Forever means a couple of years - even months

Back in high school, the love of my life said he would love me forever but his "forever" lasted for only a year and half. We had a really nasty break up and I cried for weeks, had a broken heart almost for 2 years. But now I'm OK and I'm glad I moved on.

Here in my culture and religion, marriages are 'arranged marriages' by parents, divorce rate is almost zero, mime was arranged marriage, i got married in 1966, i think i am the happiest woman on this earth my sos, daughter too had arranged marriage, and all are happy celebrities have complicated life, they only know the truth.. thanks for this discussion happy posting, cheers kalyani

Haha i guess we always say things that we mean only at a certain time... Its just really awful right when we think of it that we often break our promises and easily give up on the person we supposedly love.

Yes of course it happens. When you say it, it feels like forever, but for some people it ends up not being that way.

Change is the only permanent thing in this world. Feeling change too just like everything else. Those who promised to love forever may have meant what they said at that time and we can't blame them because that's how they feel and would like to feel forever but then that's not how things are designed. Those who manage to keep the relationship strong and intact means they really worked hard to protect the relationship to keep it going.

yeah I think of that when people take their vows and think it will last forever. look at how many celebrities are getting divorced now and are in pain because they were cheated on.

hello friend! when i promised for forever that means for life time not for a couple of years or months.if i do promise i can maintain it.i like that people who do promise and complete it any how any way. thanks a lot.

Well in my opinion forever means the end of my life. And when i say forever then i really mean it. But that we can't continue. It's a human habit. We can't remember someone or can't continue for until the life.

Dont know maybe cuz i see it around i think love is there but that its not wild does not mean its not there . Maybe cuz i see all my close family and others having happy family makes me thing that love can last forever , i see old people and others being happy . I think that just people are kind of different now , they desire other things mainly then love and family like money fame and others , thats what makes it non special and it last fast . And people are not honest lately , if you build everything on lies it always will fall one day . So i think love can be forever (if there is after life its ok for me :P ) , but people in these days dont seem to want it . But saying after 1-2 months to someone you will love him forever , i think you need a lot more time to get to know him . If i fall in love after 2 weeks of knowing someone that does not mean i will love him forever .
