    First off, SexyInBlack, sorry to hear about your husband passing away. :(

    *How long was your longest relationship?
    As of today, 6 years, 8 months, and 24 days (gotta love the internet for handy tools like day counters!!!)

    *Are you still together?
    Yeah, lucky me. :)

    *Best memory of this person?
    When she told me she loved me for the 1st time. A cliche, I know, but oh well!

    *Worst memory of this person?
    Her telling me she was leaving to go to college in the UK for a year, and then to CHINA for an internship. :mad: Still, we're halfway through the internship now, so on the home stretch!

    When he asked me to marry him this year!!!

    When we broke up the second time.we were both on J1's in the USA and a summer of non stop drinking, parties and living with 14 other people took its toll on the relationship.the day we broke up-if i think about it now still my tummy turns

    SexyInBlack am sorry for your loss.

    Over 12 years, married 3 years 10 months and a day today.

    *Are you still together?
    He is my soulmate so yes.

    *If not then why?
    n/a

    *Best memory of this person?
    Too many to mention. One would be when our son was born who is a mini-version of his daddy :)

    *Worst memory of this person?
    When we had a really bad break up.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,091 ✭✭✭dearg lady


    SexyInBlack so sorry for your loss.
    this is a lovely idea for a thread.

    *How long was your longest relationship?
    c. 2 years

    *Are you still together?
    no

    *If not then why?
    Things just didn't work out, but we're still friends

    *Best memory of this person?
    When we went to his parents house and he came back in from the back garden with a flower for me. Bit silly, but just always stuck in my mind.

    *Worst memory of this person?
    When we were half way around the world and we had a huge fight, and I ended up in the airport desperately tryin to get a flight home crying my eyes out.

    *How long was your longest relationship?
    Just shy of two years

    *Are you still together?
    No, we broke up at Easter.

    *If not then why?
    He wasn't sure he still loved me, I guess. He could never explain his feelings properly, he just kept repeating that he wasn't happy. He refused to work on things, sadly.

    *Best memory of this person?
    The night he told me he loved him for the first time. It was by far the most romantic moment of my life.

    *Worst memory of this person?
    I've quite a few bad memories, really. The day before he broke up with me, we had a small argument and he completely dropped off the radar. He didn't answer my calls or my texts, and I knew he'd been going on a long drive. I spent 24 hours scared out of my mind that he'd died because I could not get through to him. Turned out he'd just left his phone at home but he thought so little of me at that stage that he couldn't even be bothered borrowing someone else's phone. Then when I finally got on to him the next day, I knew before he said it that he was planning on finishing it. That whole weekend actually sucked beyond belief.

    Just over two years

    *Are you still together?
    no

    *If not then why?
    He dumped me cause I gained weight

    *Best memory of this person?
    When he thought I was asleep, he gave me a squeeze and kissed me on the forehead.

    *Worst memory of this person?
    Telling me I'd turned ugly (and believing him)

    *How long was your longest relationship?
    3 years, 6 months and 23 days

    *Are you still together?
    Yes :)

    *Best memory of this person?
    We're currently in an LDR, so probably when he flew over to London to surprise me for my birthday weekend, he had colluded with my flatmate and I didn't suspect a thing. They'd covered my shifts in work and everything so we spent three lovely days together - and I had thought that I would have a miserable birthday away from home!!

    *Worst memory of this person?
    Probably the time we had an absolutely massive fight, after we'd been together nearly a year. We both said some horrible things, and I didn't speak to him for nearly a week because I just didn't want to see him (it was the Easter holidays). I was so upset I burst into uncontrollable tears in work one day telling someone about it, and had to be put on the stockroom until I had calmed down :o I think he really thought it was over, so he sent me a huge Leonidas Easter egg and a sorry note. I agreed to meet him on my lunch break one day, and it was so good seeing him I pretty much fell back into his arms. We've had fights since, but they've never been so big because we both agreed to try to talk about things instead of letting everything build up into a massive deal.

    *Are you still together?
    Yes!

    *If not then why?
    N/A

    *Best memory of this person?
    There are so many but the one that sticks out in my head is the day he asked me out. He wrote me a letter of everything that was in his head since we started dating.. his fears and worries and what I meant to him and on the end was a little question asking me out I remember getting butterflies in my stomach. I remember texting him back at 6:14pm saying YES!

