Me?? I have a good relationship with my boyfriend.. We've been together for 3 years and 6months.. I love him and he loves me.. Actually, for these years we never quarrel like we always saw in the movies. We just quarrel maybe for 5 minutes and then it's gone already.. The most longest fight that we had encountered is about 1 day... Actually, we quarrel for simple things or simple reasons... I am wondering, is it good that we never have a big fight or is it wrong?? Because most of my friends, they have always fight from their boyfriend/ girlfriend.. They were crying but me?? I only cry when I got hurt but not because of our fight but because of some reasons... It is weird actually that we never have fight... Maybe because when we notice that we are already quarreling, we stop talking to each other so that we will not say any words that can hurt the feelings of each other... So, how about you??

Hi kissie34! I've been married for 13 years and I've known my husband for 14 years. We met on a flight an dour courtship happened across different cities, with us meeting every time in a different city over one year as both of us were touring a lot due to work. I would say that marriage is a wonderful thing to happen but you have to be ready for many, many compromises! Our main fights used to centre around my husband's family, as his mother had given me a lot of grief as she was against the marriage. Things were quite unpleasant often and my child has been witness to many bad fights. But finally, I've made peace with my in-laws through my sincere prayers for things to work out. The basic thing that kept the marriage going was the fact that we love each other a lot and we function with the same code of ethics and values. There is nothing that can't be sorted out, believe me, but you have to be patient and ready to make the relationship work. Also, ask your ego to go take a walk. And, never, never stop communicating, even after a fight.

Hi... Thanks for the advice... Actually, you have the same situation with my mother... The family of my father don't like my mother because of some reasons... They don't treat my mother good, they always hurt my mother... My father cannot do anything even she really love my mother... They we're married for 30 years... And until now, the family of my father still don't like my mother... Maybe,it will be like that forever... Even though we were together for 3 years and a half, me and my boyfriend don't think about getting married yet... Because we want to make sure that everything is in order... We still working for our future... Maybe, after 5 years if everything is perfect, no problems and if we are already ready, that is the time we engage ourselves into marriage life... But for now, we are still young to get married.. We are just 20 years old and we still don't discover what life really is...

I just checked your age. You are only 20, my girl. Long way to go and there's no need to get into a committed relationship in a hurry. I can understand your mother's situation as even though her husband loves her, he's not strong enough to stand up for her. Men, on the whole are pretty weak and in a country like mean, in-laws play a very important role in a marriage. I've seen men just helplessly stand by and watch their wives getting abused by their families, even though they love their wives. What they don't understand is that it is they who can change the situation by having a balanced approach. My husband has stood by me on a number of occasions but his mother's ill-behavior towards me continued. She just couldn't be bothered about how her son felt, I suppose and was too obsessed in her hatred towards me. Also, she's very dominating and everyone in the family, including her husband are just too scared to oppose her. All this while I had tried my level best and even bent backwards to please them and make them happy but nothing seemed to work. It's only now, when they visited me last month that I decided I'm not going to go out of my way to do anything for them. Besides, I had a very busy work schedule to cope with. But I never stopped praying for compassion. and, it worked. I have seen a very positive change in my ma-in-law's attitude towards me. As for your mom, it's been for too long and I feel she just shouldn't bother about what they say and continue being cordial and polite. It's those who abuse who are smaller not the victims of abuse. Tell her not to worry and not let it affect her. Take care and give my love to your mother.

Three years huh? That's quite a while. But that's nice you two have been together that long. Well I believe that it's healthy for the two to fight if it has a point to it. I mean if you're fighting because you're jealous of something he did with another girl or something, that's useless. But yeah. A relationship is worst than a fulltime job :-P

Yes, I agree with that... Some of my friends told me that it is quite weird if we don't fight.. Accordingly to them,it makes the relationship grow when both couple sometimes fighting... This will test their relationship on how they love and trust each other..

I don't know if I would call my husband and I's relationship a love story. We're hardly in love anymore. I'm not sure if we ever really were. Sometimes it makes me sad, but sometimes, I just accept it because it dosen't seem like it will ever change.

that's great love story.it'S hard for lovers staying together but not quarrel. cherish him and your love. i and my BF met about seven years ago when we were freshman in University, the at the begining at the first semester. we have being together for the whole 4years school life and 3years social life.he is so charming,romantic,aspirant,considerate,patient.....i love him even though i have never told him i love you face to face. but deeply in my heart, i love him. i wanna say thanks to him, for giving me surprise time by time,for working hard for our future, for caring me these years....if my time is possible, i would like to tell you my detailed story. now, we are working in different city, but every day we call each other several times.sometimes, distance between lovers is much better to enhance the connection of them...

I don't think so...Maybe, you had experience it but you just didn't notice it... Of course, you have a crush right??

That is a good relationship. I heard people say that quarrel makes relationship interesting but I am not convinced with that. I think that it is wrong to quarrel but there are some things and situation were you can't avoid it. You were lucky to have a partner like yours. HE seems so understanding. I also believe that quarreling will be a rust that will soon be the cause of breakups so you got to celebrate cause you don't have any of it. People or partners quarrel because they did not understand or compromise to one another so don't you think its your luck!

My story is quite interesting as well: I had met my boyfriend through my ex husband. He was in the same cell with my ex and had started writing to me. At first it was to tell me that my ex was going to start trouble for me when he got out (that was true) and then we started to write to each other. After weeks of writing, we were talking on the phone and seeing each other on a daily basis. It has been 3 months now and it seems like we were meant for each other. It has been wonderful.

Aww:) I've been with my bf for 3years and 3months:) You're 3months ahead:P Hihi, well, it's not that weird if you never have a big fight or what. You should be thankful that until now you both could managed to control your anger and be cool about it^^ Me and my boyfriend, sometimes we fought for something stupid^^ But mostly, because of jealousy:) And if i get hurt or feel very angry, i wont bother myself to talk to him. But he would still begging me and say sorry altho sometimes it wasn't his mistake at all. Well, people said, if man really love that woman, he'll let his ego down. And i found it true:) Well yeah, i can't wait to have future with him

I have a very good friend who is a girl (a galfriend??). We do act like boyfriend and girlfriend when there is no one else around, but we do not hold hands on street or do anything showing we are couple in public. I do not know what is this kind of relationship, could it be what said "this is complicated" on friendster or facebook.
