What's the longest online friendship or relationship that you've had?

@Magenta: That's great! You're fortunate! 😊

I am, thank you! Just conversed with them actually. 🙂

He says "I am immortalized in his heart, my name carved there until the day he no longer is". 😔

He is a beautiful passionate person.

@Magenta: omgosh, that made me feel all warm and fuzzy! That's so sweet! 😊

Heheh, nice, it did me also! So touching, it hit to the core. There was more.💕

@Magenta: I think I'm jealous now! 😊

Lol, oh please don't be. It prob took a third of that time for me to finally open up and allow him in.
I've also had one that is quite painful.

Anyway...how long for you?

@Magenta: I get it. I'm very private and open up to very few. Especially acquaintances online. However, every once in a while one sneaks up and I let my guard down. My first friendship on EP has lasted 4 years so far. While we don't talk a lot anymore, we still keep in touch. Ironically, he messaged me Friday that he misses me.

It's been 9 months for my friend and I on here. While he has since left the site, we chat daily still and he is my very best friend. I can't imagine a day without chatting with him. I know nothing is guaranteed so I'm just fortunate for the days we get to spend together.

I know all about a painful one all too well also. Learned a lot and vowed never to do it again.

I am the same, private and a bit withdrawn. Ooh yes, the ones that sneak up on you! Develop over time..💘

Aaw that is special and to still be in each others lives, a treasure to be enjoyed. Glad for you.

I understand. We have the pain because it was real to us, we were deeply connected. 🤗
