Do you believe that it's possible for two people (especially two men) to be together forever? Or do people change as they grow older and different and drift apart? I'm kind of struggling with this right now. It's not an immediate problem, I'm just curious what everyones' views are on it. I personally have no idea whether two people can actually stay together forever. I would like to think that it's possible. I really would.
I'd like to believe so also. I've seen the way my brother and his boyfriend interact with each other - sure they've had fights, but they've been sticking it out for a long time now. So yeah, I think its possible to be so comfortable around another person, that they stay together forever, but I don't know if the love itself really remains aflame that long. In today's society, especially with young couples, it's difficult to say.
I would say so. At pride the other week, some couple was in the parade and they were together for 54 years (according to their sign they were holding up).
I used to believe it was absolutely possible Now i am not so sure I'm not sure if I have been disillusioned by my experiences or if maybe i'm just growing up either way, it's sad to me to feel this way
I would like to think this is true. But it makes me sad to think that there is only one person out there for me, in the whole world. And that chances are, with how many people there are in the world, I won't ever find him.
hmm.... no i think there are tons of people out there that you could consider a soul mate if you connected. You need to find people on your level, you need to find people with maybe the same interests and hobbies, get up and go for it, i really do believe anything is possible but it does not come to those that wait for it
I think the idea that there's only 1 perfect person for someone in the whole human population is preposterous. You simply need to find someone with traits that compliments yours. Someone that fits you like a puzzle piece. Spending your entire life searching for 'the one' is going to run you down and demoralize you to a great extent. Some people sink so far down into it, they end their lives thinking it's hopeless. It's a sad state of affairs. Bringing some science into this, you COULD look at other primates. I'm not so sure humans are meant for monogamy, at least not yet. Other great apes live in family groups or tribes, and there is one alpha male whop mates with all the females, the other males do not get mating privileges. Many marriages fall through. And many times even in simple relationships, one person is going to get bored. Both people have to make an effort to keep it interesting. Play the field. You'll never find someone if you don't broaden your chances. I think same-sex relationships have a much better chance of succeeding because of a connection that isn't present with male-female couples. Hell it may be with some very well matched couples, but a few decades down the road it almost always fails. This is why I think it's important to have some good friends that you'll always be friends with, because none of the drama present in a relationships will exist.
Well, I met Steve our freshman year in college, we were both 17. I attended a dorm floor party the second night I was there. I walked in and saw Steve sitting at the other end of the room. I feel in love immediately. It was like being hit with a lightening bolt, a direct hit to the forehead. I meandered my way over there, struck up a conversation, and we spent the rest of the night talking. We spent the next 33 yrs. together until his passing 21 months 2 weeks and 4 days ago. In all those years, I never met anyone that could take my eyes off of him. He was my universe. I was so angry he was taken away from me, but so grateful I found someone to love so deeply and knew he loved me just as much.
there is no fucking forever. a love can last a lifetime, yes. forever no. can u imagine how boring it would be to first--- exist forever and second-- "be" with the same person forever? i never got why people want that afterlife so goddamn much.
When you love someone more than yourself, and everything else in the world, your only hope of reuniting with them is the afterlife. Never thought about it much until Steve passed. Now, what have I got to lose? If there is an afterlife I see my sweetheart again. If there is not, I won't know the difference, I'M DEAD! Thanks for the hugs Glen
Of course, and I say this in the least Romanticized way possible. I just think it is plausible, if not unlikely.
I think so long as both are healthy in mind, you can love that person forever. I mean, if you could go on by yourself, you can go on with someone else. I do believe most people take some things for granted. It's nice to have a familiar face when you wake up, someone to hold you at night, someone to hear and talk your problems, and some people just give it up so easily because of their mood or something. And omg, your story is so hot bill. So sorry he was taken from you.
Anything is possible. Are the chances great? No. Especially not nowadays. I believe it can happen though. But why it would happen baffles me to no end.
