    Haha, similiarly, 1 month, Sophomore yr of hs when DH and I broke up for 2.5 mo.

  • I dated the same guy from the summer after high school until after college, about 7.5 years. Other than him, I dated one guy 5-6 months and everyone else was 1-2 months max.

    There were two other guys that I "dated"- one for 2 years and one for 1 year, but they never wanted to be exclusive, so I eventually moved on. I was seeing the one year guy when I met DH. I was exclusive to him for about 9 months and then told him if he didn't want to be mutually exclusive, I was going to start dating others. My goal was to be exclusive with someone and if I found someone with potential, we were over. He was willing to take that chance. I met DH a couple months later. The day after our first kiss, I called one year and he came over and I broke it off. He sent me a letter a couple weeks later about how great I am, blah blah blah. Too little too late. DH sure had potential!

  • One year; then I was tired of long distance (he was in New Hampshire and I was in San Diego) and knew neither of us was going to move.

    Long story short, he never grew up.  After all those years I was ready to settle down and start seriously moving forward, I wanted progression.  He didn't.  He was happy with keeping things the way they were.  I didn't want to be that chick that has 4 kids but never made it down the aisle so I left.  I had no idea then that I was never coming back.

  • My college bf was about 2 years.  He married ONE of the girls he cheated on me with.

    In better news, C and I will be celebrating our 3 year "date" anniversary next month! :)

    Wow Kearstin, that would have taken some balls to realize that and get out of the relationship! Good for you!!

    Thanks.  He's ruffled my feathers a few times since then, but I learned that he can only ruffle em if I let him.

    Ashley,

    He may deserve a d-bag award...what a jerk

    Broke up with internet boy....who was going to be my sr prom date....asked 6 other boys till i asked Chris....he said NO because he "hated my classmates". Ended up taking my newly gay friend....who was a freshman in college and who b!tched the whole night.....you had BETTER believe that i went to his house and showed off my CUSTOM black satin corseted ballgown after prom before going to the party.....a$$....this was right when he dated my (at the time) bff who knew i still <3ed him....she lasted as a friend for a few more years....i finally threw her to the curb over two years ago...another long story)

     EPIC dbag....*sigh*

  • I dated my exbf before DH for 4 years. I thought that we would for sure get married, we were on again/off again, but it always seemed like when we were on-again that things were going to work out. Then one night I went out, had a little too much to drink, came home, tried to have a serious conversation, which apparently pissed him off because.....I woke up the next morning, totally hungover, and all of my stuff (which was a whole house of stuff) was packed on a trailer and ready for me to leave with it. Sweet huh? Then I found out that that afternoon he was with one of my best friends, needless to say, when I found out I went slightly "crazy b!itch" on both of them. 

    He tried to get me to come back like every week after the wedding, now he is in a horrible relationship with a crazy b!itch that is drunk all the time and barely takes care of her kid. Karma sucks :)

  • Longest before DH, was about 3 months in HS. I didn't date seriously in college. I was too busy and my school was lacking in straight guys.

    Anniversary
  • In total probably 3 years, but there were multiple breakups & makeups in a longer time span than 3 years.  I think he still wishes I married him, sorry buddy, I decided to marry someone who makes me happy!

  • Off and on for 2 years, and I found out after I'd dumped him (for Zach) that he'd put an e-ring on hold at the jewelry store I worked in at the time. Oops.
  • That would be 1 year, 1 month, 1 week, and 3 days. It was supposed to be 1 day but he was sick and didn't make it to school the day I was going to break it off. It was such a big joke though it wasn't a real realationship- just something to get the kids at school to stop talking about both of us.

    My first love and I were in an on and off (alot) relationship for almost 3 years. (actually longer then DH and I have been together!! But I knew I was going to marry DH the first day I met him)
