Unlike CHCB...
...who seems to have boundless experience in this area, not to mention the generosity of spirit to pass on her advice, I have nothing to say here.

Nothing. Bugger all.

While I was dumped a couple of times before I was 15 (I was never the dumper - too polite), pretty much from that point on, I've been with the now Mrs Fireflier. We've never split up during that time, we may have had our ups and downs, but we're still together and show no sign of imploding in the near future.

I'm now 33 (just, still - birthday next week), so that's coming on for 18 years we've been together. My relationship can nearly vote!

My secret? Has nothing to do with length...

If you can get her to dump you
By the end of this week, I'll give you £100.
OR...
A Mystery Prize...
OoooooooooOOOOOoooooooh....

if things had worked out for me the way they should've
I would be 3 years married by now and living in Dublin and would be far less cynical.

If you were less cynical
would you still be the CHCB we've come to known and love?

Actually, if you'd gotten married, would you still be on B3ta?

@Kaol
If the mystery prize is a speedboat I wanna play!

Not really, the lady I told you I had a date with the other week is now Miss K and all is right with the world, apart from her youngest one waking me up at 6.30am on Sunday telling me he needed his bum wiped. Romance, eh?

@ Belgaer
Why would CHCB not be here on b3ta if she was married?

I'd be 'accidentally' forgetting to put out his slippers in the hope that he'd slap me around a bit.

"Where's my dinner?"
"It's in the oven, you're late home, it's all burnt"

"What!? Right, I'm going down the pub, I want you in something pretty when I get back"

If CHCB wasn't cynical
I'm sure she'd be pretty much the same, but not cynical.

Anyway: @Fireflier: Congratulations. Have a click from me!

me too!
I'm glad I'm not the only one!!!

Mr Kitty and I have been together since I was 15, never broken up and all the other things you said.

Only my relationship is just hitting puberty at 11.5

Yay us! Yay you! Yay Mrs Fireflier!

*dances around happily*
*falls over*
