On the topic of relationship lengths....

[Debeer165]

Had a random thought while in a discussion with a few friends. Basically, how much of their lives do people spend in relationships in general? So I decided to make this topic out of curiosity.

How much of your life would you say you've spent either in a relationship or with someone etc, whatever you'd want to call it. Maybe for easier comparison it might be best to put answers in one format... X years spent together / total age perhaps?

Are we supposed to add the SO's age to our own?

 

[MickeyD]

27/49

combined total age?

 

[satanboy]

combined total age?

It doesn't say that.

 

[MickeyD]

It doesn't say that.

It's implied

Sorry for the confusion. No I was thinking in terms of individual age, eg if you're 50 and have spent let's say.. 20 years in various relationships total, you'd say 20/50.

Then I abstain.

Hmm if he's 96

'Declared' and technically defined as a "relationship", I think it's around 0,6/7 versus nearly 32 years of age.

...and happy as can be.

20/39 (It really should read 20/40, but I plan on being 39 for the next 10 years at least).
