I don't care which one of the marriages last the longest, I know that i'm in it for the long haul. Cristi and I have been together since March 12, 1998, well over 5 years. granted, we have never lived together, most of that time we lived anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour and half away from each other. we have had our fights, in fact, we have broken up for i believe it was for about a year and a half. the whole time we stayed in contact with each other, we fought, lots, and ek3 can back that up as he was present the night we broke up for good that time. even after all that, after being with other females for extended periods of time, i was happier with cristi during fighting times that i was with anyone else in the happiest times. some people may not understand that, simply because they haven't experienced it, but it's true, being in love really does happen.
