I’m imagining an interview:

– How long have the two of you been together?

– I don’t know. Let me check. Hm... My log tells me, it must be close to two thousand years.

– Wow! You must be one of the oldest couples around! Did you meet before the great Stretching?

– Yeah, we were kids, then. Teenager.

– What was it like, back then?

– I don’t remember. Love fades away like everything else: How old are you? Do you remember your childhood without looking at your log? All that matters is what we have right now, and our immediate past. Maybe ten or twenty years back.

I guess that’s true. Only historians and recreators will care.
