Don't expect Cameron Diaz to walk down the aisle anytime soon.

Diaz, who is rumored to be dating New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez, is not sure she believes in lifelong love, according to a U.K. report.

"Have someone for five years and another person for another five years... Life is long and lucky and yes, love might last forever, but you don't always live with the person you love forever," she reportedly told UK's Stylist magazine.

"Who would want to be with the same person for 80 years? Why not break it up a little bit?" she says.

Cameron, 37, also says the days of finding "the one" upon high school graduation and spending your life with that person are over.

"I think the big misconception in our society is that we're supposed to meet the one when we're 18 and we're supposed to get married to them and love them for the rest of our lives. Bulls**t."

Cameron has a good point: It is possible to have more than one love in your life. And even if a marriage doesn't last, it doesn't mean there wasn't a lot of love there.

That said, we're hoping old-fashioned monogamy works out for us.

    I believe that lasting love takes work, forgiveness, communication and it is a choice we nake every single day. Hollyweird is so full of fantasy, she may have gotten movie love mixed up with actual love, and, to be truthful, NOTHING in hollyweird is permanent or long lasting. Too many temptations, too much money and power, too many distractions and too many folks willing to whore around. Sadly, they are influencing the rest of America to the same bad behaviours.

    Yes, I do. I've always said, "I'm having this wild affair...with my husband!" He will be forever my boyfriend and I don't feel like the "wife" . I feel like his girlfriend. And this is two kids later.

    I'll be honest... I don't really.. I mean, I've loved many, but I think after a while you just get bored, and I can't stand the thought of staying with the sameee person for years and years... Bleh D: haha but I'm happy for anyone that does :)

    But hard to come by these days. What with the Internet, you can meet a lot of people, which makes it hard to keep a marriage, let alone a relationship.

    22 years married, so the answer is yes. Unfortunately not through my wifes eyes. She left my daughter and I 10 months ago with her new girlfriend and boyfriend. Life does go on with or without her.

    There should be an undecided option.

    I honestly don't know. I've seen many STORIES about people who have lived happily together their whole lives, and have met some married couples that SEEM happy...but I've seen even more relationships/marriages fall apart. The only marriage I know of first-hand that lasted was between my grandparents, and their union seemed very forced and unhappy.

    So...I don't know.

    Just remember, that first rush of love and excitement-THAT maybe temporary. BUT the deeper, longer lasting and meaningful love comes during those times you accept each others differences, and help thru each others illnesses. Weathering the storms and the highs and lows but making the daily commitment to making it all work THAT is what builds a lifelong love.

    Yes, and I'd LOVE to believe in that undoubtedly. But I've seen so many weather the storms, and suffer highs and lows, and still be incredibly unhappy with each other, to the point where it's so obvious they don't love each other. You can accept people and your situation, and even handle the blows...but that doesn't necessarily mean you're in love with who you're with.

    Nope, not for me anyways. I honestly can't see myself loving someone that long, or, if I could, I can't see them loving me that long. I am too obnoxious and nitpicky, and annoyance would kick in. I can't see myself growing old with someone, except for my best friends.

    Yes. As long as both are committed to the relationship and are willing to sacrifice for the other then yes. Then again, if you're not willing to sacrifice, then it's not really love, is it?

    Lifelong love exists, but sometimes, it doesn't coexist in the same household. That doesn't make it any less real.
