The concept of romantic love I believe is dead. "It's dead, Jim!!!"
After so many years of observation I have determined that overall it just doesn't work out. I have so many friends going through a divorce or seperation and the ones that are still together are silently miserable. Male and female friends, all suffering through this ideal of the "one true soul-mate".
To tell someone that their soul-mate is out there is to me akin to saying "God loves you", "Santa Claus is coming to town", "Here comes Peter Cottontail", "Good will always prevail over evil", etc. The only relationships I see standing the test of time is where one is decidedly the dominant and the other is the submissive (in general, not sexually speaking) and both are cool with that. Still, I find that to be a fucked up relationship whether the two are happy about it or not. I personally cannot see how someone is happy being a door-mat.
Hence, I am one jaded mother-fucker.
I no longer believe.

I'm almost with you. I still have this fucked up idea about how things 'should' be though, and i fight to preserve it = alot of shit and suffering.
It's all a learning curve,,,,,

There's nothing wrong with believing that romantic love is dead. I feel the same way. I make it a point however to remember that it's only a belief, and not necessarily true, certainly subject to change, and probably not applicable to everyone (in other words, subjective).
I don't think that the only ones that stand the test of time are the dominant/submissive ones. (They call those complementary, I think.) I think the ones that work are the real ones. Where expectations are realistic and there is ample forgiveness and honest communication. Or maybe the ones where neither partner necessarily wants or needs anything from the other. I don't know, now I'm starting to ramble.
Peace.

I don't think dominant/submissive relationships are about treating the other person like a doormat. It is simply a way for an indicisive person to put all their trust in their partner, and up to the dominant partner to make the best for the both of them. People in cultures througout history have based their relationships this way. Many people still do. It is possible to be dominant and still do what's best for the family.

i like to believe that it exists, though i have yet to come in contact with it so i cant say for sure that it does. i have given up on looking for it, because if it does exist i think i may be too stupid to find it. if it finds me then great, but im done with the hunt.

I wouldn't have believed it unlil I saw it myself...I have met my soul mate(we both knew it from basically the moment we met) and we are madly in love...I am feeling a permanent euphoria of love right now(I'm sure it will level out in time but dosen't seem be coming anytime soon)
we are so perfect for each other in every possible way its rediculous...I never would have believed this were possible had I not found her

when, if, I find her, we're moving to a remote island where the corruption of modern society will not taint our relationship. ;p
