If you and your SO broke up & got back together...

...what would you say when people ask how long you've been together? (assume the break up was substantial e.g. six months to a year...)

...would you celebrate your "old" anniversary AND your "new" anniversary?

Just curious!
 
i mean. I guess i just would say we have been on and off for x amount of years. If you wanna celebrate a new anniversary then that would be up to you and ya man
 
If you're truly commited to being back together for the long haul, I would only consider the first anniversary. Even if you did break up for a while.

IMO, it's ALL a journey (good, bad and in between), which begins when you first realize you want to be together as a couple. For us, it was our first date. Anyway, that's how we celebrate. We don't even celebrate our wedding anniversary.

I personally don't like it when people ask, "how long have you been married?". I always dream of answering, "who cares!". Although the asker doesn't mean any harm. I feel that the question discounts everything that we'd experienced prior to that pont.

We had great times and lot's of love for each other, before and after we got married. To me, getting married was only a formality. It absolutely didn't change our relationship in any way. I wouldn't trade the time that we spent together prior to marriage for anything.
 
Good question. I generally say on and off for 2 years. I count the old anniversary, but I recognize the new one.