    *Worst memory of this person?
    The day when we were in a car crash and I was taken to hospital in an ambulance all I can remember is seeing paramedics around me but not seeing my boyfriend anywhere I was scared he might be hurt or worse :( Thankfully he jumped into the ambulance just as we were going and held my hand the whole way there.

    Just fizzled in the end...even though I refused to admit it at the time!

    *Best memory of this person?
    One of the days that he surprised me and we just hung out :)

    *Worst memory of this person?
    Our break-up in general. It was pretty bad.

    *How long was your longest relationship?
    Just under two years

    *Are you still together?
    No, we broke up in 2008.

    *If not then why?
    It became a long distance relationship

    *Best memory of this person?
    Visiting her in England that first time since she moved and that feeling of such joy and excitement

    *Worst memory of this person?
    Probably the night before she left - she came over to my house and we cuddled until she had to leave.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,884 ✭✭✭Eve_Dublin


    *How long was your longest relationship?
    A little over 2 years.

    *Are you still together?
    Nope...broke up November 2007

    *If not then why?
    I didn´t fancy him anymore.

    *Best memory of this person?
    When we decided we´d move to Scotland together. Very exciting.

    *Worst memory of this person?
    Realising I didn´t fancy him anymore and having to tell him without hurting his feelings...but I still hurt his feelings. I´ll never forget his face. I still cared about him but the chemistry disappeared practically over night. I was gutted as he was the soundest man I´ve ever gone out with.

    -

    *Best memory of this person?
    So many! Going to visit him in the US last January for 2 weeks was lovely.

    *Worst memory of this person?
    When he emigrated in Oct 09, was anticipating a breakup but fortunately have stayed together and got through it :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,349 ✭✭✭✭starlit


    Exactly what the title says girls...
    *How long was your longest relationship?
    2 and a half months!:o

    *Are you still together?
    No

    *If not then why?
    We had two breaks on and off and then we broke-up, things weren't working out between us and we both had issues that could not be worked out so we broke things off. Better off 'cause we were beginning to get unhappy in our relationship. We wanted different things and realised we didn't like each other as much as we did. I guess we drifted apart a bit!

    *Best memory of this person?
    The night we met best memory of him, chemistry and sparks flew when we first kissed, it was magical and felt a bit like being in heaven!

    *Worst memory of this person?
    After we broke-up, things started to go weird, he was trying to set me up with not one but two of his friends whom I never met or knew which I felt was childish. We didn't stay friends after and broke all contact with him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,404 ✭✭✭✭Pembily


    Exactly what the title says girls...

    *How long was your longest relationship?
    4 years, 3.5 of which were bad in hindsight!!

    *Are you still together?
    Thankfully NOPE :D

    *If not then why?
    I finally saw that he was a controlling pr!ck!!

    *Best memory of this person?
    Sadly none anymore, he tainted all of them!!!

    *Worst memory of this person?
    When he told me suicide is the most selfish thing someone can do, 3 / 5 days after my cousin, whom I was very close to, took his own life!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,698 ✭✭✭✭Princess Peach


    *How long was your longest relationship?
    About a year

    *Are you still together?
    No

    *If not then why?
    He just stopped liking me I think, never really got a full explanation

    *Best memory of this person?
    So tough to pick! Maybe our first date at the cinema where he held me so tight and kept kissing my hands and my hair and squeezing me.

    *Worst memory of this person?
    When he broke up with me, and I couldn't stop crying and he just sat there and said nothing.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 20,366 Mod ✭✭✭✭RacoonQueen


    *How long was your longest relationship?
    We had 3 attempts, with big gaps inbetween. About 18 months in total.

    *Are you still together?
    Nope.

    *If not then why?
    Oh I dunno. He was an incredible guy, few years older than me, I was young and although we loved each other to bits and were the best of friends, I never felt as if I could give him what he wanted or deserved. Never, ever stopped loving him and I never will. As a couple it just wasn't right though.

    *Best memory of this person?
    Pretty much every single one of them.

    *Worst memory of this person?
    Losing him last year at the tender age of 29.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,485 ✭✭✭✭Ickle Magoo


    *How long was your longest relationship?
    10 years so far...

    *Are you still together?
    Yep, married 6 years and two kids later....

    *If not then why?
    N/A

    *Best memory of this person?
    Too many. Laughing so hard I literally cannot stand. Spending days in bed together, the time we went to the fancy dress party straight from lectures and got ridiculously drunk...watching him on the floor playing with the kids...

