Paper never loses battery!

YES. this happened to me with the first few relationships i was in. i found it happened as i started to have emotional problems within the relationship. but the pattern did break eventually!

My new stand mixer did make pizza dough even faster. So I guess we had pizza more often after marriage.

Yes, absolutely. Skin just crawls. I feel so bad when it happens too, because its such an extreme reaction.

My parents were married in three months and never wavered. I realized (with my last relationship) that that was the length of time I would tolerate someone before cutting them loose - they didn't always make it that long. I don't think it was a coincidence but it wasn't intentional.

We were together about 5.5 years before we got married. Nothing changed really. We already lived together, so that wasn't a transition. And we don't plan to have kids, so there's none of that added... stuff. The only thing that changed was we got nicer pots and pans (since people bought us gifts).

My husband and I met in high school, and we were together for 10 years before we got married. In that time, we graduated high school and college, got engaged, got un-engaged, went through undiagnosed mental illness (me) and then diagnosis, moved cities for me to start my graduate work and lived together for almost 3…

I'm my husband's first date/girlfriend/everything else. Sometimes we'll be watching some sitcom or something and there's some lame dating moment and I'll be all "man, I don't miss that" and then I realize he can't relate at all. Not weird though. Just lucky. If I could have skipped over the other dudes and got…

I recognize this pattern.

dude, this happened to me with my ex fiancé. It was fucking terrible. I wanted to leave the room if he even put his hand on my knee. He is still a very nice guy though! It's like switch inside me got flipped really suddenly.

Despite what I sometimes imply about my mom, she's pretty chill on the landing a man front. She wants grandkids, though; every now and then she'll get drunk and whine about that. My dad was even worse on that end. He was always like, "Never get married; marriage is a bullshit soul-detroying institution for suckers.…

Here's a question: Does anyone get repulsion?

I dunno, you just know? And kind of hope it works out?

I've only ever been in the one relationship and we just passed the 8 year mark last week. Got together at age 20 and I guess just... stuck with it. It's weird and it bothers me sometimes that it's weird - like I've fucked up royally by not dating but... eh.

My relationships usually last 10 months. I pretty much know they're the wrong guy after 4 months, but hold on longer than I should for social or financial reasons.

My late father was married 4 times, for approximately 9-10 years each.

It got to the stage with the last few, when they came visiting with him at around the 9 year mark, I would give them a slow, sympathetic and slightly awkward smile.

After spending two years on someone who clearly wasn't right in high school, I did very deliberately start weeding them out quickly to avoid falling into the same trap. The last one has stuck around for 14 years. I don't think I knew he was right immediately. He just never demonstrated any sort of thing that was…

Ditto! I don't think I had dated anyone consecutively for a year (a couple on-and-off things for a year) before I met my husband. My usual relationships were 3-6 months max. I don't know why he was different, but from the beginning I knew that our relationship was worth working and fighting for; it would have been…

Considering the only meaningful relationships in my life are books, about as long as it takes to drain the battery on my Kindle.

Previous to my husband, all of my relationships ended within 3-6 months. I knew I wanted to marry my husband within three months and told him so, we were engaged after 8, and now it's 4.5 years later. I dunno, you just know? And kind of hope it works out?
