How many "serious" relationships...?

Question

How many serious relationships have you had, how long did they last, and if you got married, how many serious relationships did you have before marriage? Did you ever have doubts about a breakup with an ex over the years. A ton of questions here... just wondering how this love stuff works.

My answer is... I had 3 major relationships including the guy I married when I was 19.

#2 I started dating at 14 1/2, we went out for 6 months and was madly in love with him.

#2,, I dated at 16 1/2 years old, we went out for about 3-4 months... He cheated on me with A LOT of girls. I never "felt close to him". Everytime we were together it was him wanting something from me.

Third guy I dated... I met at 17 1/2... we dated for 2 years before we got married. He's faithful and loves me, but he's also very controlling and insecure. We have been married for 13 years.

I had about 10 other very short lived relationships between 1&2, which were guys who broke up with me after one night stands

Answer 1

My first serious relationship started when I was 15 (he was the same age) and it lasted for 3 years.
We finally broke up because there was ultimately no communication between us.

My second serious relationship started when I was 18 (just after my first one had ended - he was 4 years older) and it lasted for a year and a half. We had made huge plans when he was done with his schooling and was going to move in with me, but he decided for some reason to tell me one day "If you ever meet a great guy, don't be afraid to go after him, don't wait for me" (which we all know what that means).

And here I am at 20 - single.

Answer 2

I've had 3.

#1- I was 13 he was 15 we got together during the summer and when school started back he moved on with someone else.

#2- I have been dating on and off since I was 13, I'm almost 20 now and he will be 20 tommorrow actually, so we've been off and on for 8 yrs basically and well it's off for good now, considering he just informed me that he is gay...yeah the story of my life.

#3- We dated my senior year for about 8 months during one of my breakups with guy 2, and he broked up with me by telling me that God had told him that he was suppose to marry a blonde, and I was a brunette.

So yeah I have had my share of jerks and players....and I have had a lot of other small minor relationships...but those three were the ones that stood out.

Answer 3

I have had 2 other serious relationships before my currant.
My first serious bf was when i was 14 we dated for 2 years.
My second serious bf i dated for 7 months.
My currant is also my husband. We've been together for 12 1/2 years. I had doubts about those breakups years ago but not since I've met my husband. I have wondered from time to time how my live would have turned out if i had stayed with one of the others. But never any doubts.

Answer 4

I prefer to use the term, understanding with god. If you don't believe then you don't understand, Which is ok by me that's your right. But I will tell you my opinion God is so very powerfull that we as human beings canot begin to understand Gods.....,well power. God is a entity that has been forever. That being said some people might use the term"personal relationship" which Im sure God is more than capable of doing. Does it make me feel special? Not really, Im no better than anyone else. As for your example "personal relationship with a street prostitute but I pay full price". I myself at one time was a nonbeliever,Jesus payed full price for my sins. I wont go into details into what changed my life. Except to say that things were, and still are happening that aren't just dumb luck. Now Id like to make a observation about your question. Evidently this bothers you or you wouldn't be asking the question. Maby your mocking a little to make your self feel better,probably because you have doubts about what you believe. Your question doesn't bother me because I have no doubt in what I believe. I hope and pray that God will change your life the way mine has been changed. As a former nonbeliever I do have a understanding with God. A.K.A ,,,RELATIONSHIP!!!!

Answer 5

I didn't start dating until I was 18. Had fewer than half a dozen casual boyfriends ( all of which I dated less than one month)
when I meet a guy to whom I became engaged. We dated 6 mo and were due to marry in 3 mo more when he confessed that he was gay and broke off the engagement. I was devastated. Then I met another guy, dated him 5 mo, and married him. Big mistake. He ran around on me and drank up our grocery money. I had my daughter 9 mo after we were married, but after 3 yrs couldn't take it anymore, so left him and got divorce. About 2 years later I met the man I am married to now. We dated about 15 mo. before we married. And we are still married after 33 yrs. He has been a good husband,faithful, kind. He is kind of messy around the house, and can be bossy, but we rarely really fight about anything. As far as I'm concerned, we'll probably stay married for good. but life is uncertain. I guess I'm hoping this is my last love.

Answer 6

i had my first real bf when i was 16, he was 19 but it only lasted like 4 months. we didnt' really see each other too much. i had anohter bf when i was 17-1/2 we dated for 6 months. then when i was 19 i dated anohter guy for a year this was my first real serious relationship, and he cheated on me with his ex. it was a very bad breakup, i was in tears for a while. but not too long after i met my current bf which we have been dating for 5 years now. he's been so good to me and treats me like a queen. we've talked about marrige and chlldren, but i have some doubts. i dont know if he's the one. i think i'm still young. i'm 24 he's 28. but i guess i'm not TOO young, you got married when you were 19. well theres my life story.

Answer 7

I dated a few guys in high school but the first 'serious' one was in my first year of college, that lasted a year.

#2 was a few years later at 21, that lasted a little over a year, I ended up having his son but the relationship was crap.

#3 met at 23, lasted 4 years but he was not ready to 'settle down'.

#4 I believe will be 'the one' even though it's kinda crazy, we've only been seeing each other less than a month but we have so much in common and it just feels completely right. We are 2 of those people that everyone can look at and just say yeah, you two are obviously perfect for each other. :)

Answer 8

Only really serious relationships were 2 of them. The first one was almost 2 years and I ended up with my daughter who is now 7y/o. We were young...
The other was basically a year & 1/2 and then continued for a total of 4 years on/off...
Both almost married... but something for one reason or another held me back... just not right no matter how much I loved I guess.

Answer 9

3 serious relationships. First turned into marriage at a young age (20), seperated 8 years later. Second found out she was a closet drug user and third which I'm currently in and not going so steady. She had been in abusive relationships previously and now feels the need to be in control 'all the time'.
