Ever notice some say they got out of a long term...when in actuality it was maybe 4 years at most? Some only a year! While those might seem long to them, I feel long term means life. We carry our relationships with us. I am divorced, but those 21 years are still with, and part of me...
Not sure how to explain it, lol.
Just that alot of people don't really understand what long term means.
potato potatoe kind of thing... which I can accept. but there has to be ome common understanding a majority says a relationship can only be called LTR after 'x'amonut of time...
I personally feel like "long term relationship" should only apply to what you are looking for, not what you had. The term implies to me that you are looking for some higher level of commitment from a partner, not just casual dating or a romp in the sack.
And I too believe the term is used incorrectly by a lot of people out there and therefore can be quite misleading.
I just don't think there is any one equation to the question put, hon. Would be easier, yes. But, in he end... would it? Toward what end, is what I may be asking. lol
Although your "terms" I can agree with anyday it seems when beginning a relationship to offer just that is not enough, many want to hear some indication referring to time. Ex. how long was your last relationship, what about the one b4 that, how long since youe last reltionship... all these require a "time" answer.
