature and self-centered. . I learned that it takes two mature people for a relationship to work. Anyway, I am just as glad to know that it's already done and i am having a wonderful life with my current boyfriend. I couldn't ask for more.
