I am in a relationship with the same man for 25 years next Monday. I'm very happy with our relationship. I have the best man for myself. In fact, out of his three other brothers I have the best one out of all of them. He is compassinate, helpful, works hard, loves to cook, can fix just about anything, and is just a joy to be with. I have been blessed to have found this man who loves me as much as I love him.

Hi dominique! I noticed that also.. lelin is very appreciative of her husband's effort and work, that could be the reasons why they reached 25 years of togetherness and still in love to each other...

I am happy with my relationship. It depends on how you look at your relationship. The nearness or farness does not matter as long as there is trust. Though I can say that my special someone is not a sweety one (like teenagers)I can feel his love on his special way of showing me.

That's true not all men are sweet, but what I'm sure of they have distinct and unique way of showing their love to the girl.. No matter how unique it is what really matters is you have understanding that lead to a long lasting relationship.

Well my relationship with my husband is good. Like most relationships we have ups and downs of course. But over all I think our 3 year marriage has been good for us and what we have goes throw together so far has made our relationship stronger and better for us.

We're doing good and we are on our 14th year already. We have so many differences but as we go along we are able to work them out for sure. i think all relationships go so many trials but it is valuing your relationship that matters most to avoid complications.

Right now i'm in a long-distance relationship. We've had our ups and downs but we've been happy. Relationships are never easy and long-distance relationships require so much patience, so we are doing our best. For a couple in LDR we've been doing pretty great. So, yes. I am happy.

I have a truly wonderful boyfriend. Things are not always easy because he works full time and also goes to night school for 4 hours every night, so we don't have as much time together as we used. At first, it was very hard for me. But now Ive learned to cope with it better and realized that I needed to be stronger because he is working so hard. He is the sweetest man I have ever known, he will text me out of the blue just to tell me that he loves me :) I am extremely lucky to have him as mine :)

I really enjoy hearing others love story and about how their relationship is going well. My relationship on the other hand is not going well. I'm not sure where it will lead us but I know that it isn't going good and I'm not happy. A lot of things will need to change in order for things to improve.

Hi dominique! when you are sad and mad with your partner try to think and remember those old times that your partner's had.. those happy moments those efforts she/he did to you.. with that, would help you to lessen and avoid you from falling out of love with your partner...

I have a partner right now, he's the father of my 2 year old son. We are not yet married but we live together and so far, in our 4 years of relationship, things have gone rough but we managed to overcome those and stick by each other's side.

Hi.. Just be patient in waiting.. I believe we all have a soulmate so, if he come do not let him go.. give that person an opportunity to be part of your life..According to my mother, in choosing a man of you life .. prayers is important, because not all person that you might meet and to fall in love is not a nice one..

Hi Cttolledo! :) I am happy to share my 3-year-old married life. So far, so good. ;) My partner and I are very new to this, we're both our the first BF/GF and now husband and wife. *giggles* So we're kinda still knowing each other as married couples. We're learning each other's good and bad sides and trying to change and accept them. Oftentimes we quarrel because of personality differences and misunderstandings. We also have an eight years of gap but it doesn't affect relationship much. What greatly affects our differences is our background. I came from an average family and the eldest daughter among five siblings. He's more of above average family and the youngest among six children. I work hard to get what I want so I developed being a thrifty and much more responsible. He's more laid back and going with the flow. I provide to my family and his older siblings still give him something even though we have our own family already. So most of our quarrels are personality and belief differences. He's more emotional and I'm more strict in terms of child-rearing. He likes to be spontaneous and I'm more organized. During our first year, we're almost cutting each other's hearts and heads with sharp words. Then at the second, we don't talk to each other. And I almost left him, well of course I have our child with me. Now, in our third anniversary, we develop to confront each other calmly. I always initiate the talk since he's more keeping to himself than sharing. Hopefully we can still widen each other's acceptance and understanding of each other. And would keep our relationship forever. :)

Overall I would say I am happy in the relationship I'm in. My relationship is a little complicated because of how it started. i started dating this guy at my job (which i knew i shouldn't). Even though he wasn't usually the type i go for, his personality and his wittiness attracted me. He's also really good at what he's going to school for, phycology. Long story short, he ended up being a jerk and never kept his promises of us being friends. He completely ignored me at work and i just didn't get it. i was very hurt. One day I came over to visit and his friend from N.Y was down. From the first time i saw him, i thought he was very cute. And on top of that when i met him, he was cleaning his friend's room. i thought who does that? he even made dinner for his friend and my little cousin. My ex was being a complete jerk to me and his friend. he sat there the whole time and played video games and his friend wanted to go to the store. So i took him. after we got back, i felt unwelcomed and decided to leave. i said bye to my ex and he just saluted me and continued to play games. i was shocked and hurt. His friend was like "I'll walk you out." so he walked me down stairs and to my car. Next week i added him on Facebook. Months later we ended up talking and made this crazy connection. Every relationship i had, every love song i heard made sense. i knew i found my soulmate and he felt the same exact way. Even though he was in N.Y i could feel him. We realized the seriousness of this and decided to tell his friend (my ex). He was not happy about it. He tried to tear us apart and told his friend that people at work were saying that i was only talking to his friend to get back at him and i would never. He gave his friend a ultimatum. I felt really bad, so i decided that I'd talk to my ex (i wish i never did that). He tired to manipulate me and told me all these negative things about his friend (true or not). He tired to destroy my world and force me to stop talking to his friend. and he did the same thing to his friend, but his friend and i chose to stick together because we love each other. so after I got off the phone with my ex, i was really confused and prepared myself for the worse. I knew my ex's friend would choose me, but i didn't know anymore. My ex made me feel really confused to a point where i didn't know how i felt and all those happy feelings went away and that amazing connection we shared, was gone. BUT even though i don't feel like i feel that way, i still love him and care about him. i guess that amazing attraction i first felt isn't there anymore. And my mind feels super confused at times, to a point where it hurts. is it normal to feel this way. will it ever completely go away?

Next month my husband and I have been married for 4 years. My husband is very jealous, and his jealousy causes problems in our relationship sometimes. When we see other men he thinks that they are interested in me and that they are trying to take me away from him. That is not true at all, but it is hard for him to let go of the thoughts about other men and he sees almost any man as a threat. He´feels that he isn't good enough and that it would be easy for me find another man who was more attractive or interesting than him. I have told him many times that I love him and don't intend to find another man, but it is hard for him to believe me. Aside from his jealousy I think that we have a very good relationship and he is the person that I want to spend the rest of my life with.
