Love or convenience?

Personally speaking I don't believe in love, I have never felt true love and the only love I have been used to or found is love that uses and abuses! In fact the whole concept behind love is based on fallacy, lies and yes convenience. I know that love will never find me and I know I will never love in my life but it doesn't worry me, after 36 years I am used to it. People are always searching for true love, very few find it!

I think there is a misunderstanding what true love really is. True love also contains convenience and commitment. True it was convenient for women a while ago to find a prince charming who had a good career and could buy a house or an apartment, so they did not have to look forward to living in a crummy flat or a boarding house and live from hand to mouth. So it would seem that what they claim as love, is really not love at all, at least not the lasting kind or else they do not realize that even if you marry for convenience (the man with the $28,000 a year job while you barely made $200 a month) it cannot just remain there, but eventually it will grow into true love and you will have made a commitment.

I think people aren't willing to be committed. They get into a relationship and when something goes wrong they are out of there. In the case of marriage it takes more effort to go through all the things involved in divorce than it does to sort out the problems. If people put their energy into making it work instead of finding faults in the other person, so many people would be better off.

Well if two people who believe that a relationship should last, and must make everything to make things work out meet, then that would be possible for true love. If you both keep the flame of love burning even you're already years together, then it is possible to have a kind of relationship that every couple would dream to have. Love is not always a bed of roses.

Sure. If the divorce rate is 50% then the word true love seems to be a word meant for dictory meaning only and it does not find the application in real life. I think that the rest 50% should feel themselves lucky for not parting each other and supporting, adjusting themselves for the life time.
