lengthiness
Going on forever
Lengthiness is the quality of being too long or drawn out.
It carries a negative connotation—something with lengthiness isn't just long, it's longer than it should be: The lengthiness of his speeches tested everyone's patience.
The word itself is somewhat lengthy; *length* often works better.
