Im in a long term one.
We're both students and had chemistry like we'd known each other for years from the moment we met.
Didn't know how long we were going to work out initially since we're from different cultures (she's Asian) but it's been well over a year living together and we click.
She's starting to talk about marriage now and we both want kids so we'll see where it goes.
We want to finish school before making the leap and don't want to tie the knot when we're too young (23) but all things considered, it's likely going to happen after we finish if things remain the same.
That'd make us around 26/27 and truthfully, I'd be ready to have kids and settle down by that point.
Don't want to be too old but I definitely don't want any before we're prepared and neither does she.
We're heading to her folks' for Thanksgiving and mine for Christmas.
Her mom's cooking :wow:

We were together in high school broke up and then got back together when we were 24. I'd had a pretty turbulent life prior to getting back together and even afterwards for several years. I'd say that up until these last three years I finally think that I finally have a moment to breathe now. We've been by each other' sides throughout the deaths of my parents, the divorce of hers, me obtaining my bachelor's degree while fighting potential 6 year state charge, her obtaining her masters while pregnant with our daughter, the death of our grandmothers, some other random jail time for a prior probation violation, a long bout of unemployment on my end and the list goes on. Fortunately we both have great senses of humor and are always willing to put aside our egos in the name of working things out and it's made all these roadblocks seem like mere speed bumps in retrospect. We never lost sight of what the future held for us as a unit and I think that's been the biggest piece of us making it through all this unscathed for the most part.

Truth and logic

We just celebrated nine years. It hasn't always been lovey dovey, but we have always maintained respect for one another and our relationship which has helped when "life" came knocking at the door.

I appreciate having someone I can trust by my side. I am constantly inspired by his kindness and overall personality. As I said in another thread, his strengths are my weaknesses and vice versa. We make an excellent team, and I couldn't be more blessed.

Been married 10 plus.

Getting a little stale.
The kids are the glue....and the sex...and her cooking.
I am weary of her personality and resentment...and insecurity. Thought she would grow out of it.
She is tired of my work hours and being a home mother...and my general apathy for her whining...er feelings.
I am intelligent and worldly...she was in awe once...but never caught up in either category. Those two traits are now irritating to her.
She dislikes my mamma and that nikka that nutted in her. I don't care for them either...but she ain't supposed to cosign.
She has developed a coping mechanism that is degenerative to a healthy communicative relationship.
She likes Empire.:mjcry:

but

We can laugh at other peoples problems and laugh at how sane we are, and lucky to have each other. The alternative is a shallow IG thot for me, and nikka that get his eyebrows arched in skinny jeans for her. So we make it work by talking shyt, sharing a bottle of Remy and make up smash.:yeshrug:

How old are the kids? What's stopping her from getting a job? I had a good stretch of unemployment, and even though I would still carry most of the weight financially it was tough to relate to her normal 9-5 routine of bosses and co-workers. Our relationship improved quite a bit once I picked up a normal job again. It'll probably give her a boost of confidence and self worth too. Maybe not even a job to begin with but perhaps a class or two at a community college.