    *Worst memory of this person?
    Grabbing a pillow and heading to spare room so he could get a night's sleep, leaving me in pieces with a premature baby that had been screaming for a week with reflux and a still healing from an emergency section & pre-eclampsia. He's apologised I don't know how many times but it still makes me :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,724 ✭✭✭seenitall


    Sorry for your loss OP. :(

    *How long was your longest relationship?
    Just over 3 years.

    *Are you still together?
    Fortunately no!

    *If not then why?
    He dumped me.

    *Best memory of this person?
    Any one of him parenting our daughter. Again fortunately, he's a caring and responsible father overall - we were just very wrong for each other.

    *Worst memory of this person?
    There are many. Rolling his eyes at me while I was in labour, always snapping at me, me running down the high street (up the supermarket aisles, down the prom, in the airports...) to catch up with him as he was never bothered to wait for me or walk in step with me, verbal abuse while sloshed, putting me down in front of our flatmates, dumping me. (With the last thing, of course, he did me a huge, lasting, invaluable favour. :D)

    N/A thank God.

    *Best memory of this person?
    When he thought I was asleep and he started talking to me and saying lovely, romantic things!

    *Worst memory of this person?
    A couple of fights we had.

    *How long was your longest relationship?
    10 years ago today

    *Are you still together?
    Yes - we got married earlier in the month


    *Best memory of this person?
    Small little memories like hearing him chat to the dog, or cold rainy nights with a fire lit (like tonight). The night he proposed and the look on his face when I got to the alter at our wedding.

    *Worst memory of this person?
    One new years eve, I'd had a really tough year and didn't want to celebrate, he had said he'd stay in with me and have a quiet one, then left at the last min to go out. I felt at the time as if he had abandoned me to bring in the new year alone after the hardest year of my life. I was so so sad and so angry I scared myself. The saddness was really due to the horrible time I'd had but at the time it was easier to blame him.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,073 ✭✭✭sam34


    *How long was your longest relationship?
    almost 5 years

    *Are you still together?
    nope, split up over 6 years ago

    *if not, why not?
    fizzled out mostly due to distance and both our crazy work commitments, no animosity or big falling out, and to this day he is one of my closest friends.

    *Best memory of this person?
    no one big huge thing, but hundreds and hundreds of little things.


    *Worst memory of this person?
    cant say there was anything terribly bad
    we only had a few arguments in all that time, and they never lasted long

    *How long was your longest relationship?
    35 years

    *Are you still together?
    Yes it's hard to split up with yourself but I have been mad at myself for long periods.

    *if not, why not?
    Well I guess I could choose not to be in a relationship with myself and not put time and effort into working on who I am and how I treat myself and not demand respect for me from me but I think my life is better this way.

    *Best memory of this person?
    Whan I have accomplished things, there is nothing like looking at something and thinking
    I did it, I did that, I have made a difference to me in my life and those I love.


    *Worst memory of this person
    How I have dithered for too long and when I have not has as much confidence in me, there are some very low and bleak parts to my life when I didn't grasp the nettle and make changes but I have weathered it.

    Honestly I am looking forward to sitting down and having a drink with myself in 35 years time and seeing how this relationship grows.

    *How long was your longest relationship?
    5 Years

    *Are you still together?
    No

    *If not then why?
    Work...he had his own business and I was always second place to that and then the recession didn't help. I know this will sound selfish but he worked so hard he had no time for me. I didn't want to be second place! I supported him all I could but it got to the point where I had forgotten about myself. We still talk and are really good friends. I'll always love him as we went through so much together and i'll never forget him for being there for me. But it was bad timing for us. We got to the point where we should have taken the next step up but we ended it instead. Still regret it..


    *Best memory of this person?
    I have a video of him singing all I want for Christmas is you to me holding the camera... Its so funny and I love watching it. If you met him you would never think of him doing something like that!!

    *Worst memory of this person?
    Stopping me from talking to a really good friend. He gave me the choice him or the friend... Not Nice!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,121 ✭✭✭Censorsh!t


    *How long was your longest relationship?
    One and a half years

    *Are you still together?
    Nope

    *If not then why?
    When I look back now, I don't think I really was in love with him. And when I woke up to this, I just couldn't even fool myself anymore.

    *Best memory of this person?
    I haven't even though about this to be honest!

    *Worst memory of this person?
    Towards the end of our relationship. He got very patronising. The last few weeks were awful, because I was trying to bring myself to break up with him but couldn't.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 163 ✭✭kiwi123


    Sorry for your loss SexyinBlack.

