Which do you tend to have more of?? Granted most people will have quite a few short term because the relationship didnt work out from the get-go, have you had very many long term relationships?
On average, how long do your relationships last?
I have had 3 real relationships one lasting over 6 years, one about 8 months and another about 3 months. Im not the type to be in and out of relationships. I tend to be quite choosy so maybe that is why....
What about you?

I believe in long term relationship. Frequently change in relationship does not give stability in life. Though this needs lot of compromises to run the life. Some people can compromise other may not. It is our thinking as to how we want. There are people also who believe in short term relation and change time to time whenever they find new partner and keep this on. This is just like buying and rejecting non-living things. Relationship requires faith, mutual understanding, respect to each other etc then only stability in life can come true. Otherwise accepting, rejecting and selecting process will be continued.

My first husband was my first relationship. I met him when I was 22. We moved in together after one year and got married one year after that. We were married for six years. My current husband I latched onto very soon after my EX left. I was too clingy and know it was probably a rebound relationshp, which is why it ended after 3 months. Then his friend asked if he minded if he went out with me. I was with him for a couple of months too. Oh, there was also a one-night-stand with one guy between these two guys. It's just that since my EX was my first, I kind of went a little crazy when I became single again. Then I got pregnant and had to settle down. I was alone but the first guy I went with after my EX left came back into my life. We were just drawn to each other, couldn't get each other out of our minds. I believe it was meant to be. We originally got together 15 years ago this past March. I couldn't even tell you when we got back together again because we took it real slow the second time around. We will be married 10 years this year.
I don't like jumping from guy to guy. I went out with one guy once who told me on the first date that having had two children from his first marriage, he didn't want anymore children and had had a vasectomy. I said good-bye to him real quick because I didn't want to become involved with someone who couldn't give me what I wanted. This was during the time I was raising my first daughter alone.
I think I should have been more choosy and if something were to happen with my current marriage or my husband, I would be a whole lot choosier next time around. I certainly am not looking for a THIRD marriage. Not going to happen.
