How long was your longest inter-personal relationship? Was it friendship, family, romantic, or something else?
I'd say anyone's longest relationship of any sort is with their family. Some people may not be super close to their family members, but for me that is not the case. I am very close with my elder sister (who I've mentioned a few times). She has been my friend for approximately 18 years, since before the age of two I probably wasn't much of a conversationalist. We became closest though after she came home from college and we ended up having to share a room, and bed, for about two months. My grandma had moved in with us after spring break of my freshman year in high school, and since we hadn't yet sold our house (we decided later just to add-on to it), she got my room. Also at the time we had our Japanese exchange student (whom we love dearly!), and she was in my sister's room. So, we ended up sharing the guest bedroom and the queen sized bed in it.
My poor sister.
I am a VERY restless sleeper. I'm surprised she didn't end up with bruises from the amount of kicking she endured. We both survived, though. Amazingly. We are still close even though she's married and has a son now. I do my best to help her endure the job of being a mommy.... by showing up at her house, eating her food, and watching her movies. :) That's what sisters are for, right?
