how long was/is your bf-gf relationship so far?

According to others who is old enough that long term relationship would break up at the end. I also observed it to some of my older sisters (family friend) which i could find it true. I do believe that its up to the couple how they handle things. I know no matter how short or long term relationship you have if you are meant for each other then thats it. However in my case my boyfriend and I are now 3 years and getting more stronger. I hope this will not end up to nothing.

I don't think that time is the only basis to why couples decided to get married. My cousin had a boyfriends for less than a year and after that they got married. They were happy to be together. I have an aunt who had a very long time romantic relationship with her husband but after they got married, the guy just transformed to be somebody my aunt didn't expect to marry.

Hmm. I think it really depends on the people in the relationship. There are some who is going for 10 years already but still does not have any plans on getting married, and there are those who are together for just a couple of months but are already planning on getting married. Personally, my boyfriend and I are already going on our 4th anniversary this June. We already have plans on getting married, the only problem is money. But in a couple of years, I'm sure we'll be getting married.

I've been with my boyfriend for ten years. Before ending our eleventh year, we hope to be married already. :) I guess it doesn't really matter how long you've been together before you get married...

If relationship goes longer than 3years with marriage

I've known this guy for two years, and then learned that he liked me. But the situation at that time was complicated, so even though we were already liking each other, we had to somehow control the feelings. We were best friends along the way though. Two years after that, he finally told me his feelings (although I already know that, since it was obviously, but for formality's sake, I guess, he had to speak up). What he said was like, I'll have to ask you to wait for two years. So it wasn't a formal proposal but we just understood that it was. We were on for two and a half months, then he formally proposed with the direct "Will you marry me" question and the ring and all. We'll be getting married this year, making it almost six years since we first met.

Yeah I heard stories like that- a long term relationships of 6 to 8 years yet instead of getting married they end up parting ways..well it's so sad because it took you many years to know that person yet he/she is still not the one that's meant for you..Well I guess if that person is really not for then he/she will never be.. Move on and If a love come again don't rush too much..know each other firsts..it's hard to adjust later than now..=) My boyfriend and I, we've been together for more than six years and we are still happy..hopefully this will lead us to a happy ending..ending of being gf and bf and start of being husband and wife..=)

Its around 1 year with my girl friend. Our relationship is going fine and we are enjoying the relationship.

My partner and i have been together for five years. we celebrard our fifth last 5th of march.. it was a blast.. we stayed at tagaytay haven hotel for a day... we visited one destination, bag of beans and other beautiful places... you know, i can't live without my hubby... he's been my partner and bestfriend in life..

I love someone, and we know eache other for 8 years. I think that i know about him, the most important things, we live in different places. I'm be able to married, but he don't. The most importan for a marriage is that bout want it. A person always change. And it not depens about time, depends of bout want it at the same time.

Me and My GF just celebrated our anniversary last week and so far my relationship with her is going strong. There are problems though I know it is normal that we have lots of them. I am just being positive that any problems that I encountered with my relationship with her will be resolved in the end. God bless

I've been married for 10 months and we were together for about 9 months before we got married and just over 4 months before we were engaged. The funny thing, though, is that I knew we'd get married by the time of our first date. I know a lot of people have these different rules about how long you're supposed to be together before you do certain things, but I think that just because it worked for them doesn't mean it is the rule for everyone. I just trusted Jesus Christ with the decision and went along with what I believe He wanted me to do. I feel like He made the decision for me and it was the right one and my life is a thousand times better for it, my wife is amazing.

i agree. but sometimes, depending on how old you are, it takes a while to actually figure out if you want to marry your bf or gf. sometimes it just isnt meant to be at all. you really have to think before you make the wrong decision and regret it.

i spend 4 years with my relationship, before i get decision to get merried. in relationship, i think no matter how much years you will spend it. depends on personal.if you think in a few month you and yours have understand each other, have a plan to get merried, just do it. life is unpredictable, just enjoy it

Well, I believe people should only enter a relationship when both of you are ready to give 101% of yourself. I guess that somehow guarantees that two people are sure of what they want, and it's likely that it'll end in marriage. If the other partner is only experimenting while the other had fallen in love for real, it would be unfair since one of the two will definitely get hurt in the end. Different people have different ways of handling relationships, and have different beliefs and values as well. Thanks for letting me share mine.

For me 2years is better to know it's other because if it long then the situation is you get tired of everything in your relationship when time to break up it is so hard to handle the situation because you can't let him go.

My husband and I started dating and by 2 months, we were engaged. Around 6 months after we started dating, we were married. I don't think there is a time that is best. It all depends on the people. We got married quickly but we have never regretted it. We are going to hit our 2 year anniversary next week and I still love him and am still in love with him. I couldn't be happier.
