10 Years in a loving relationship

My longest is 1 year and 3 months, I think. I should be proud because I got over one year but the relationship was basically a train wreck waiting to happen.

It's been 479 days since I haven't married my fiancee yet. We're not getting married till he actually gets me a ring, and I turn 21 (since he said he'd marry me any time etc) so it'll give us more time to save up for the private wedding. I'm sill fairly young but it's all good. ^^ He isn't going no where and nor will I if you seriously love someone and are committed to them, and you have ought most mutual trust then marriage is completely an option as long as you remain faithful to that person and put your ought most trust in them. That is how I see what's going on with Dave and Emma... D: 10 years?!?! o.o Looks like neither of them are ready to settle down and save up hard earned money for future purposes instead of just kicking back live the married life and have kids (not right away, but in the looooooooooooooooong run). I don't know any couples who are like that but I can picture how it would be like. It takes time getting use to the not living together part since there are times when you need the one you love by your side. Especially if you see the people around you in public hugging, kissing, and doing all that stuff that you know your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, or wife would do with you too. I get pretty jealous and worked up sometimes but I got use to it because I'd be doing better and doing the same thing tenfold. :) But back to Smiley and I, we'll still be pursuing our careers and getting rid of financial debt separately before even settling down to purchase our own home and raise a family. o.o We'll help each other out during emotional and physical stresses. As for financial? We'd probably give each other the best advice we can give as a game plan with the "what's next" part to our budget since I know money will be slightly tight since him and I are both starting out - and we're also currently right now college students living elsewhere. Terrific... _ But I'll live. I'll be finished in July which would help me kick start on my career and work on my own game plan with how I am going to pay off my debts --- lotto isn't always the option. T_T

You know what, I really want to get married, but eventually, I found that my relationship with my ex is not working anymore, we have been together for more than 4 years, that is a pretty long term of relationship too. Well, since it is not working out for me, I won't want to stay in this relationship either.

This coming October it would make my boyfriend and I 4th year anniversary. Time for us has gone by so fast. Married is not what either of use wants right now. We do see it in the future, but I had school and my career and my boyfriend already has is career. We are still getting to know each other and is not in a rush. I want to be developed in my career before I start to have a family. Now if I was in a 10 year relationship and haven't gotten married yet, some women see that as a bad thing. Meaning he will never marry you, because you are comfortable with just being a girlfriend. I've always hear "once you live with a man single, he'll take forever to get to the ring" i.e wedding ring. But hey, this works for some people and not for others. To each its own and I hope their relationship last and last!

My longest relationship without being married was only 4 years. Sad to say we didn't end up together. Maybe its not meant to be. Anyway I'm thankful because I found the one who's really meant for me and we're married for 12 years now
