<human>: Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?

I beginning to think that hardly anyone in this world is truly in love.  I know one couple that really seems to love each other but, for everyone else, it just seems like they're in it for convenience sake.  

Personally, I'm not very good at relationships.  I was madly in love once.  Most of my friends didn't approve of the match.  He didn't have a great job, he liked to spend a lot of time playing video games, and people would tell me that he wasn't that attractive.  I didn't care.  I would have sat next to him on the couch, watching him play video games all day if I could have.  It would have been bliss. 

When he broke up with me, I decided to take a good look around at my friend's relationships and they all seemed to be based on something other than love.  They were more concerned with the outward attributes of their significant other.  They would tell me things that their significant others would do, such as "He's a doctor", "He's a lawyer", "He goes to baseball games" and never anything real about their significant other.  Then they bitch because he doesn't like to take out the trash or he expects to much of them.  The bitching takes up so much time and it's so pointless.  I've told multiple people who complain constantly to just break up with the guy if they can't actually stand being around him, but that seems to be universally frowned upon.

Recently, I was with someone that I didn't love but I thought about saying "I love you" because it seemed like the right thing to say after a while and I figured that he was as good as anything I was going to get since my former video game loving boyfriend dumped me.  I even figured that we could stay together a while and it would be okay.  It wouldn't be the greatest and I'd probably never really love him, but it would be okay.  

So my question is whether or not this is normal.  Is the basis of most successful relationships merely tolerance and convenience or is love more common than my cynical ass imagines it to be?
<bot>: Do you think most people in relationships are really in love or do you think that they simply stay in their relationships because it's easy?
