Taking It Day By Day For 11 Years Together (with Dee)

Sextras

This week we’re talking to Dee about long term relationships. We went to school with Dee, and she’s been with her boyfriend for 11 years (since she was 15) so we ask her about the ins and outs of being in a long term relationship when young.

We begin by hearing how she and her boyfriend met, or how they began dating, and later how Dee realised that she was in love and in it for the long run. We then ask about the pressures of being in a long term relationship in your teenage years and early 20s, from dating long distance at university to seeing lots of couples around you break up, to the expectations from your peers to sleep around. Dee tells us what those milestones have looked like for her relationship in the long run, and how she’s responded to the pressures of her friends and family. She then tells a crazy story about how they once nearly broke up over chlamydia.

Naturally, both Dee and her boyfriend have changed over the course of time, so we hear how this has impacted their relationship and how they’ve managed to maintain their independence while also making time for one another. Lastly, we discuss the importance of sex in their relationship, before hearing some of Dee’s tips for a long term relationship. Ultimately, Dee tells us that the success to their long lasting relationship has been to take it day by day.
