RE: Marriage Poll
No relationships last forever. Because there's this thing called...death lol.

Some can last really long though. Or till death....and if you can have a long meaningful relationship, why not? If you're in love enough.

It doesn't have to be monogamistic to be meaningful though of course. It's possible to love more than one person....because...some people do.

But that is the common way anyway...and there's nothing from with it.

'Marriage' is superficial nonsense that has nothing to do with an actual relationship though. It doesn't give you any special powers lol. You can have a loving relationship without it. It's just a common expression of love - that is all.

And I am against commitment because it's a form of fear and attachment.

To care though without being 'attached' I think one way of looking at it is to compartmentalize your emotions so you can be mentally attached but - also detached at the same time - so you can love but not fear loss. And so you can love people whether they're specifically 'with you' or not.

I'm getting better and better at this more recently I think Wink
