How do I know a relationship will last?

Well, I've been with my boyfriend 2 years (I am not exaggerating) and when I think about the future, I always think about it with him. When I think about him being with someone else, my heart wrenches.

But my question is, how do I know that it will last like this and I am not just a stupid teenager? Do all people feel like this with long term partners (especially at our age)? Should I just forget about it and live life? But I want to know if a lot of people have had relationships like this that have just fallen apart over time.

Thanks for any replies :smile:

You can never really 'know' it will last. The world and the people in it are in a constant state of change. It's the way life is :eek:

I feel exactly the same. I've been with my bf for two years as well, and I always think the same thing. there's not much you can do really, just take every day as it comes :smile:

i feel like that to sometimes, it really depends, if you still find your heart leaps eveytime he texts you, and you miss him constantly when hes not there, then youy've got a good a chance as any!! i just find its scary thinking about who id spend the rest of my life with :colondollar:

I was like that for 3 years, we split up and got back together after six months as I felt ill not being with him. I missed him, I couldn't look at other men etc. When I was with him I adored him, when I saw his name on my phone I still had that fluttering feeling etc.

I've since split up with him, I'd fallen out of love with him and now haven't spoken to him for 2 weeks. I was most definitely one of these people that believed that I couldn't not speak to him for more than half a day. I just completely moved on and I don't know why and I don't think I ever will know why.

I was like that with my ex, we were together for a year and it was first proper relationship for both of us, we both thought it would last forever, past uni and we made plans moving in etc. Then one day he turned to me and said he didnt feel same bout me anymore, my life just kinda stopped at that point and hasn't really started again :frown:

Just take a day at a time and be happy while it lasts

Sorry bitter person emerging :smile:

I think you know if you don't worry about that question.

You can't predict the future, but if you think it'll stay good then... :smile:

i often think about this two, we've been together 2 years and i can't imagine anyone else. i often wonder what he thinks too, then occasionally he'll say little things like when we have a house, i'd like one of those

(which is a fair while away cos he's only in his first year of a four year course, and we said we would live together while were at uni cos we want to have the 'uni experience- make our own friends and stuff)

whilst i'm in my second year of a three year course...and that makes me think, he must hope it lasts forever too.
