Depends on your definition of long-term.
http://www.boston.com/news/globe/magazine/articles/2005/03/20/the_church_of_joan_wasser/?page=4 Wasser met Jeff Buckley while on tour in the summer of 1994, and they soon fell in love. Following the release of his iconic debut album, Grace, that year, Buckley's star was on the rise. Fans adored his lovely, troubled ballads; critics were calling him one of the most promising voices of his generation. Wasser considered him the partner she'd spend her life with. Though they lived in different cities for much of their relationship, the two musicians always found time to be together. Their careers frequently intersected as well, when the Dambuilders shared a bill with Buckley and his band or Buckley joined Wasser in her other projects.
Then, in 1997, shortly before the Dambuilders dissolved, Buckley drowned in a tributary of the Mississippi River. He was 30. "It seems like that was another life," Wasser says, "and when that ended, I started a new life, started over. It was like I was birthed, thrown into the freezing water. I felt that I had to start from an infant, really unprotected. And I had an adolescence in there that I'm out of now. And now I feel like I'm actually coming into my own. In the last year, I've matured into my new life."
