Do YOU think Relationships truly last?

I had a talk with an old friend. She and her boyfriend are celebrating their 2 year anniversary Monday. We talked about how she's SOOO madly in love in 2 years and that when they build their own dream house, get good jobs, they plan on getting married. She's 20 and her boyfriend is 21 going on 22.

And as happy (yet protective of her) as I am. Already I'm seeing SOME, not ALL of my friends calling off relationships, blowing off marriages, etc.

Some I actually see still strong and in love, others have a boy/girlfriend that are just sooo...undeserving, some just matured and grew out of the relationship.

So what about you folks, do you believe relationships last? Or will they be gone eventually due to how we as people always change and mature?

Here's another thing. What defines a TRUE love? Usually you see people's myspace with "cute" things like forever and ever and stuff and they feel as if they're TRULY in love...or at one point they were.

My grandparents were married for 60 years.

Depends on the person. It takes quite a bit of work and could be difficult at times, but it can work if both parties are into it and have the same idea

Depends on the people involved. They all end upon the death of one partner regardless.

Obviously. My mom and dad are still together, so are most other relatives I know, or parents of friends, etc.

Same thing for probably many other people.

Can I ask some with some personal experience?

Has anyone felt they found their true love AT ONE POINT?

Where you thought they were the one, you pretty much LIVED for them, lived together, made future plans, even got married.

Then...the love stopped. It wasn't there anymore.

What was that like?

Because there were some people like I said who seem like they were destined to be forever, but then they called off everything. Their relationship, marriage, future together, etc.

But it wasn't out of anger or anything. Some remained on good terms, but the spark wasn't there.

I am single but i think if you truly love someone than yes it can.

If you meet two people in love and have been together a long time there is a good chance that one or both is a Leo.

I thought in astrology certain zodiac signs get along with each other.

In the case of love Leos will try to make it work and everyone has a good time together.

I've been in a relationship for 2 years now. Sure, why shouldn't they truly last?

They can last, yes. Love can go on for a long, long time.Bourbons3

You can't generalize as there are so many various factors with every relationship. But as for most of the people I know personally, they don't.

Statistically, no.

My grandparents were married for over 40 years until my grandma died. So I believe relationships can last just from witnessing the love they had for each other.

They can last if both are willing to work on the relationship together. My wife and I have been married over 10 years and our love is still going strong. It does take two people though to work on it. If only one is willing to put in the effort and the other is not, chances of that relationship working is very small in my opinion.

yes,they can if the conditions are right...which is like 10% of the time.

some do, others don't..

-Exhibit A: my grandparents were married for over 50 years before my grandpa died

-Exhibit B: A friend dated his gf for over 7 years before they got married. they got a divorce less than a year later.

-Exhibit C: A Friend got dumped a full 2 hours after they started dating

it depends on the people

In most cases, you can tell by how they act towards one another.

some do, others don't..

2 hours must be some kind of record.
