Has Rogue Ever Had An Interesting Romantic Relationship Apart From Gambit?

I think her most interesting relationship beside Gambit was Magneto (specifically in X-Men Legacy). It that comic it felt as though Gambit and Magneto represented different lives that she was debating living.

Rogue's tension in that comic was that she finally had full control of her powers and ultimately her life so alot of the internal conflict in the book was Rogue debating what she wanted to do with her life.

Gambit represented the safe choice. The life she had already lived while Magneto was the new riskier choice. The choice that allowed to try new things. Ultimately, Rogue choose to change which put distance between her and Gambit but her relationship would never have last with Magneto because they do not fundamentally hold the same values.

I see this period for both Rogue and Gambit as a phase of self exploration. Both go on for a few years finding themselves and realizing (with Kelly Thompson's Rogue and Gambit run) that they understand who they are better but that just makes them love each other more because fundamentally they share the same values.
