best advise... hmm. try and put yourself in the other person's shoes. try and make them happy. oh, and don't be a pushover.

Best advice i could give for relationships would be there's no such thing as normal! Everyone will do things differently. Also communication is vital!
I've been in a relationship with my partner for 16 months, 6 of which have been long distance. We have a very strong relationship and have many times discussed marriage, kids and our future together.
When we have time together we do all sorts of things, cinema, bowling, meals out, shopping, talking, watching TV, going for walks together, cook for each other etc. Now i'm 250 miles away we tend to talk a lot on the phone as we can't really do much else.

I'm interested because I haven't in around 9 months as I am too busy thinking instead of doing things. I want to see how other people get on and do things and their views of relationships..

I'm in a long-term, long-distance relationship. I'm female and my partner is male. I'm nearly 21, he'll be 26 in the summer. He lives in France, I live in England.
We both went to the same uni (at different times) and met over our uni internet forum. We met a few months after meeting online and we've been together for just over two years. We love one another dearly and plan to get married etc etc. When we see one another it's usually for a minimum of 4 or 5 days at a time and at best for 2/3 weeks at a time. We tend to go to museums, go shopping, go out for meals, go on day trips to big cities, go on walks, and do random things like visit aquaria
Then there's all the little things like the cooking together, reading in bed together, the cuddles and etc etc 
This summer I'm going to go and live with him in France from July-September, can't wait 
Being long-distance, while being quite difficult, works quite well for us - we're able to get on with our social lives and our studies, part-time jobs etc etc while not ruining our degrees while living in one another's pockets
Is it strong? Hell yes. We started off on a very good foundation - I think people tend to open up more on the internet than in real life so by the time we met we already felt like we knew one another inside out. From being in an LDR I'd say that trust and communication are undoubtedly the most important things

I've been with my bf for a month and it varies between being good and awful depending on his mood because he changes his mind about stuff loads. When we see eachother I usually go to his house/shopping. Hoping stuff with get better and it will last.

I am in a long term relationship, I have been with my boyfriend since december 2003- so just over 3 years. We are both 18. We have never split up or taken a break.
Other than the fact that hes away at university most of the time (as of september 06) things are pretty much perfect. He is perfect.
There is no good advice that you can give really though because every relationship is different.

This seems a random thing to ask ... but I'll oblidge anyway.
My boyfriend and I have been together for just over 11 months. We got together after being friends for a while - he'd asked me out twice before but I turned him down. We got together when we ended up spending the night in the same bed, and I kissed him.
Even though we've had a few ups and downs in our relationship (mainly because of university), and we're unsure about the future of our relationship, he's my best friend and I really hope I don't lose him, because he's so silly and funny and amazing

Yeah it is random - I am just interested in other people's 'relationship stories' - dunno why. Just want to know to build up some idea for myself.

I've been with my boyfriend for 2.5 years. We met on our first day at uni - we lived opposite each other in our first year. We pretty much lived together from the beginning - had both our beds on one room and both our desks in the other. we became very close very quickly as a result and have never really been on 'dates' as such since we have always lived together. we're both quite geeky and enjoy playing computer games, generally dossing on the internet. we've been known to msn each other while in adjacent rooms, lol! but we also both love getting out and going on random trips into the countryside- cycling or public transport. we get on incredibly well - we're like best friends and we can be completely open about everything.
oh yeah and he's Taiwanese, i'm English, but despite growing up at opposite ends of the world we have a lot in common.

Been with current boyfriend for 16 months or so. We have a very complementary relationship. I force feed him vegetables and is my voice of reason (i lack a conscience). Whereas I'm hideously indecisive and a bit happyclappyslappy he will unequivocally tell me I don't have enough money/time to do what I'm thinking about (or equally, that I do).
We don't do everything together but we live together, so there aren't the excited phone calls at the end of the day as it used to be before (LDR), but we are 'tried' on a day to day basis because of this. It's made me less selfish because he'll pander to my every need so I need to consciously not become enveloped by it and make sure that I'm putting in as much effort into making him happy as he is with me.
Best relationship advice? Agree from the beginning that you can talk about *anything* without the other flipping if it's something a bit taboo.

