Have you ever considered getting steady with someone yet you cannot imagine yourself being with him for the rest of your life? Or you have doubts in your head that your relationship will not last for a lifetime? Or maybe.., while you are with him.., you are wishing to be with someone else.. But whatever it could be.., Are you with the person you wanted to spend your lifetime with? Why do you think so? =)

I was then in a stage when I thought he is the one. I am referring with my e fiancee. I thought he was the one since marriage is the next thing in our plan. He is working abroad and we plan to get marry when he comes back home supposed to be this October. However, I met someone and I do not know if it was destiny or how you can call it. Yes, my ex-diancee and I broke up and am with the new guy now.
On the other hand, I am hoping my present guy is the one. I wish he is the one, if not, I wish my ex-fiancee would still accept me.

I thought of it too. I know I would be causing too much pain to my ex fiancee. You are right, we have so many dreams and plans for the future and I screwed up and ruined everything. The moment I made a decision, I don't want to blame anyone whether my ex-fiancee took me for granted or not or my new guy took advantage of my weakness. Besides that, I have thought that it is hard to start anew because more than 5 years of relationship with my ex-fiancee is not an easy thing to maintain too. However, I took the risk because I do not want to be unfair to my ex-fiancee cheating on him. Thus, I do not want to regret not listening to my heart's desire. If in case, my present one will break my heart, I think I need to bear and face it because at one point of my life, I followed my heart. If my ex-fiancee won't accept me for that second chance, I will understand because I know I have hurt him much and broke his heart and dreams for us.
I just wish my present one will be the last because I can no longer bear to be hurt again and perhaps will never love again.

Ouch.., don't get me wrong but i pity your ex fiance.., I don't want to sound judgmental to you but i'm on your ex fiance's side.., it must have been hard for him to know that he's going back to no one's arms this october.., It must be heartbreaking for him if he have love you that much.. But well.., I understand you too., you cannot marry someone if you're in love with someone else.. so you followed your heart.. I just hope that your new boyfriend is the one for you.., coz I don't want you to be hurt if your ex fiance will no longer accept you.., =)

I understand you.., and though you will look unfair to other people who have known about what happened.., Both yours and your ex's friends who have witnessed how your relationship traveled the path of life together for the past five years.., You made the right choice.., you followed your heart and though you've broken such a dear heart.., your happiness is at stake.., let's just pray that you will not have to face any negative consequences of the decision you made..=) Best of Luck my friend..=)

I am with someone right now for almost 3years. The things I have in mind is my dreams, that's why I really have some doubts how long my boyfriend could wait me. I doesn't even think that its HIM I will spend my life with. But I know, GOD will take the rest. We really don't know what will happen tomorrow....let's just embrace the opportunity that we still have them....have a nice day!!

Whenever you make a decision on which to prioritize first.., your dreams or your love life.., Just make sure that the decision you made will make you happy and make sure that you will not regret after...

Yes, I do. (Sounds like a wedding vow....hahaha!) My boyfriend and I have talked about getting married. We're at that age already and we both want to spend the rest of our lives with each other. So if all goes well maybe in 2 years. Ha! He's really someone I can talk with, who likes to take care of me, he can be a bit childish but that's tolerable (LOL!) and he really loves me. I really love him, too. (Awwwww, shux! Cheezy!)

When I was 18 years old I would have said no, to be with one partner for 10 years or more is to long & not possible. But now, at 39 & since I've been with my first love for more than 22 years I can't thinks of replacing him. I think of him throughout my day & miss him when he's not there. We have our problems, he's not perfect as I know I'm not too. Accept his imperfections, & when life is tough we bare it together. When I'm sick or when I needed someone to take care of me because I was involved in a car accident he was by my side taking care of me, our kids, work & the home responsibilities without any complaints. When I needed a shoulder to cry on he was there to hug me even when the reason I was crying was because of him. He'll call from work to check up on me & the kids to see if were all right. I can't see myself with any other man, this is the only man for me, plus he's never hit me or raise his hand when he's angry. Sometimes we say things out of anger, but we always come back to each other & say we can't live without the other. Love him with all my heart & soul, even all the riches won't make me happy & complete if he's not in my life. He is my rock....

I am fairly sure that the man I am with at the moment is the right person for me. He makes me laugh, smile, and feel safe, and I know that he will always be there for me if I need him to be.
In return, I will always be there for him, and I like to think that I would be able to keep him safe if he needed me to.

i haven't meet that person yet but usually when people go steady they like to believe that that person they go steady with is the one they'll end up with. when you truly love someone you don't have any doubts about the relationship or wish that someone better comes along.

yes.. soo true.., but there are circumstances that we cannot prevent at times.., no matter how long have you gone steady.., trials take place that will shaken the foundations of a strong relationship.., and some cannot survive it..,=(

Hello deve_annrn,
Interesting discussion. I have always said that i wanted to have a life long partnership with my girlfriend and i hope everything goes fine. I am not perfect and no one is. Today is not my good day, i guess i need more time for things to settle between us. I have been in relationship with my girlfriend for more than an year now and honestly we need more time for us to know each other. At least i need. Have a nice day, bye.

