Long Relationships

United States

I've been in a relationship with my boyfriend for 7, years. We've said some very hurtful things in the past to each other in the heat of an argument. The trust and respect is not there like it use to be. Is there any way to restore this. We still love each other, but this is not a honeymoon relationship. 7 years is very serious, no kissing and making up.

You two should really be talking about it... i guess you are going throught 7 year itch, they say.. where such a long relationship is being put to a test on how long you both can actually survive past it. i believe all relationships have its own ups and downs, your may be on its down side right now, but you do love each other still and you may use that love to make it work.

i think the trust should be in tact to keep it going. otherwise you can never keep it.also try a long talk. talk your heart out. may be the problem is solved there only.

7 years is too long to spend with someone you wouldnt want to spend the rest of your life with and too short to spend with someone that you cant live without. now decide what you want in your relationship. remember all those times that you thought you'll die if you lose him, or those moments that really made you very very happy because he is with you. the key here is to talk about things, about your relationships and how you want it to be. fix what must be fix before its too late. i believe that if you really love him, you'll know what to do in order to keep him. goodluck ;)