I met my boyfriend through a friend of a friend. He's amazing, proof that nice boys exsist and I love that. He's away in Peru at the moment and I miss him like crazy but I know in the long fun it'll be good for us to spend time apart. We've been together nearly 2 year (20 months right now) and it's be fantastic. I never understood love that much but it's great to find out that it is as wonderful as people say it is. I trust him compeletly and it's so nice to have someone to share everything with.
When we're together we cook, talk the dogs out for walks, mong about really. We're always saying we should DO more stuff (like days out and things) but we are actually quite happy just sitting about together.
We do have a very strong relationship and him being away and the whole uni thing that's looming will make us stronger I'm sure. Sometimes I feel like all the odds are against us at we got together at 16/17 (I'm now nearly 18, he's nearly 19) but I know that people do make it and I'd love one of those to be us.
I know everyone's already said this, but talking is very important. We've never really had an arguement because we talk to each other so much about it. There are times when one of us upsets the other but we know when that happens and we sort it out as soon as possible and never let it linger. Also NEVER bring up past fights in an arugement (I learnt this from him and his mum but it's very important). Once you've talked about something, leave it. Don't bring it up unless it is REALLY relavant

(TSR username) Will and I have been together for 18 months (almost to the day) and I would say our relationship is very strong. We started going out on the first day of upper sixth and so far are surviving uni pretty well, even though we've both changed quite a lot already. It's getting to the time of year when all around us people's relationships are beginning to break up for whatever reason but I think we're doing ok so far. We are both at uni in London but whereas the RVC is in Camden, Royal Holloway is out in Egham so we are about an hour apart. Therefore we're not as close as it might sound but I really can't complain as some of my friends are hours and hours apart from their boyfriends, though I don't know any who are in international-style LDRs. We have an amazing sex life and are very compatible physically, so we often forgo actually going out in favour of just lying together. I think we would both agree that the physical affection is the best thing about our relationship. We spend lots of time kissing and holding each other, snuggling etc which is really lovely 
When we do go out we do the regular stuff like restaurants, cinema, coffee etc etc...in the beginning we played a lot of pool but then someone got shot in the games hall we used to go to and they closed it lol. Last summer was great because we did loads of days-out kinda stuff like theme parks and went camping in Devon for a week which was brill for me as I dragged him to every place that was either intended for kids or had animals and made him pose for pictures doing stuff like kissing sheep or getting bitten by peacocks. So ultimately I would say our relationship finds its strength in me forcing him to do stupid things, getting photographic evidence then laughing cruelly.

me and my gf have been together 3 and a half years, we love each other, we're at uni now and plan to live together 2nd/3rd year, we've been sleeping together for 3yrs 4mnths of the relationship, we spend time together, sleep together, go out shopping, go to the cinema, go into london. Just spend time in each others company, and spend time in bed together not necessarily having sex, i stay at hers (at home not uni) sometimes, on saturday nights, she has a double bed, we just cuddle and kiss naked in bed... works for us.

Hi, I've been with my bf for 3 years, 2 months and 16 days () and we're both big geeks so probably a different perspective on relationships here.
Things we do when we go out together: see movies, go out for dinner, go and see comedians, go to pub quizzes, go to gigs, we go to the astronomy society too. Last night we went to see Lenny Henry, was very funny.
When we stay in we'll either be snuggling, watching CSI/Stargate/Star Trek/(insert american TV show), playing on the Wii or fooling around on the net, there is also other types of fooling around.
I'd say we are pretty strong since we've made it at uni together so far and have just found a 2 bed flat where we'll live together next year Can't wait!

Wow Stargate I love the earlier seasons. That's only a love that me and my brother share, I've yet to introduce it to my boyfriend lol.
We've been together since the middle of June and it's all good! I think its been a particularly smooth ride because we've got mutual friends and so we can all go out together - spending time with both him and friends is easily managed. Doing a mix of different activities is great, and trying new things - we've done loads from go-karting to gay nights out and I've got loads more in store to shake things up again
we both don't take things too seriously and can discuss anything without worrying that it might be offensive, which is a big plus.
