Would you have lasted 20 years?

<< < (8/9) > >>

Rayn:
Yes, I would have.

Momof2:
I now know I would have lasted that long.  I had a dream about them last night.  First time I have ever had a dream about them.  I think about them constantly but never dreams.  It seemed so real.  When I woke up I wanted to go back to sleep to be with them again. 

I used to dream about my sister that died alot.  Not so much anymore.  When I do, it is like she is still alive. Even after I wake up, I have to remind myself that she is gone.  Thank God for dreams.   

Their love was so unusual and strong and I think anyone that expreriences just a taste of it would hold on. 

Noviani:
I would have lasted 20 years, if i felt that he was the love of my life.

off course with endless effort to get the person stay with me permanently like jack did, but i guess more often.

Kd5000:
No.  I think that person would always occupy a warm and fuzzy place in my heart, but eventually it would just become too unbearable. A few weeks a year wouldn't cut it after 5 years at the most.   I'm not the needy type, but I'd like the person to be there to share the triumphs and tragedies of our lives.

If the question was, do you think it's plausible that Jack and Ennis would still be getting together and have strong feelings for each other over a 20 year time period, I would say most definately.  They were in a unique situation, had forged a relationship as teenagers (well 19 is still a teenager), Jack dreamed that eventually Ennis would give in and Ennis loved Jack to much to ever verbalized "Jack I can't give you what you want, a life together, maybe you should  ..."

I believe that it would of been too unbearable for me to last twenty years waiting and waiting .  When I'm in love I need to see them all the time. Time and things around me are out of whack if they are not part of it.   I once had an affair with a married man.  Years back.  It almost killed me when he went home to his wife. The thoughts of him sleeping with her at night kept me up all night long.    The only time I could sleep was when I knew he was out of that bed and out of that house at work.    I know that's pretty sick.  I have paid royally for that mistake believe me.  I still pray 15 years later that God will forgive me for being so selfish.

Bottom line is this. I have grown allot since then.  And I would never go through that again for a million dollars. I still feel a pang in my heart when I hear his name. But life is so short and way too precious to live so many days so unhappy and tortured. You can't buy that time back.   If they are not available at the time you meet them. chances are they wont be at the time you need  them either. So my new motto now is..."either shit or get off the pot!"

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
