How long was or is your longest relationship with somebody? By June 14th this year I will be in my longest relationship which will be five years! For me this is my longest record. My second longest relationship was three years but I beat that mark. How long is your longest? Are you still with the person?

Dear Nixxi.....congrats on the 5 years....that is wonderful. It will be 12 years for my husband and I on Aug. 23rd It sure doesn't seem like it though. My husband looks just as good ( if not better ) as when we were first Married. We never use Bad language towards each other and we confront all issues together. ( That's the Secret ) Communication.

My longest relationship was six years. It was with my boyfriend from high school. We dated through high school and two years of college. We were engaged but ended up breaking off the relationship.... thank God! I am married to someone else now. We will have been married for a year on June first and had dated for two years before that. It may not have been my longest relationship as of yet but it sure is the best one. I would hope so considering we are married now! HA HA!

Wow that's great! A year is a long time while it seems to go by pretty quick. I'm glad you're really happy now with the man you're with! It sure is nice when we can trust and love someone that much to where we want to spend the rest of our lives with them. Amazing! Thank you for your thoughts

It's not very long, compared to yours. My longest relationship was a little over a year. (A year and a few months.) Me and my current boyfriend are rather quickly approaching that point, and I think despite the fact that our relationship is stressed due to the distance, I can't see us ending the partnership anytime soon.

Are you in a long distance relationship? I always find this is really hard for me to deal with. I give you credit for lasting this long. It can be hard at times seeing it's a lot easier if your partner would be able to be right beside you.

My present relationship with my significant other is my longest relationship. I have been with my boyfriend now for almost five year now, and we are still counting..=) Me and my significant other have been through a lot of trial already - from gossip to other's acceptance of our relationship - I guess that is the reason why we are so strong, we are always together in times of problems and difficulties. It is so great to be in this kind of stage of relationship - where you know the person already, you know his weakness and strengths, his turf and all.

I agree wormzydaizy. I think it's a great stage of relationship when you learn about the other person's likes and dislikes too! Little things they like, or hate. Thanks for your thoughts

My longest relationship is currently 6 years and 5 months. We so love each other. But sometimes, I do think that he's not the one for me. Most of the time, I think he is. It is both hard and fun staying on this long relationship. Because of the friendship and security that grew between you and your partner. Being in this long relationship is prone to boredom. it will totally depend on you and your partner. If you really wanna keep the relationship then you should make sacrifices, try new things and spice up your relationship. I think it is a requirement that both you and your partner should have one goal. So that, ultimately you can understand more your partner.

I'm pretty happy with my partner. We have our good and bad things that we've been through, but I don't know any relationship long-term anyway that hasn't. I fear of our relationship becoming prone to boredom, and I don't really think that will happen because there's too much love there. I would love to find new things to spice up the relationship but I'm not very creative with idea in that sense. Thanks for your thoughts blush

My longest relationship with somebody in my whole life is 8 years and know what? I ended up with him. He is my husband. We will be celebrating our 11th year wedding anniversary this September. He is the first and last relationship I had and same goes with him.

Congradulations dhangski on your 11th year coming up! That's so nice that you found the love of your life and you're still with him!

Mine is fairly unimpressive compared to yours, and probably most others. On the first of May I will have been with my boyfriend 7 months, and this is both mine and his longest relationship. Mine before this was 6 months, but his lol was a measily 4 days! I always found taht funny, and he told me on the fifth day that I should feel proud... Anyway we made it over the 6 month mark, which initially I really didn't expect. But things are going better now and I think we'll make it to the whole 12. lol.

Well bojangles I really hope you do make it to the 12 month mark! That's quite an important milestone in a relationship. I find the first years seems to go by so slow and I guess this because it's new, then after that the time just seems to fly and for my hubby and I we just can't believe it's going to be five years already in June! It goes the same as when you have children.. it's like someone pushes the fast forward button! Thank you for your comment and good luck with your relationship

To SAY truth it depends on the persons . . . The relation ship between child and parents or relation ship between boy friend and gal friend etc . . Like that . . For me stil nothing wrong has happened until now and avoided break up s and maintaining good relation ship s
