Relationship success stories :)?

Anyone wish to share ?

there are so many posts about problems, but so little about good things.
I'm sure hearing some some good things would improve the morale (not to be confused with "moral." Those are two very different things.) around here.

As for me,
I'm an aspie. I'm currently i'm dating a very nice aspie girl. we celebrated 6 months this monday, and she's expressed on a couple occassions lately that she wants to get married someday and have my babies. I'm considering this a success so far .

If there are any questions concerning more details on this, the curious may feel free to ask since this probably isn't much of a "story". (I simply didn't feel like making my starting post altogether too long because otherwise some people tend not to read it i think).

Almost 7 months with my first relationship in about 4 yrs. He's a software engineer and I'm a science geek; both somewhere out there on the spectrum. We both work a lot but watch movies and hang out as much as possible. He's met my brother and my mom is coming to visit me next week so he'll meet her too then.

I'm still giddy and start wiggling at the thought

Hit one year with my boy back in March. He's not on the spectrum, but has some of his own issues. My family loves him and his parents (particularly his mom) love me, so that's really good. He had to go back for a 5th year of high school, so he graduates this year rather than with our class last year, but we find time to hang out around my college and his school schedule.

He's mentioned something he wants to get for me in September for our year-and-a-half (I told him save his money for himself 'cause he's moving out of his parents' house a.s.a.p.), but he is insisting on buying a promise ring. We do want to get married eventually, but seeing as I'm 18 and he's 19, we're definitely too young right now.

Next month will mark eleven years together. I don't know if it's a success or not because I don't know what an eleven-years-old relationship is supposed to be like and I think people give a lot of false ideas that no one could possibly live up to.

But . . . still together, no abuse, a strong prediction that we will be together until one or the other of us dies. Our patterns of strengths and weaknesses mesh well enough that we are stronger together than either of us would be apart. Generally, I'd call it a success story.

Well my previous relationship was nearly 2 1/2 years, and she wanted to marry but I had realized that even though we were together so long, I don't think I was ever "in love" with her. Or if I was, it was for a short time. Once we moved in together and I realized what her habits were, I got really turned off.

Anyways, I've been with my current girlfriend for a lil over 3 months now. I think it's going well as we both want to get engaged, and then get married some day. She's not on the spectrum, but she's got her own problems so we both have our own issues to tend to, and to help each other out with.

Sparrow, would you care to share your secrets for a successful relationship with us?

I'm sure it would be pretty helpful!
