Okay, so I am the only one I know that has only "been with" one person in my entire life. I was 17 when my high school boyfriend and I first consummated our relationship. Then, a couple of months later, we were married. We have been together for almost 13 years and I have stayed faithful without regret. So, my question is, how many of you out there are in the same boat as me?

hi,friend,thats great,it shows your understanding and coperation,and love among you both.very good,all th best. I am indian,i was married with a girl and we spent 16 years of married life.Last year she passed away and i am spending with my children and i am sure that i will continue my life with the sweet memories.There is no chance to another woman in my life. Likewise,in india 95% of the partners living life long with one partner only.

Just think of all the women who have lost their husbands and crave companionship in their later years. I think there is hope for you yet!!

It's nice to see that some countries still value their wedding vows. Here in America it is normal for people to have three or four marriages. My mother was married three times, my father also three times. My aunts and uncles have all done the same, they get tired with their current relationship and change to another, very confusing!

I introduce my wife as 'my first wife'. It seems to be the fashion to say 'second', 'third wife' etc. so it has a trendy impression to it. Yep, 37 years we've been married and still lovers.

Try it! There is usually a pause as the truth sinks in and then a good laugh!

I have been going out with my fella for 2 years now... we met when i was 16 and started sleeping together since i turned 17... he is the only one for me and i love him to bits... i couldnt imagine 'being with' anyone else... we are now engaged and still going strong... congratulations on the 13 years! I only know one other person who has had a relationship that long and that is my soon to be sister in law and her partner...
