My first long term relationship happened when I was 13...it was only about 6 mths..the next long one was when I was 16 and he was 27...we were together for almost 2 yrs (lived together etc)..both break ups were because of my personal issues etc (I had it rough as a kid and just got worse the older i got)....My absolutel LONGEST relationships are the two I'm in now..My husband I've been with for going on 10 yrs and my bf for going on 11 yrs (off an on for both but more on with my husband and off with my bf..hard to explain LOL) and both are still going strong :-D

I was 20. I was with him for four years and yes he was my first and only love. I stupidly broke up with him because I thought the grass was greener on the other side. I wanted to see what else was out there and date more. I regret it to this day 12 years later.

I'm sorry dreamy, maybe someday you will find someone else that makes you even happier and you will feel silly for thinking the way you do now ;) I wish you luck :)

I'm so sorry for you, but I have to say that that is the exact reason why I refuse to leave my fiance just because people tell me I haven't "experienced" being single enough. I couldn't handle regretting losing him over something so shallow and stupid.

I was 16 and a half when I got into my first (and only) long term relationship. I've been in it for 16 years come the 25th of this month. So as you can see it hasn't ended. :) What about you Sissygrl? How old were you when you had your first long term relationship and how long did it last? :P

i went out with my first love, or real relationship from 15-18, we broke up because we were both stubbern and couldnt get along. I thought when we where going out that we WOULD get married one day. I loved him so much! but we just fought and fought a lot, even though were both loved eachother so much. LOL he says we are too passionate for eachother, i say we're too stubbern. *laughs*

Well do you want me to describe the one im in right now? I condsider that one my first real long term relationship and you already know about that one so I will explain the other one. I met this guy online that was from my home town and we decided to meet up and we started dating and that lasted for about maybe almost a year then he started to come to my work everytime i worked and wanted me to spend every waking moment with him. I was 16 I had other stuff I wanted to do. lol He gave me a golden rose and told me how much he loved me every single hour of the day it felt like. And he asked me to marry him and da da da. Then I broke up with him and he stalked me. He was every where i was. When I moved he new where I was. I got threatening emails from him. Now I think he is over me finally. Havnt heard from him since i got married and that was about 2 or 3 years ago.

Wow, you picked a winner didn't you !! hehe i'm glad you dont have a stalker anymore. That would be kind of scary. I dont like stalkers.. Well, mylot stalkers are ok, but real life stalkers scare me. I've had one before too, but i didn't give him any reason to think i'd ever want a relationship with him, he was a friend for a long time, and the entire time he was thinking he was going to get more.. Ba.. he sucks! heh loosers.

I had a relationship at 15/turning 16 and it lasted for six months, then she decided she wouldn't call or reply to messages and whenever I called to see what was going on in person. (she was never home) funny that. Second one didn't last to long, personally I don't count it. Third, I met my wife. =) ~Joey

Crap, I married my first love. We were 18. Very foolish, by the way! We broke up 7 years later because he cheated on me with a girl from his work. I probably would have loved him forever, but really he did me the best favor of my life by cheating. I think I would have outgrown him (we were kids, after all). And I met a much better man 5 years later and married him, so all is well.

that's good that everything worked out for you. I think when you marry young it is quite possible to grow out of eachother, cause your not really fully matured when you marry that young, and you have a lot to learn still. Some people grow together, but i think a lot grow apart. I waited to get married till i was 26. I am glad i waited. I had my first baby at 26 as well. wait actually i had just turned 27. But i was 7 months preggy when we got married *giggles*

i was 16 years old.. about to turn 17. it's hard to say for how long it lasted. the thing is, it started and sadly, it ended. i think it's my first love. we broke up because we were too young to handle such a serious relationship.

my first long term relationship would have been at birth and it is still going on 42 years later - that would be my relationship with my parents and sibbling/s other than that my husband and I met when I was 19, so that is pretty long term as well.

My longest relationship has been 7 years -- my husband. Married about 2, together 7 total. My second longest was an ex boyfriend. We dated for about 6 months. He ended it because he heard a rumor that while he, his niece and nephew, mother and father were in the Bahamas, I was porking some other guy though his sister saw me every day at their house swimming in their pool in their absence. Plus he was a 35 year old mama's boy who still lived at home. My third longest relationship was with another ex boyfriend that lasted about 2 months. I can't remember why we broke up, but I can remember that I was glad when he was gone!