Hi voldrox.., I know relationships can get so rough sometimes.., but it is normal.., and you've been together for just a year.., there are still so much for the two of you to discover about each other.., try to be understanding..,=)

Before I married my husband I had a very serious relationship for 5 years but even in that 5 years I never imagine myself spending the rest of my life with him. I never really thought of wearing his wedding ring.
Then came my husband, and without so much ado. I knew from the start the he was the one I was looking for. I don't know the reasons why but I just felt it. I even fought for the love we have for each other. There was nothing that could come between me and my love for my husband until.... (that would be another topic).:)
One word of unsolicited advise,there's no guarantee that a relationship could last a lifetime. It may or it may never will... Not even a piece of paper can give assurance...

I see.., so the duration of a certain relationship is not an enough assurance for us to conclude that a certain relationship is going to last a lifetime..,i've seen that happen too.., and it is so true that whenever that person you would want to spend your entire life with., you will feel it.., and i felt it too.., there' no other man i would want to grow old with but my boyfriend...

well.., i think it's normal and healthy for a married couple to encounter bumpy rides once in awhile.., as long as love remains and you help each other to make it work.., it will not be a problem.., Best of luck to your roller coaster ride.., someday i'll get a ride too..=)

that is an ouch!!! being used by a guy to get over someone else and would even lie to you just for him to succeed in his intention.., That is an insult.., and if you really love him.. it will be heartbreaking in your part to know his lying.., but if he's really determined to forget this girl and you love him enough to swallow your pride and forget he's using you.., show him what you've got and make him fall for you real hard..=)

There are things that I don't like with my partner right now, like his attitude towards this and that. Because of that, we always argue. There are things that I'm expecting him to do, yet he can't do, and vice versa. We have a lot of differences. But he's definitely the one that I want to spend my lifetime with. Despite all the arguments, misunderstandings, and differences.. at the end of the day, it all boils down to acceptance, understanding, and our love for each other.

wow.., and that is what true love is all about.., in the reality aspect.., Love is not a fairy tale at all., so let's face it.., Love may conquer all if you like it that way.., but love is not perfect.., it has it's ups and downs too.., so if we really love our partners.., and we're sure there's nobody else that we want to grow old with.., understanding them is the best approach..=)

I married my classmate after five years and we are happily married no for 5 years so it's ten years now. The point is the trust u have in you partner and viceversa. I wouldsuggest even if one has a slightes of doubt about the relation one talk it out or just finish it otherwise have to repent for the whole life...

exactly.., trust plays a very vital role in keeping the bond of a relationship tight and unbreakable.., so whenever i have doubts with my boyfriend.. i am very vocal about it..=)

Sad to say but the person I am with right now is not the man whom I am willing to spend forever with. We have been together for almost 3 years. We have been through a lot of things. Through the years, I have seen a lot of his attitudes, good ones and bad ones. Some of his bad attitudes are attitudes that I cannot accept. I believe that when marrying, you should marry a person you love and a person you are willing to accept, the good and the bad parts of him. I cannot accept my boyfriend's bad side. And I cannot imagine myself living the rest of my life with someone like him.

I am sorry to hear that you have put three years investing your life with someone whom in the end you wouldn't want to grow old with., whatever your reasons.., i dare not ask.. but i hope that you'll find the right man for you my friend..someone you can accept for who he is.., both bad and good sides.., and I'm wondering why you are still sticking with someone whom you cannot accept totally.., instead of searching for the right one..?=)

Me and my boyfriend had talked many times already about tying the knot, but I am always the one saying no. It's not that im not sure if he is the 'one' but its just that we are not yet financially ready for now. For me i consider him already my first and only man and that he is the guy i am dreaming of being with for the rest of my life. We are in our relationship that is going through a very rough storm now and im not 100% sure if we can ever be fulfilling our plans in the near future but somehow we are holding on to our promises.

well.., we are in the same boat my friend., The only thing that has been keeping me and my boyfriend from settling down is the lack of financial stability.., and it would take a lot of time for us to acquire that level.., so you will not be hearing any wedding bells in the near future.., but the important thing is.., we stick together.., love each other and work hand in hand in order for us to reach our dreams..=) best of luck to you..=)

That's a really difficult question. Even i am not sure if the girl i am with right now is the girl for me. I have been hanging out with a girl for just a couple of months and i am not sure if she is the one yet. I had recently broken up with my ex who was with me for a couple of years so it's kinda hard to guess that for now.

oh.., I really feel disappointed when years of relationship gets broken.., but i know everything has its reasons and probably you were just not meant to be.., so with your present and recent relationship..., there's not way of telling yet if she's the one.., eventually as your relationship matures.., you can decide..=) good luck..
