No, that is not how I think.

If you take it past the romantic kind, what of your children or mother or, etc.. do we expect that to expire??
ETA: Not speaking of when we die, obviously.

I abhor this modern mentality that treats people and relationships as commodities.

@Magenta I guess it depends on what you want out of life.😌

@Magenta those bonds last forever
Magenta · F
@SW-User If they are genuine and real, indeed.
SW-User
Yeah, unless you're both immortal then I don't see a way around that.

No expiry.
Just a Best-Before Date.

I think eventually all relationships and friendships run their course. In my experience seven years is just about the life of a friendship.
@CestManan There is some truth here !
YourMindsetMatters · 22-25, F
Yes, I do. Except the relationship you have with with yourself. How do you treat yourself? That's why it's the most important one.
Subsumedpat · 36-40, M
I have heard some people say it should then you just renew it or not. Not saying that is a good idea just saying it is what I heard.

Depends on what you mean by expiration. If you’re referring to when an individual dies, then yes, all relationships do have expiration dates. If you’re referring to friendships/relationships coming to an end due to falling apart, I disagree. My relationship with my parents will never end. Even when they are gone. Some relationships do stand the test of time. It truly depends on the individuals in said relationship.
Unlearn · 41-45, M
No. Relationships have no expiry dates...they keep coming back in one form or another.
I believe it depends on the people. If it's 2 people who expect everything to remain the same yes.

If it's 2 people who change differently and don't accept each other's changes yes

If it's 2 people who adapt and accept each other's changes and grow with them, become so intertwined with each other that even though one's red and one is green no one can tell them apart then no.

I think a lot of relationships run their course, but not all. I observe that the relationships which last the test of time have a foundation that is generally mutual, complementary and adaptive.

I do agree with commenters’ good point about no one being immortal. There is always that reality.
VirginMatchmaker · 46-50, M
It depends if you work at it or not.
IamBack · 31-35, M
Till death do us part? 🤷🏻‍♂️
Freeranger · M
I think those are based on their own singular effort and merit quite frankly. When that consistently floats above the surface, I think we can then expect a certain amount of relative peace and harmony.......or lust....or something.
ButterRobot · 51-55, M
no....i tend to think traditionally they have a function. To raise kids and take care of each other for example. If you take that approach then the expiry date is when you die.
Not every. It really depends on what you expose it to. Over time it will lose its freshness but it's still good. Harsh elements or neglect will make it go bad.
Busybee333 · 31-35, F
..It is a mutual decision. If you mutually decide to keep it alive, and act on it daily, it can last strong regardless of details.
GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M
Absolutely.

In the past it used to be death. These days it's months. Or maybe several years it lucky. But there are always exceptions.
Muthafukajones · 46-50, M
Three options are possible

One person dies
One person kills the other person
One person leaves

Inevitable ending

Have a nice day!
Yes, eventually, but only physically. Our spiritual relationships are eternal.
@PhoenixPhail That is very true
No... initially no relationship has an expiry date - that only becomes established over time.
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
No, never. But some relationships become irretrievably broken owing to poor maintenance.
Carissimi · F
It’s a fact that it does. Either a break up or death. At least one is inevitable.
SW-User
No. You meet some people for a reason, some for a season but some for lifetime.
Exception of the one with self, our Creator & parents always remain.
SW-User
No.
I know some so, and it can be true… but “every”…? No.
Forgetmeknot · 41-45
Er yeah because whatever happens we all dieing at some point.
Yes, but they may be extended upon effort.
Ontheroad · M
No, except of course for death.
in10RjFox · M
Every relationship has its seasons ..
496sbc · 36-40, M
yep mine expire before they start
Yes since we have limited lifespans.
Eddiesolds · 61-69, M
I think mine always did
GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M
@Eddiesolds It served a purpose at the time.
SW-User
Yes ..
Nothing is forever
Yes I would hope so too
TurtlePink · 22-25, F

SW-User
