Weirdest Ending of A Relationship?

<< < (82/101) > >>

10 relationships at 16? you have got to be kidding me. i'm 16 and in the past... 16 years (????) i have had one RELATIONSHIP, let alone all this debate over 'serious' i had a two month thing with a friend, and we're still friends now. I openly admit that im not one for going out and finding random people for fun, i would much rather have one special girl who i was close to, but thats just me. the fact the one special girl is one of my closest friends and feels nothing for me is totally irrelevant at this point.

I think its pretty hard to define what happens to be a serious relationship or not. You can have a serious relationship that doesn't end up lasting very long, or a serious relationship with someone who already has a significant other. Isn't the seriousness of a relationship entirely subjective anyway?

the standard way people seem to judge the serious of relationships is by length of time but i don't really get that, to me it's entirely dependent on context. if someone's been with their partner for only a couple of months and says "i'm really serious about this person", it's usually frowned upon but sometimes being with someone for only two months means you just met them two months ago on a dating site, and sometimes it means you were close friends for a very long time before starting the relationship and already knew and cared about each other before the relationship started, and sometimes it could one of a bunch of other complicated scenarios. on the flip side, sometimes you can stay with someone for ages just out of habit and remain totally indifferent to whether or not you break up. i think length of time is irrelevant.

i realized my first serious relationship can kind of fit into the thread's original theme, even though it wasn't so much "weird" as "batshit insane" - he was four years older than me and i had a lot of emotional problems and treated him like shit because i was crazy and insecure, which led to him playing on my insecurities which made me treat him even more like shit which led to a messy screaming ripping-stuff-off-the-walls breakup and me later finding out he had been cheating on me with a bunch of different people throughout most of the relationship. i almost did the "fuck this, i'm never dating anyone EVER AGAIN" thing but then instead i sort of just pondered on it and realized i really was horrible to him and probably deserved what happened. years later, we are friends again and i think i am actually kind of glad to have experienced that horrible stressful relationship because it was a lesson in everything to absolutely never do to anyone ever again.

SonofZ3:
I can say that my most serious relationships have tended to be with women that were already involved with other people. My longest relationships have tended to fall into that variety where you just fall into a groove with someone you don't particularly like because the relationship happens to be convenient at moderately filling a few needs. Live and learn.

danjc2:
Reading this thread leads to several conclusions. either:

All of the millions upon millions of healthy happy relationships are VERY rare coincidence in the world of dating.

OR

The vast majority of people on this forum have extremely confusing relationship histories.

Either way, as a 16 yr old who has not really begun his path through life, it makes me a little scared :|
