Long-term living together relationships between 2 and 4 years - 4.

Short-term things lasting up to about 6 months - 5, I think.

Shorter term fling type things lasting a few weeks to a couple of months - more than 5 Grin Never had a ONS.

All between the ages of 17 and 36.

Four. My first love age 15-18. Two uni boyfriends (one lasted for a few months after uni). Then I met DH when I was 22.

Plus a couple of one-nighters in between.

Why?

NotAChristmasCakePop · 05/02/2018 21:12

2 - married both (not at the same time)

Scribblegirl · 05/02/2018 21:17

6 that I would call boyfriend/girlfriend at the time. Maybe 4 more where we were seeing each other but it didn't get to relationship territory. One lovely non-exclusive dalliance with a friend. And an undefined number of other encounters, because a girl must have her secrets Grin

HandMsMonkey · 05/02/2018 21:19

Too many to count. Rough estimate about 30

Eminybob · 05/02/2018 21:22

Serious partners that I’ve lived with, 4.
Probably another 3 just “dating”.
Been with DH for 14 years though and I’m only 37 so I had quite an eventful late teens and early 20s!

Eminybob · 05/02/2018 21:23

(+ loads of one night stands)

ComtesseDeSpair · 05/02/2018 21:24

Three relationship partners - eighteen months; three years; five years. Sexual partners approaching triple figures, often simultaneously, some of whom have been longer term FWBs and others just one-nighters (or one-hourers!)

mindutopia · 05/02/2018 21:59

Actual relationships? 6 including my now dh between 15 and 27 when we got together, lasting about 6 ish months to maybe 3/4 years (plus my dh, we’ve been together 10). Sexual partners though probably about twice that as there was a short lived more casual relationship in between most of those.

WhiskeySourpuss · 06/02/2018 08:47

If we're talking actual proper relationship partners then 2 too many...

If we're talking sexual partners then not enough...

Long term relationships about 6/7
Sexual partners not a clue Blush
