I have one friend in particular who I went to pre-school with. Our mom's were friends prior to that even. Still keep in close touch today. So I go back with him my whole life, technically. But I've considered him a friend since preschool (4 yrs old). So 30 yrs I guess. We've both moved around extensively in our professional lives and don't live in the same city today.

I've been friends/dating/married to my wife for 14 years.

Best friend since kindergarten, so over 30 years.

We don't hang out all that much, but when we do that might as well be the case.

My brother and I were and are very different people, and got along OK but generally operated very differently. But some time during college we really became friends which has been great.

I have known my best friends since we were in pre-school. Grew up together, grew apart a little in college as we went different places but always got back together when in town but we have always been there for each other.

I have an acquaintance that was born about 2 hours after me in the same hospital. We arent super close. But that would probably be the winner for longest.

Married for 11 years and together for almost 15. Outside of that I would guess some friends I know from school or growing up that would be 30+ years considering I turn 41 this summer.

School/church friends from HS but I don't see them very often. Maybe once a year or less. So that's 49+ years.

My buddy from ISU is still by best friend and we keep in touch and do things together still. We make it a point to call each other every weekend. And text a lot when something interesting to our mutual hobbies makes news. So that's probably the winner. 2020-1976=44 years.

Romance - she is a fickle *****.

Been with my wife for about 19 years, married for 12 of them.

Known my neighbor/friend since 2nd grade so that's been fun.
