Good question! My first girlfriend I was with for 6 months and second a year. I have now been with my current and fingers crossed life partner for 3 1\2 years and we are still very happy. We are about to move into a flat together and have other plans too. I really hope you find someone who you can spend your life with and be happy it always happens when your not looking. I find it helps to compromise together to make each other laugh (she is funny and she laughs at me because I do silly things but she is never patronising and loves me for it) We enjoy shopping together we both have our own personal interests and allow each other space to enjoy them. I hope this helps and keep heart sweetheart it WILL happen.

I know many women who are in very long term relationships. A relationship no matter if same sex or opposite sex can be fulfilling if the couple work at keeping love, laughter, open communication, trust, honesty, and passion a key factor of their relationship. My partner and I have been together for 4 years and we are very content. Don't get me wrong we have bad days but work things out by talking and of course compromising. A relationship is hard work, if it were easy , so many people would be in relationships or still married.

A relationship between 2 women can last just as long as a relationship of different sexes. What does the world believe relationships are based on? Personally I base mine on love, trust and respect! And that doesnt come with only a hetrosexual relationship!
If straight people pulled there head out of the gutter for a second, and thought about the love between 2 people instead of thinking about what they do in the bedroom.. homosexuality wouldnt be a big issue!

I know many women who have been together for many years and are still content - I have been with my partner for awhile and I think that things are better now than they were when we first started dating. I think that there are many points of view, but my personal view is that when you are faced with so much adversity and hatred by people surrounding you, you have a choice to cherish that you have found love and focus on the positive, or get caught up in the nay-sayers and focus on the hard stuff. All relationships are difficult, regardless of whether they are man/woman, woman/woman or man/man. I think that when you are true to who you are and find a person that you want to spend forever with, contentment comes a little easier too.
I also think it is sad that people with so much hatred have to come into this group and leave their messages - if you hate gay people so much, stop coming into this discussion group.

I'm 24 this year and I've been with my partner for 4 years now. i\d think that most people my age cant even decide what coloured shirts to wear every morning , we young adults are fickle and still immature in a way. and in such a volatile state of my life, i managed to find someone and stick to her for so long, so YES i think a lesbian relationship is capable of lasting a long time!
till now, i still discover something new about her to love everyday.... i know most gay bashers think that we are incapable of doing normal things (IE: being in a committed relationship and remain devoted) but let me tell you, WE CAN! i know friends that have been together for 15 years and still going strong.
but I'm not going to lie, a gay or lesbian relationship is just like a normal heterosexual relationship so I'm sure there are couples out that that are discontent......
regards. and hope this helps in whatever that you are searching for.

Yes a relationship between two women can last long term. I have been with my wife (partner) for seven years this October. Yes we have had our hardtimes and many goodtimes. But when it comes down to it we are still each others soulmates. As we reaching our anniversery I am loving her more and more every day. We are still growing together everyday.

Yes, I believe it could last long term. I also know a couple who have been together for 20+ years and are still deeply in love and happy. If the relationship is based on love and trust, and not just lust and desire, then it should easily last. If it is the person who you are in love with, then you won't easily lose that love. However if you are jus "in lust" with the body then when/if the body changes then the lust may fade.

absolutely, but both individuals have to work at it just like in a m/f relationship or a m/m relationship. Nothing good comes easy. I have been with my gf for 5 1/2 years. Both of us have been faithful and committed. We have our share of problems like any relationship, but we work at them and work them out. I love her more today than I did 5 years ago. I'm not just content I am ecstatic.

It's the same as with a straight or gay relationship. You gotta put effort into it to make it work. I personally don't know any long term couples anymore. I used to know two couples when I lived in the U.S., and sure they had the usual fights and all, but they were happy. Like I said, both parties have to put effort into it.

Yes. The requirements are the same, or tougher than heterosexual marriages. The key is to establish stability in your lives. I ,a heterosexual 70 year old male, do know a very happy couple, with a home, two careers and mix well in the community. The issues are the same: trust and fidelity,
