Who here has been in a successful long-term relationship? I want to be happy with a meaningful, deep relationship with a true partner. Trust, reliability, all of that. How the heck do you make that work?? I tend to get bored with one sex partner after about 6 - 10 months, no matter how mind-blowing the sex. How do you get over that? I always end up fantasising about other women, looking at porn, etc.     | ||

WODIN - I'm not sure what some define as "long-term", but I was in a relationship w/ a guy for almost six months. We did everything together. We were always busy and doing things - going places. He asked me to marry him after six months and I knew he was the one. We have trust, reliability, and yes, sometimes have the disagreements but we ALWAYS make up!!! "Trust and reliability" are two key ingredients. Also, comes love, respect, etc. etc. There's so many. We NEVER get bored w/ the sex. It's ALWAYS WONDERFUL. Regarding the porn thing - well, we even watch it together, sometimes. I think that's fun and makes us seem even closer at times. Hope this helps.  ------------------ | ||

I have been married for 13 years and all I can tell you for certain is make damn sure you both are really good friends, have total respect for each other as human beings irregardless of any of the bullshit in the world, always remember that you are there for each other and not there to be against each other. Yeah sex can get old no matter what you do and trust me we've tried some crazy stuff just to spice things up. Pizza and his wife do the swing thing, I don't. I don't condemn his actions they are just not my path in this lifetime. Getting over this is probably one of the minor issues really in a long-term relationship. ------------------ | ||

WODIN - how could I forget that one. That's prob. just as important as being in love. Yes, we "are really good friends, have total respect for each other as human beings" I think that's an absolute MUST if one works a relationship to work. ------------------ | ||

Respecting and trusting eachother as human beings is the only reason my hubby and I are still together right now. We've been together for 7 yrs and are going through an extremely tough time right now because I'm not ready for kids. I don't know if we will make it in the end but we are working on it because its clear that we do have a lot of love for eachother. I call that success - we aren't just saying screw it and giving up. I think any long term relationship faces periodic challenges - and once you are through them it makes the relationship stronger. ------------------ | ||

Dated a girl for 3 years, the next for 2, one after that for 1 and now this girl and I are at 8 months. Notice a trend? I think my tolerance for bullshit is dwindling. The latest is probably the one because for once she is not my "girlfriend", she is my buddy. She and I hang out just like any other friend. Remember... "no matter how hot she is, there is some guy out there who is sick of her shit" | ||

I think it is very important to find out what each other wants out of life before you get married. Sex, Money, Kids, where you want to live & goals so you both know which direction you are going to head. Don't just think things will work out, you must have a plan, that you both can agree on. |
