Does everlasting love exist?

I have ended up in love-hate relationships, and prefer getting a "I hate your guts" instead of a "I love you forever" crap.

Everlasting means forever right? Lol
Some people's forever lasts for "10 years" "20 years" etc so yeah I believe in love,

BUT everlasting? Probably not.

 

I could bring religion into this to prove a point but I feel that would start more drama then solve anything so I won't say it.

 

Its like loving Summer. You love the warmth but when that shit starts burning your skin you wish it was Autumn.

Or loving cheesecake, you will love strawberry cheesecake then after you gained 201 pounds you're like FUCK THIS CHEESECAKE. Then spitfire appears and revokes your cheesecake eating privileges for mistreating it.

 

I LOVE BATHIN IN THE GLORIOUS AURA OF THE BURNIN HOT FIREBALL.

 

It's ok. I know you wouldn't mind but there are some people who just live to cause conflict.

 

 I think it is definitely possible to love someone forever.

If you mean the romantic love that keeps couples together, that can last forever too.

But like Ninjatard said, it takes work. And lots of it. Because people are flawed, they make mistakes, they piss you off. And you're planning on staying with the same person FOREVER it's vital that you understand that.

Sure sometimes love will have you floating on air, or experiencing the height of passion. And that's great! That's what fairytales are made of. But this is reality, reality is made up of a series of struggles and obstacles that we have to overcome in order to achieve what we want.

And the thing is many people don't realize that love isn't a fairytale. So when the chips are down or their perfect lover turns out to be slightly flawed the majority of couples today are ready to call it quits. Even if they've vowed to stick together "for better or for worse" just that week.

So in a world like that, how is happily ever after still possible? It's possible because there are still couples out there who realize that there partner is flawed, their relationship is flawed, and they accept those flaws. They say "yes, sometimes I hate this person but it's okay because the love I have for them makes it worthwhile." It's means figuring out that even tho the person you love may be a turd sometimes, you seriously could not imagine life without them, or if you can life looks like it would suck.

I think that when you wake and feel the reality that is the struggle of being in a relationship and accept it, that's when you get everlasting love. ?

 

♡ this thread really made me think. good read irem ♡

 

Yeah, LIKE YOGURT LAND. YOU GO OVER TO YOGURT LAND AND YOU GET THE FLAVOR OF YOUR CHOICE - THEN YOU ADD SPRINKLES, COOKIES, CHOCOLATE, PEANUTS. (And whatever else you want) SOME ADD MORE TOPPINGS THAN OTHERS.

So it's like that, but in reality you have to pick a flavor you will be with the rest of your life, THATS THE ONLY FLAVOR YOU'LL GET TO ENJOY TIL YOU DIE, some come with more sprinkles than others, BUT YEAH,

 

Spit, people are usually more diverse and complicated then yogurt.  we aren't one dimensional we have a lot of different components....

 

Spit 

 

Then when you chose vanilla a few years down the road you're like DAMN I WANT ME SOME CHOCOLATE IN MY LYFE or some coconut.

 

Also, people can change and adapt as time goes on...which is what really makes relationships work. From your suggestion it's like they don't but I know my own parents have changed since they first met....some might not be for the better but we still change.

 

Well to me love is just like inserting a coin and hoping the next toy that comes out will be the one, the ever lasting one for you.
The coin is the effort, time, trust,monetary and feelings you put into the relationship. You may not always get the right one, the one which will last forever, put you keep on trying and hoping the next time will.be the perfect one, the ever lasting love.
And yes, everlasting love do exist, so never stop trying. 

 

I wouldn't know. Everlasting, huh? I don't know about that. Love, even, not really. If I could guess, I'd say it's really situational. Marriage doesn't necessarily mean you'll be together forever, as everyone knows, even though that's the vow you take. Maybe it has to do with the compatibility and stability of both people, how they get along, how they function living together, paying bills, technical things like that. Or maybe how well they know each other and understand and empathize. Maybe the best way to a long standing commitment is a long lasting friendship/love, which are basically the same thing anyways, or at least in my opinion. You should be friends as well as partners, because everything else ebbs and flows, but a strong bond with withstand the test of time.
But to answer your question, it's a really big question mark.
TL;DR: idk lmao
