I have no concept of relationship permanence

I used to have it, way back in my naive days.

Relationship after relationship, it slowly eroded away.

When i married my husband, I knew then that the marriage was not going to be forever. I knew there would be an end. I didn't know how or when, only that it would come.

The next longest relationship, I said almost before it started, "This isn't forever." It lasted 7 years then ended.

I watch romance movies where the couples say each other is their's. The assurity in which they proclaim is it thick with confidence. There is no question who their person is.

I have never had this feeling with anyone in my life. At least, not for a very long while. 38 years at least, when i was deep in love with my first boyfriend. Since then, I have never felt that way about another.

I always have wanted to have a relationship that I feel that deepest connection to be able to say without any doubt that person was mine. My person. I want to know what that feels like. To never wonder when the end is coming, knowing that it isn't.

I hear you, i once felt for someone, but she never was for. Married somone on intelectual bassis and becuase she appeared to the be smartest, one of the most intelligent woman, super analytical and critical, book smart, in many ways all social and religiousi thought great woman to be a mom, amazing heart, and prett, when something had started lack or limited emotional intelligence shattered it and lived a 15yrs of loveless marriage only for kids...
