[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’ve been married 36 years and I still believe in it. All I know is that for it to last this long you really have to work at it and by it I don’t just mean sex though that is certainly part of it. If something were to happen to my husband I don’t think I’d be looking for love again, maybe just companionship. Trying to replicate the love I have now feels so out of reach that I’d likely be disappointed. [/quote]

See, but you have no idea what it's like when the love of your life betrays you, like mine did to me.  It shatters your view of everything you hold precious, and makes you distrust the idea of love itself.  
And false that "for it to last this long you really have to work at it".  Nope, you alone can't do it.  BOTH spouses have to work at it every day.  There's a reason they say, "It takes 2 people to marry, but only 1 to divorce"
I believed like you if my husband died, I would never want to find love again.  But not, he has soiled "love" so much, that I do want to find real love, so that I didn't live my whole life in a lie.[/quote]
