Saying "forever"

[agentholli]

Yep...always and forever. I truly believe that Mark and I will be together forever....stupid? maybe, but it isn't going to stop me from feeling it right now. I was married before..and that marriage did not feel like forever. Mark feels like forever..

My fiance and I most of the time say forever to each other. We can't predict the future, so why ruin the present? If you are insecure then it will ruin your relationship. Either you love him or you don't. Try to put the other way around. Do you want to love him forever? Do you want to be together forever with him? Either it's a yes or no, and remember no one knows how the future will look like. If you find your soulmate, then treasure him/her and don't let go.

We always say forever. We are very realistic about how long it will take to be together and such, and everyone is right you can't predict the future, but if I didn't think it was forever, why would I put my heart and soul into fighting to be with him? I have to put everything I have into this to make it work. I have to give him my forever. And I give him that willingly

we say forever, id see the relationship as pointless if we didnt say it... sounds as if we didnt have a future if we didnt mean forever. love isnt a game or just some phase you go through in life. i have my friends to have fun with but when it comes to love and emotions its not about fun its about falling head over heels inlove with someone and wanting no one but them, and doing anything and everything in your power to stay together. personally. otherwise i wouldnt see the point in being together at all... since i wouldnt be working towards anything just standing still. thats just me anyways.

I say forever. I've had a few serious relationships in the past and I never felt right about them the way I feel about this one. When I say forever, I believe it--I believe that it's a commitment I'm making, to always love him no matter what, even if I have to work at it sometimes. I hope I never do, but I'm willing to if it comes to that. He's worth it.

"I love you, and I always will", "I'll never let you go" etc..

We do say forever and always, and we mean it. He's the one I truly see spending the rest of my life with.. couldn't imagine it without him.

I will love my SO forever, even if I am not together with my SO anymore, I will still love and care for my SO forever

[FadedSunrise]

I don't say it, because its early on yet and I believe people change-sometimes even if they didn't want to. I've already "changed" once, and I don't see it as impossible for it to happen again.

Having said that, I like what sabby64 said earlier about not treating him like he's temporary. I choose to take each day we are together as a gift.

I think it is perfectly acceptable to say you might not necessarily be together forever. Many many things can influence that.

But, in my personal opinion, when you truly do love someone, it never goes away. I will always love my SO. No matter what happens. Love is not conditional. If it ends tomorrow and I never see him again - I love him.

There is a huge difference between a relationship that needs two separate individuals working on it daily and committing to it, vs. plain old feelings in your own heart.

so my bf has always said we are going to end up together...we dont say forever. and i dont ever use that word.we talk about marriage and kids but dont use the word forever but i guess its the same thing as using the word...i dont think there is anything wrong with not wanting to use that word. the fact is during your life your feelings will change a MILLION times. why say something your not sure of. i havent read all your posts and maybe you do have commitment issues but forever IS a long time lol

No.
One thing that really hurt me, was when he said something which my ex said, in quite similar words, as well - "I don't want to say forever, because I want a happy relationship". Which particularly hurt, since his dad dumped his mom after something like 20 years of marriage. I didn't let it show, of course. We all have to be realistic.

I will never ever say forever. There is no way you can know, even as much as you believe it.
