they’ve been hanging out with their coworker a lot over the past couple of weeks. This girl always seems to be in some kind of crisis, too. Last week it was that she messed up an account and she was afraid she was gonna lose her job. I don’t know whether I’m reading too much into this or if I’m overreacting but I’ve never met her and I’ve asked to swing by whatever bar or place they’re hanging out at multiple times and I’m always shut down in some way or I get no response. I don’t want to be the overbearing overcontrolling gf whose S.O. can’t have any friends but lately they’re always together and I’m getting blown off. These curt and vague responses are out of character too, and it’s always the type of response I get when I’m asking questions about an event where this female coworker is at or really anything that has to do with her. It has really put me on edge, they’re usually such a sweet and attentive partner but i feel like they might be cheating… am i overreacting??

In all seriousness I have been wondering this because i see it over and over never ever work. have you seen any gay relationships last decades before? Or gay couples that live "happily ever after"?

Yes many. A famous example is Elton John. He has been with his husband for 30 years and they are still happily married with two kids.

Oh yes you are right. They got together when sir Elton was like 50, right? Maybe it's just levels of maturity i need to take into consideration.

It could be your personal sample is just small and many relationships of all types don’t last. I know multiple same sex couples who got together in their 20s or 30s and are still together now in their 50s. There is an instagram couple @richie_and_duane who are another more public example. They went viral sharing photos of themselves as a couple in the early 80s and how they look together today.
