hm well longest relationship was on and off for 7 years, cut out the stupid middle school shit and it was 5 years. many of the times we broke up were really bad, but apparently we always got back together. final break-up was friendly though, sad but we were civil to each other. since then, we were still best friends for a while, we always had been. now after a year apart at college (i'm in nyc, he's in illinois), we've grown a bit distant but we still talk and are really friendly. i do compare others to him at times, only because he's the only guy that can put up with me for so long.
