The Hollywood star married eight times, so her grand gestures of love obviously didn't last. Have you had good love go bad?
It was a declaration of undying love as strong as any. "I've never known this kind of love before, it's so perfect and mature," wrote the 17-year-old Elizabeth Taylor to her then fiance, the 28-year-old William Pawley, in a series of 60 love letters now to be auctioned off in May. "I've never loved anyone in my life before one-third as much as I love you, and I never will." But despite the power of the sentiment it was not to last, with the engagement ending after less than a year.
Pawley was, of course, not the last man to suffer from Taylor's serial monogamy, with the Hollywood star marrying eight times in her life. Nor was he the first in any relationship to have believed the grand gestures of a lover: from Jane Austen's Willoughby and Dashwood to Katie Price and Peter Andre, who recorded their own version of Endless Love before their very public break-up, the history of romance is often one of broken promises.
When have you believed the words of your lover only to be let down at a later date? Have you ever made such grand statements and retracted them to the sound of a broken heart? Is it a case of the folly of young love, or have instances such as this happened to you throughout your romantic life?
