Your b/f thinks love is a product which carries an expiry date.You can prevent it by loving each other truly.

Relationships last for as long as you want them to. I started dating my boyfriend when I was 16 and he was 19. We have now been together for 3 years and he is the love of my life. We have been through so much but communication is key. Always talk about your problems together but don't forget to laugh and talk about your day. School is a big part of your life and if he goes to college in a year or two things might change but you should always know that you can count on each other. If you can do that you can survive in your relationship. However, if you relationship isn't meant to be you should break up because it is not worth it to be miserable especially at such a young age. You have so many options. I love my boyfriend and he is now my fiance. I am in college and sometimes it is difficult but I love him and I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything or that I have missed out on anything like many people think. Trust and honesty are key in relationships. I hope this didn't get too off topic but I think that it is hard to tell exactly how long relationships last.

Unfortunately you will find that most relationships in your teens and early twenties will not be lasting ones. Most people, males and females, will be utilizing this time to experiment and find out what they want and don't want in a mate. This behavior usually persists until they finally reach a certain age where they and their partners maturity come into synch and their goals may be mutually shared and nurtured throughout their lives. There are some exceptions to the rule though they are usually the lucky ones.

The reason I would guess that is true is
1 - most people below 20 are not mature enough for a relationship. their lives are not designed for one either
2 - so many relationships are so physical that that's all it becomes, then the girl feels used and the guy wants a new girl.
3 - I suggest 1 - don't date, 2 - do a lot of group dates, keep it light and fun 3 - refrain from a lot of physical contact. definetly no sex, i'd say don't even kiss.
no, i'm not 35 and happily married. I'm your age. I'm choosing not to date until I meet the guy I know God has picked to be my partner. I'm saving myself wholly and completely for him. And the guy I marry will have saved himself completely for me.

not true. it only matters how you feel. i guess 7/8 months is when you start to become more serious.. just realizing how long can you really stay together... im goin on 11 months in 5 days... im 15... and it just depends on how youre both feeling after that certain point. he was probably (im no xpert, cause who knows WHAT guys are thinking??) just pointing out that most people dont find that bond, and it doesnt last that long at our age... so he was pointing out your accomplishment, showing that he cares more than the ordinary couple... but no. its not true.

me and my boyfriend have been dating for nearly a year now about 11 months...we have come a long way and had a lot of problems but we've made it through we love each other completely..there has been and will be lots of problems it's part of life...i think that your boyfrind said that only because he's looking for a cheap way to get out adn that is not the way to do it...honey you need to try to work it out or move on cuz this is not your man..he's afraid of commitment

I just graduated high school. My boyfriend and i have been together since 9th grade. we had our ups and downs, he made me mad often, but i love the hell out of him and him me. We are starting college, with a nice rock on my engagement finger! Its all up to your love and respect for each other, did he say this because hes warning you about him maybe leaving you in the future? or is he scared of you leaving him