    *How long was your longest relationship?
    three years

    *Are you still together?
    no

    *If not then why?
    fought a lot, pushed each other away, expected far too much from each other and that just led to disappointment.

    *Best memory of this person?
    when we started going out we were sixteen, I was super excited about Christmas, he put on antlers, crawled on the ground and sang jingle bells to make me smile.

    *Worst memory of this person?
    Last few weeks, feeling of not wanting each other anymore but the fear of being apart. Realising he wasn't the same guy I fell in love with.

    Sorry for your loss SexyinBlack.

    *How long was your longest relationship?
    9 years and 10 months, married for 5 years and 10 months

    *Are you still together?
    No

    *If not then why?
    Unfortunately his priority in life was his work and making money, and he left very little time for me or his daughter.

    *Best memory of this person?
    His speech at our wedding reception when he said "I looked down the aisle and saw my wife to be and thought how lucky am I!" I will never forget those words as long as I live.

    *Worst memory of this person?
    Shortly after I had given birth our daughter, I had lost two babies previously, and I asked him what was it like to see our baby arrive alive into the world. He looked at me and told me it was nothing special, that he had seen cows calving a million times before :mad::mad::mad::mad: Our relationship never recovered after that.

    *Best memory of this person?
    Just the little thing really. Making time for each other and enjoying each others company. First time we went away together. First time I told her I loved her (was very nervous).

    *Worst memory of this person?
    We both wear our hearts our are sleeves, which leads to alot of silly fights. Sometimes they can escalate, which is always tough to handle. Also the time she was away in america on a J1, like i was missing a right hand.

    Uh huh!

    *Best memory of this person?
    I was staying over at his house and I was smothering with a cold. To make me feel better, he wrapped me up in one of his jumpers (to sweat out the cold) when we went to bed and held me until I fell asleep.

    *Worst memory of this person?
    When he was in hospital with a stomach infection. It was heartbreaking seeing him lying on a trolley right next to the entry doors to the A&E.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,039 ✭✭✭IrishGrimReaper


    Almost 3 Years, it was my own fault it ended.

    It's weird, before it I would've considered myself a loner, and didn't really need anyone.. However it's thanks to her I came to realize how much of a relationship man I actually am. Funny how that happens.

    A huge fight we had the night of my graduation. Thankfully sorted it all out!

    *How long was your longest relationship?
    About a year

    *Are you still together?
    No

    *If not then why?
    He just stopped liking me I think, never really got a full explanation

    *Best memory of this person?
    So tough to pick! Maybe our first date at the cinema where he held me so tight and kept kissing my hands and my hair and squeezing me.

    *Worst memory of this person?
    When he broke up with me, and I couldn't stop crying and he just sat there and said nothing.

    Sounds like some *sshole youre better off without...

    *How long was your longest relationship?
    4 years

    *Are you still together?
    glad to say absolutely not because I am now with the love of my life for the past 3 years!

    *If not then why?
    His addiction to drugs and alcohol and his mother was really hard to deal with which didn't help. In her eyes her son could do no wrong

    *Best memory of this person?
    The day we broke up, it was such a sense of relief. No tears, no sadness, only a sense of freedom. I could never bring myself to break up with him, I felt responsible for him like I was his mother. So when he broke it off, I emigrated and started my life over and met my current partner. Two months after though he rang me from jail after he was done for drug possession/drink driving and driving into an off-duty police officer, we are no longer in contact so I can only hope he turned his life around.

    *Worst memory of this person?
    I worked 60 hours a week working 3 jobs min wage horrible jobs to keep us afloat while he was on disabilily only to come home one evening to find he had forgotten to hide his "stash." He swore he gave it up. I'll never forget that moment when I realized I'd never trust him again. He made me feel like such a fool and I hated myself for it.

    N/A

    *Best memory of this person?
    My camera was stolen one day several years back. Besides it being expensive, it was stolen from my office at work so it was someone I worked with, and I REALLY love my camera. He was working nights at the time and I told him not to come home from work early, but he got out an hour or so ahead of time anyway and managed to get me flowers from somewhere at 3am to cheer me up.

    *Worst memory of this person?
    I actually have a really awful and selective memory. I can't think of anything to put here... probably even if I could I wouldn't.

