I dont mean 4 feet or anything...
How long do you have to be with your partner before you can consider your relationship "long"? Generally I mean about relationship in the 15-25 age bracket.
Personally I'm with my girlfriend for a little less than 2 years now and I wouldn't call our relationship long.

Again, no hotdog or other lenght jokes pwuease.

I dont really think u can differ it that easily. What is a long relationship? No idea. I am with my girls for 6 years now. So that is long, aint it? Compared to the rest of my life it probably isnt. So why think about it. The most important thing is, that you are happy with your girl during the time you guys are together.

I think it really depends what you are comparing that too. If someone has been in several relationships and they have all only lasted a few months, but he is now in a relationship and has been for two years, he might consider that a long relationship. On the other hand someone might look at that two years and say that is no time at all. I mean, "long" isn't really specific.

I think it would also depend on how much time you spend together. If you see each other every day for 2yrs then that is a pretty long relationship. If it is a couple of times a week then it really isnt as much. I guess it depends on how well you really know each other including all the faults and yet stay together. At around 20 plus or minus 5yrs a 2yr relationship isnt uncommon but it is a pretty long relationship nonetheless.

It's more of a philosophical question than actually being an issue. I don't really care how long i'm with her as long as we're happy, but I just generally want to see how other people view long relationships. I've seen people say 1 year is a long relationship at my age (19) which I'd say is horserash.

I've been with my high school sweetheart for 6 years now (this December), currently on my last year of college and once I get my degree, that's when I'll get married.

I really wouldn't know, but something I have always wondered is when do you tell somebody you love them? At what point in the relationship is that appropriate? I know it's different from person to person, and you actually have to have those feelings first, but when do you just bring it up without having to worry about the matzoh ball? Just wondering.

I'd say a year, but in high school I'd be willing to call a relationship long if they've been together for even half that.
