  • Will Some People Never Find "Happily Ever After"?

    I was reading yesterday that Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo broke up. First of all, I don't really care for Jessica Simpson or her music, but I couldn't help feeling sorry for her. She just can't seem to find love and make it last. From Nick Lachey to John Mayer to Tony Romo, and whoever else has been between.

    Are some of us just destined to always be going from relationship to relationship? Jennifer Lopez is another example. I believe she's already been married three times, and had several relationships that didn't make it to the altar. But aside from celebrities who have a hard time with relationships anyway, do you think that happy ever after with that one person for the rest of your life just isn't in the card for some of us?

    Sooner or later, you will find the person you'll spend the rest of your life with. Even if you're 50 and working 24/7, you'll find that person.

    Well, with them, I really wonder what they based thier marriages off of, and jessica simpson might be happier if she didnt go with someone as famous as she does. Some people choose not to find "Happiliy ever after", others dont understand it or why, some people dont want it and personally I dont believe in "Happily ever after"... problems are what mold us into what we are. Without the bad, we dont appreciate the good.

    I think that (this is only my opinion) people who weren't shown how to have a loving, lasting relationship when they were children have a more difficult time sustaining a loving, lasting relationship as an adult.  We are shaped by the examples set for us.    And by lasting and loving, I mean a mother figure and a father figure who show love to each other and are not shy that they are in love and happy.  A stable home is what I'm trying to say.

    I believe that there's always someone for each and every one of us but sometimes we don't always get the chance to meet them because of the choices we might make in our life.

    I wouldn't call it "Happily Ever After" but I believe there is someone for everyone even if they trip and fall a couple of times before they get there.  Or a few, they just choose to not spend the rest of their life with someone.  They rather go door to door and just be happy for the moment while it lasts.

     I can't help but think being a celebrity has hindered their chances of finding someone they can be with for at least most of their lives. But in any case, I like to think there's someone for everyone.
  • coldfaceblush@xanga

    I think that sometimes, you just don't get to be with someone. some people die alone, for different reasons.

  • XxRainyxMondayxX@xanga

    There's no such thing as "Happily Ever After".  Life doesn't work like that.
  • JessxMaxine@xanga

    i'd like to think there is someone for everyone. but i also think that not everyone gets to be with that someone and they just end up settling.

    Everything is by chance.


    And "happily ever after" is bullshit.
  • ordinary_gir1@xanga

    isnt jennifer lopez still married with children?!
    but really. Life doesnt work the way fairytales do.

    Some people may never find their "prince" or "princess" for them.

  • BrianHa@xanga

    I used to believe there was someone for everyone but if thats the case myself and some others got a raw deal.   I let my true love walk away like and idiot or  I thought she was my true love, so I hope that we can be more than one perfect match if not um.................
  • DeathzDezign@xanga

    @BrianHa@xanga - haha i'd have to agree with you.

    love...for me...doesnt come around often, but when it does it's something special, and yet again I'm having a hard time finding it. I think eventually the right person will come along. you just cant go looking for it, somehow it will find you.
  • alterEGGO@xanga

    people think there is a happily ever after without the work. I know many people that have been married for over 50 years....their secret is....it takes work work work and when you think you have given your 50% remember you need to give 1005 of yourself.
  • SpeckledPlum@xanga

    I honestly believe that some people do not have the personality or values to sustain a long lasting and happy relationship. Some people don't have the capacity to really, truly love somebody else. Some people are just too mean for others to tolerate. Some people would rather do drugs and watch TV all day then work on a relationship. 


    Of course, of course, of course there will always be those who won't have a "happily ever after." In fact, I don't think many of us really do these days. 
  • Lilyofdavalley84@xanga

    @XDaemonessX@xanga -  that's such a great observation bc i came from a single parent household and i think it's difficult for me tho i try.



    i think yea, some ppl sabotage themselves...but some ppl def base their relationships off of the wrong things. 



    the odds are ppl are going to date a lot of ppl and most ppl you date it isn't going to work with bc hopefully you will only marry one person in the end.



    but we also have to face reality and get away from myths and fairy tales, yea not everyone might be lucky enough to find the 'one' to spend the rest of their life with...and sometimes we find many diff 'ones' for diff times in our lives.
  • joycemiles@xanga

    I like thinking that there is someone out there that would be compatible for others.

  • Wait_by_Moonlight@xanga

    Just goes to show you that these gorgeous celebrities go through the same struggles the rest of us do.  Prettiness has nothing to do with how well relationships will work out.  Sometimes it's work that keeps it together.  Sometimes it's luck.  And sometimes, no matter what else you've got going for you, it just doesn't work.  Que sera, sera.
  • tears_foraffairs@xanga

    For many different reasons, there will be people who do not find a romance in their lifetime. It's unfair to generalize all of these people. It's not necessarily a lack of desire, lack of personality, looks, etc. For some people, it just does not happen.

  • xsteph_ox@xanga

    I'm so scared this is gonna be me!!!
  • dragon_king@xanga

    I've thought about this recently and I am having second thoughts about getting married someday. With the $100,000+ debt I'll be in because of medical school and grad school I don't know if I'd wanna go through a marriage with a woman while I'm paying back all those loans (unless by some divine miracle I can have those loans forgiven, but that would be a once-in-a-lifetime miracle). But then again I could get really really lucky and marry a girl who has a great career with very little debt and makes $100,000+ a year. And FYI, most doctors make between $150,000 and up to $600,000+ a year, but that all depends on what type of doctor you become (surgeons make at least $200,000 a year-neurosurgeons make at least $300,000+-and that's because it takes FOREVER to become either one). 
  • KrazeeKunoichi009@xanga

    There's no such thing.

    That's probably one of the reasons most marriages fail, women believe that once they get married, that's it's just going to be the ending of a beautiful fairy tale. That's blowing a rainbow out of my ass. People set standards ridiculously high for marriage that it isn't what they expected. What? You're married now everything's supposed to be perfect?!
    Sure, there are couples that make it "work", just enough to tolerate seeing each other everyday, but "happily ever after"?

    Load of crap. I don't think people were meant to "mate for life", human beings are simply too complicated and are always in a state of flux, they'll eventually seek someone new.

  • nolan_kun@xanga

    Definitely.

    I don't think I'll ever be conventional.  I realize this is an active choice to make, but I'd rather just wander from woman to woman and own stuff that is mine, and mine solely rather than intertwine lives with somebody else.  It's not happily ever after in the sense of the slogan, but its definitely "after."  To die alone, whatever... death is not exactly something I envisioned sharing anyway.
  • taaru@xanga

    I'm afraid I'll be one of those that will never find someone to love with all my heart, and be in a marriage with, my whole life. 
  • mewithoutu77@xanga

    i believe eventually we'll all find happily ever after but not in the disney princess way.  relationships are just complicated in general, they take a lot of work to make a relationship successful.  i've always believed that there's always someone out there that was meant to be with me, i just have to be patient enough for that person.
