never-ending
Going on forever
Never-ending describes something that continues indefinitely or seems to have no conclusion: a never-ending stream of complaints, the never-ending search for meaning.
The word often carries a note of weariness or exasperation—what feels never-ending may simply be prolonged beyond patience: The meeting felt never-ending.
Also spelled as one word: neverending.
