I’m 29 and have a bare 2 months left before I’m not “twenty-something”, so I’ve got to answer this one…

I’ve had essentially 3 long term relationships.

One that started in college and lasted for 5 years.

Another that started shortly after that one ended and lasted for 2 years.

The last started a few months later and just ended last month after 3 years.

You can see, then, that I’m a serial relationship kind of gal.

Incidentally, my last relationship was with a fellow 4 years my senior. He told me (after just a FEW MONTHS) that ours was his longest relationship. That was an interesting moment to digest.
