why does love never last?

Answer 1

it's lust that doesn't last. true love will span beyond a lifetime. when the lust is gone, if there was never any real love behind it, then nothing remains...and you feel "love" has gone.

Answer 2

In the early days of a relationship lust rules and when the dust settles many people find they don’t really like the person to whom they were so intensely physically attracted. When this happens the relationship abruptly ends and leaves people wondering where the love went. But love is more than a physical longing, although physical attraction is definitely a key ingredient in any romantic relationship, and if all you have between you is attraction you’re not really in love. Really loving another person takes time, it takes perseverance and it can’t be based on physical attraction alone. Until you know somebody well you can’t really be in love.

Answer 3

Because people, like all things, change.

Call it grow, evolve, mature, expand, whatever - as we change, we are no longer the ones that our sweethearts fell in love with, nor are we that to them either.

If one is extremely fortunate, the growth paths may continue forward with each other, rather than away form each other, but even in that case, the result is more likely to be something other than love. Perhaps respect, admiration, or friendship.

In the other case, it may be boredom, dis-admiration or simply hostility.

While sad, it is probably true that more relationships stay together because of factors such as children and economic necessity moreso than romance.

Answer 4

Love is just a bunch of chemical reactions and electrical triggers in the brain, this is like fear or any other human emotion none last all the time.

Answer 5

Love is a choice not a feeling. Love lasts when you choose it to last. Sometimes it is damn hard work, but the long run is what you aim for.

Answer 6

This is all to do with what Budhism has to say. If you understand the word "impermanance: as define below, you will understand why Love does not last.
___________________________________________________
Impermanence (Sanskrit: अिनत्य anitya; Pāli अिनच्च anicca; Tibetan: mi rtag pa; Chinese: 無常 wúcháng; Japanese: 無常 mujō) is one of the essential doctrines or the three marks of Buddhism. According to it, everything is constantly in flux. This changing flux excludes nothing -- not even planets, stars or gods. This is embodied in human life in the aging process and the cycle of birth and rebirth (samsara), and in any experience of loss; because things are impermanent, attachment to them is futile, and leads to suffering. The only true end of anicca is Nirvana. Nirvana is the one Reality which knows of no change, decay or death. In the Mahayana Mahaparinirvana Sutra, all compounded, constructed things and states are said to be "impermanent" - but to say the same of Nirvana and the Buddha (the personalisation of Nirvana) is to commit a gross error in understanding and to fall into harmful misperception of Truth (as discussed in the Mahaparinirvana Sutra).

Answer 8

worldly love is limited because it is always
based on expectation... I love you so long
as you fullfil certain obligations - that is not
true love. True selfless love is almost gone
from the planet, but I know someone who
has it and gives it to millions around the
world...
