What's the longest relationship you've ever managed to hold down?

Me = 2 1/2 years but that was with a girl, with a guy is 6 months

3 years...it was a bit tumultuous though

3 and a half years... with a guy. I was unfaithful. He hung himself a while after we broke up. Lesson learned? I thinkie so

Oh luv don't blame yourself, honestly people who suicide have their own internal bullshit going on that stems waaaay back.

*hugs*

Hey I dont deserve the hug in this case but thanks anyway weather . I know it wasnt just me but I guess the positive thing to come out of it all is that I will never ever cheat again.

I have a 2 week curse. Everything is peachy for the first fortnight and then it all turns to shit. either I freak out about losing my independence and having to answer to someone or they lose interest.

Gawd lets see how long this one lasts... lol

two week? oh star-child I haven't been with anyone for MONTHS! :P

Oh I had a pretty bloody dry patch before recently. Dont worry Ratty... It never rains, it POURS!

Yeah Star, a girlfriend and I have been calling this the chinese year of the spunk rats because we've had more sex this year than we'd previously done in our entire lives haha

Strange that Mr Rat ain't gettin a piece of that?

Mine is 6.5 years with a divorced man with three kids! I don't know how I did it on reflection.

we met in may 1995 .... so .... coming up to 14 years ..... is that odd ...I get alot of Oh !!! Congratulations !

The difference is that we very much distinguish between life partner & the people who we might have sex with from time to time.... TRUST me after nearly 14 years ... we have been through almost any drama....

does THAT mekae me sound old ?? My parents know a couple who have been together for like 40 years !!!!

5 years. There was of course several smaller relationships that ran alongside this one - some may call it being unfaithful but Mama prefers to think of it as giving hubby a night off every once in a while

1 year and almost a half!

4 months (I have issues). lol

Loves it.

6.5 years, and I've been single pretty much ever since

My current one is a dead heat at the moment with the one before. So far 4 1/2 years with my bf Erik and my last relationship with my ex fiancee was about the same before she left me when I told her I wanted to transition. I don't think I've ever had a relationship under a year but then again I've only ever dated one guy (recent) and all the rest were women.

0 days *crosses arms with bratty face* seeing as I've never been in one!

There I've confessed and opened the floodgates for the other loveless people to fess up!

I'm getting depressed reading this thread. Everyone has had an adverage of 2-3 years in a relationship. Am I missing out on something??

I would not have the faintest idea what it would be like to be in a relationship with someone for that long. The compromise, the trust, the compassion, the respect for each other must be pretty intense for it to last that long.

I wish I had that.

3 special r'ships -

1 x 20 months - first love, still friends. kinda.
1 x 4 months - was good but not good enough
1 x 3 months and counting (can see this one surpassing them all!)

Don't worry, sometimes relationships go on longer than they should before they end. Anyway you still have plenty of years ahead of you!

1: 2 years 11 months (still good friends)
2: 4 months (a very bad experience with bitter memories. I left the country.)
3: 2 weeks...I know...it was good while it lasted though!
4: about 7 months (still friends)
5: coming up to 7 years & going very well...but we've been living in separate cities
for the last 2.5 years :-(

12ish months

Dude you are hot, just put it down to partners insecurities about being with such a hot guy.

it might an average Anthony...but was a long wait between drinks let me tell you my second was maybe 6 months, third was only about 3 (i'd call that extended dating really), and my last was a year (but it was a seperation that should have been quick but dragged on for months) and the first was an abusive relationship....so I don't think you are missing out on anything really!

7 years this coming Sleaze Ball weekend........and no I haven't got the seven year itch. Staying with this one for good - everything is peachy. Luv having someone to luv and visa versa.

Thanks guys for making me feel better.

To be completely honest. I don't think it's my looks that are the problem. Personality could do with a bit of spring cleaning.

I agree with Weather.. You are smokin Hot Ants FFS. Just because people have had long relationships doesn't always mean they were a thrill ride of joy and happyness. Enjoy yourself now, play, play and play some more.. Stressing bout being in a long termer is pointless hun as you never know which one is going to be that one.

I had a drought of all contact with people when I came out and began transition in 2003. I had lived most my life scoring hot girls as a boy and then bang.. nadda.. 2 years without any interest apart from tranny chasing trolls online who are as appealing as one of my relatives being raped and screened in front of me.. Extreme but you get my drift. It was like I became a leper overnight. LOL

I'm sure yer personality is fine.. I've met you and think yer tops.. If I could lose a few years and convert you to trannys I would :P

when you say screened do you mean a pap smear after the raping?

Don't know whether or not you did, my mind just jumped to that, I blame La Fura Del Baus for my depravity if in fact I was wrong.

Maybe you just needed to get into you, in my two years of Gender purgatory(Bisexuality) the sex I got was all horrible and confusing. It wasn't until I reshifted my attention to other elements of self that I think I attracted my first Boyfriend in some cosmic way.
