What's the longest you've ever without being in a serious, committed relationship? Since I've started OLD I've heard a range of answers for this one and wondered what the answers here would be.

What age would you start at? I had a serious 3 year relationship in high school, but then again just how "serious" can a high school relationship really be? :-)

I guess my answer would be about 4 years. I had a very serious college sweetheart that did not work out, and the next real relationship was with my now ex-wife.

What is OLD?

The longest I have gone is about 3 years. It should have been longer, but then I wouldn't have my 2 wonderful children!

My last serious LTR (we were together for four years) ended in July 1997. Since then, I've had six r'ships that got to the point of exclusivity, that have lasted anywhere from about 2-8 months. I considered two of those "serious and committed", but I now think I was the only one in the r'ship who did (despite statements from the other person to the contrary).

I was married 25 years, no relationships in the last 2 years (just dating), and in an exclusive 3 month relationship now.
