List all ended romantic relationships you have had and their time-length.

In My Humble Opinion
1

Time elapsed starts from first date. Only count those that you tried to pursue an exclusive romantic relationship with, not mere flings, FWB’s, or hookups. However, if you “upgraded” from friends, FWB, fling, or hookup, to an exclusive romantic relationship, count the time elapsed from the day you two upgraded and started seriously dating (not from the beginning of when you knew each other).

Again, this is for past relationships that have already ended in your life. Do not mention your current relationship. Mention relationships that you were serious about at least at one point and in which you exclusively dated for some amount of time, and note the elapsed time between first date and breakup.

If it was a breakup/makeup/breakup situation, note the time elapsed between first date and the LAST breakup.

Also, mention your age.

Well, I’ve not yet had one. (Hey, Barney Frank was 65 when he found his mate, so I haven’t given up hope). I’m 58, so closing in on that.

3

A couple that lasted 3 weeks, a few that lasted 3 months (3 or 4). 2 that lasted about 9-12 months (I still really miss those girls and wonder what it could have been!). One that lasted 6 months (don’t miss her at all!). One that lasted ~7 years. Don’t miss her either, though I still feel sad about the whole thing. I am 45.

Four serious, but now ended, relationships in my life:

  1. 18 months (as per the OP’s notes, this includes a three-month hiatus in the middle)
  2. 24 months (includes a 7-month breakup after dating exclusively for one month; we then dated for another 16 months once we got back together)
  3. 5 months
  4. 6 months

I’m still very close friends with #2 and #4.

I’m 50.

5

A couple hundred.

Ooops - assuming ones where she thought they were exclusive and I didn’t think quite the same, make that two. One of three months and one of roughly 8 months. My current (I know it doesn’t count) will be at 39 years next month.

As for age, get off my lawn and shut up already you little rugrat. :wink:

So this is asperger day on SDMB?

1st marriage lasted 5 years. This was about 4 and 1/2 years longer than I wanted it to last. I stayed out of guilt.

2nd one lasted about 3 years. He was killed 6 months after we married.

3rd one is ongoing for 30 years now. Not much passion left, sadly. It was mostly good for about 24 years though. Now we’re just friends who are married.

I’m 59 and don’t expect to have another one.

12

Wow, R3d, you’re pretty demanding for someone who can’t be bothered to offer up his own stats.
mmm

13

2005-2008 / ~4 years

2010-2012 / ~2 years (marriage – divorce)

July 2014 - February 2015 / 7 months, and 2 weeks

Last month - Present, but I think we’re broken up and not even sure if I could count this one. I am counting it anyways.

26 y.o.

14

Two thoughts occur:

  1. Why?

  2. I’m not certain anything counted in weeks or months should be classified as a relationship.

15

Age 42 now.

First GF (age 21 at start of relationship): 2.5 years
<short rebound period>
First marriage (age 24 at start of relationship): 7 years
<long wilderness period, accruing notches in belt>
Second marriage (age 35 at start of relationship): 7 years and counting

16

Um…what day isn’t? This is the oldest, fattest, and most Aspergian forum on the internet, short of actual support groups for those populations.

And I say that as someone who posted to the thread. :slight_smile:

17

26 total years. I’m 45. That’s much less pathetic than I thought.

ETA: I don’t have relationships of the week – just happens that way.

18

Also, it’s a little creepy to be asked these stuff by someone who is underage. (I think he’s fifteen years old.)

19

First one, about a year (then she decided to move to NY). We stayed friends especially after I moved to NY, but there was no more passion there.

Second one, about half a year. She broke up with me.

Third one, nearly 52 years and counting and it is still good.

I’m 78.

20

I also ask why.

I’ve had multiple long-term relationships over the years, but I never kept track of exact dates they started or ended. Many humans are inexact this way, you’ll find.