    A beautiful magical perfect holiday we had together in Italy just after we got engaged, it was like a mini-honeymoon for us. I think it was the best week of our lives for both of us! Looking back, I have only lovely happy loved-up memories from the holiday. It was just amazing!

    *Worst memory of this person?

    Valentines Day when we were going out just over a year. We were in his car driving out to his house for the night and the fecker decided to swerve into the ditch and have a weird random asthma attack, well it wasn't actually asthma, some other weird medical problem, but basically we were in the middle of nowhere and he couldn't breathe and I didn't know what to do and it was horrible, seemed to take years for the ambulance to get there. :( Scary scary stuff.

    How long was your longest relationship?
    3 and half years, probably only happy for 1 year though.

    Are you still together?
    No, and I've never been happier.

    If not then why?
    The relationship ran its course due to a number of factors. I guess you could call it a clash of personalities, but more accurately he turned me into a shadow of my former self. We should have just stayed friends and nothing more.

    Best memory of this person?
    I suppose I do have nice memories of the first time we got together. Young love and all that. But knowing what came after them makes that time quite sad. He obviously made me happy sometimes or I wouldn't have been with him, I guess.

    *Worst memory of this person?
    Several. Humiliating me in front of my friends/family at a very sensitive family event would be right up there though. That I was so used to be being treated like that by him says it all about our relationship.

    I'm not bitter though :P I would say that I genuinely hope he treats his next girlfriend a helluva lot better than me.

    Yes, thankfully. :)


    Best memory of this person?
    I have a lot of good memories, all those quiet nights in just cuddling on the couch or in bed! And when she always snuggles closer because she is cold!

    Worst memory of this person?
    When I found out she was sick, we hadn't being going out that long. I was really worried what would happen to her. Sad times, but all clear now :)

    *How long was your longest relationship?
    8 years, from ages 15-23

    *Are you still together?
    no, but we're buddies.

    *If not then why?
    we grew apart. i also didnt feel attractive around him anymore...other people were hitting on me but he had no interest in me. i wanted to meet new people and go on dates and all that fun stuff.

    *Best memory of this person?
    Too many to mention! the day of our first kiss will always stay with me in huge detail. walking in the cold with my hand in his hand in his coat pocket. bringing me sherbet fountains and kinder eggs when i was at work. ordering pizza and curling up.

    *Worst memory of this person?
    When he told me he cheated on me. one particular argument where he actually chased me when i tried to get away from him. yuck. when he didnt want me to meet his work mates because he knew right well he acted like a completely different person around them.

    How long was your longest relationship?
    10 years 3 months and 24 days (kinda scary to see it like that!)

    Are you still together?
    Yes :D

    Best memory of this person?
    Lots of fabulous memories so hard to choose!lol! Probably when he was in France for the summer (missing my birthday) he sent me a book filled with the letters we wrote to each other when we first started going out. (He lived in Donegal and I lived in Cavan, cringeworthy when I think of it now :p)

    Worst memory of this person?
    When he decided to move to France permanently. I cried my heart out for weeks after he left. He lasted about six months over there and moved back thank God!:D

    When he randomly brings me flowers for no reason.
    Cuddles in comfortable silence.
    Losing my virginity to him.

    He once was 2 and a half hours late for a date and when I rang him he was still asleep in bed. :mad:

    *How long was your longest relationship?
    4 years, 20-24

    *Are you still together?
    Nope, but still friends

    *If not then why?
    He decided to go travelling with his friends and wanted to be single as I was his first girlfriend and he felt he was missing out, that wasn't what ended it (although it should have been!) but being on my own was a bit of a lightbulb moment, realised how uptight I felt around him and was much more myself when he was gone. Then I went to a friend's wedding looking for a boy to flirt with on the day to entertain myself, and met an amazingly funny and attentive guy who made me realise that really my boyfriend was none of the things I actually wanted in a boyfriend.

    *Best memory of this person?
    Such a random little thing, when we moved to Canada for a year I was incredibly nervous starting my new job. So for the first few days he travelled to work with me on the tram, met me after, and made me dinner in our tiny bedsit, which we sat eating on our inflatable bed with just the radio on a cardboard box beside us. It was very Us Against The World for a while!

    *Worst memory of this person?
    The night we had a fight after a night out and he went home and left me alone in a new city of 4 million people, he had my money so I had to walk home alone at 3am. He also had a really annoying habit if we were fighting, he'd say something horrible and vicious that he'd know would make me cry just before we went to bed, and then turn his back and go to sleep while I sobbed my heart out.
