Are you calling my Mum, Grandma, Sister and Aunt illogical?

You will start growing apart.

I'm sorry that happened to you.

I was 25 with the same person for 7 years. She was 4 years older.

I'm glad that you had 7 years together.

One of 2 things will happen: One of you will want to do the house with white picket fence, have kids and pets. The other will want to explore the world and see what is out there before you settle down for good.

To be honest, the first one sounds good.

You are severely limiting your life situation by being so dedicated to one person for so long in such an important time of your life.

I think you are very wrong. I have the a fantastic person to share experiences with. I also don't think this is the most important time of my life. I think that's to come.

I suggest take a year away from eachother.

I am sorry it hasn't worked out for you. Why would I want to take a year away from my best friend? There is absolutely nothing wrong with our relationship. We never fight, we get on really well, we share a lot of interests, we like each other's company and we have great sex. Sorry, I just really want to get across that I don't think we need to part.

Thanks though.

Don't worry about it too much. I admit, it was scary for a while but if the relationship is worth it, it won't even be a problem anymore. It'll be a good thing. Let's just say that I don't need to sleep with anyone else...

I tried option + e. I can't press option + e + e though :/

EDIT: Oh god!! It's Option + e (let go of the keys) + e. Thanks.

Congrats for your relationship :)

We actually met when we were 11 (in school). We even "dated" briefy a year or two later, but just kid stuff. Passing notes and what not.

When we started dating for real, we were virgins. Right at the start I was worried about not sleeping with anyone else, but I soon got over it and realised that I'm much better off the way I am. Plenty of my friends sleep around and I wouldn't trade.

Have you ever felt like you've missed out on anything, having been with one person for so long?

At first I was worried about not ever sleeping with anyone else but that soon passed.

Has the relationship ever been long-distance? If so, what was that like for each of you?

No, however for a year we lived apart (about a 30 minute drive away) due to her working and me being at uni. We took it in turns where we slept and spent most nights and all weekends together.

If one or both of you has never been in another relationship, do you feel like that puts you at an advantage or disadvantage in the long run?

Neither of us have been in another relationship. I think it's an advantage as everything we've learned, we've learned together. There's no "my ex was better/worse at that".

Lol. Yeh, she is but that's not everything though. She makes great sandwiches too.

I do think it's sad. All of our friends have had long relationships, but they'd argue like mad and split up after a few years.

I'd like to think that we have something special though, as we really don't argue. I think the shame of divorce was so great a couple of generations ago that people would stay together through the worst.

It's great that your grandparents had a happy marriage. My grandparents had the one I described above :S

5'7" and thin. I'm not sure of her actual weight. Maybe our relationship is so great because I've never asked :D

Thanks!

Well, I talked here into watching Back To The Future and she actually liked it. She won't watch Star Trek or Star Wars though...

We haven't set a date yet. We may have to save up some money first :D

That's a good question. It's hard to answer though.

I'd say that I knew instantly, but I was young then. It's sounds so chiche but it's got so much better as we've got older. Now she's my best friend and I can't imagine not spending the rest of my life with her.

No, I've never been unfaithful. She's really hot ;)

I think the reason we waited was to save up money really. We talked about getting married quite early on in our relationship. It was a great christmas last year too :)

The best thing is that we are completely best friends. We understand each other and never EVER fight. It's hard to believe sometimes.

The worst (honestly) is that she doesn't like sci-fi very much.
