I've been with my husband for 5 and a half years. We've had times where we weren't together together, but always in love and the first to call each other. We've been married for 7 months. Though now that I've gotten out on my own (I lived with my mother for the first few years of our relationship) and my problems are much more noticeable, we have a lot of issues with certain things. He's actually said to me that I'm so weird, he doesn't even know if he can handle it some days. =( But yes, I am in a long term relationship/married.

I have never been married or in a long term relationship. That is a lot more likely for women on the spectrum than men.

I have been married for more than 9 year, and it has been 9+ very hard and long years. I was only recently diagnosed with Aspergers. I drive my husband nuts just as he drives me nuts.

Never been in a relationship, no doubt never will. Somewhat concerning, but I've resigned myself to it. Kind of difficult to meet people with my lifestyle, and extremely difficult to meet people I'd have the slightest chance of strongly liking. Let alone loving. Coupled with a fear of close contact, I'll most likely never have an intimate action either.

I've never had any kind of relationships, dates, or anything. I would like to hope that it would be possible, perhaps with someone else who has similar issues(or just someone with a ton of patience), but at the moment i can't see how i could manage anything like a normal relationship.
