Have you found your Soulmate?

Good question. I for one do not. Soulmate refers to the ultimate 'romantic' partner. A love interest.

 

I'm not too fond of using the word soulmates either.

 

Well, I think that most of us have more than one "soul mate", and by that I mean a person who you have good chemistry with and who you can be in a successful relationship with (I mean a romantic relationship, but there is something to be said for close friendships as well). I guess what I am really trying to say is that I don't think that there is one and only one partner for any given person. There are a lot of people who could be good for you, at least at a point in time.

Your ex-lover being an example, potentially. It is extra frustrating when you connect with someone but they have some fatal flaw that prevents a deeper or longer lasting connection.

 

I think that's being realistic. It's likely that you're compatible with any number of people really. For me, it all depends on how much I'm willing to compromise my standards.

 

Mmm, it's a silly word, but it was the one that was being used in this thread, so I am going to use it for lack of a better term. I think the implications of soul mate are almost divine in nature. As if there was some higher power assigning us partners, or even assuming that we have a soul, or that our soul is better off with another person. Some people are better alone.

 

yeah. I don't believe in fate. I'm on the fence with love at first sight...

 

I've definitely found someone that I need to work out a lot of karma with.

It's bad - really heavy shit that he has a problem with.

I think I'm just a target or facilitator. I don't think he's going to get better in this cycle. I'm pretty sure he is getting worse and worse.

I use to think that I wanted to spend eternity with him. Now, the quicker we are separated, the better.

I can't fix him and I don't want to try ever again.

It's really sad.

 

Is this your husband or someone else, if you don't mind my asking?

 

Nope. c:
I don't believe in such a concept though. I think we just find someone that we get along with pretty well and put some magical meaning behind it. Just my opinion.

 

It is my husband.

 

Aww. Aerianne I'm sorry to hear that.

You can do it. Do it how you want. Good luck.

 

I get where you're coming from @YouFreeMe

I also sometimes use similar terminology just for the sake of the thread or conversation as well.

 

I don't believe in single soul mates for every person. That's just too unobtainable. I do believe there are several potential soul mates for everyone, but you have to work at it. You don't just get a storybook romance, happy relationships take effort. I do believe I've found one though.

I've been with her for 5 years now, and I've never made it this far in any relationship without being miserable, bored, or wanting to cheat. Since I'm still happy, I figure I'm doing the right things with the right person for me.

 

Me too, but that doesn't mean that rare someone (or better said: one of those rare someones) we get along with can be adequately called a soulmate. It's not THE soulmate as in the only one possible, but its simply a soulmate, one you can intrisically connect with and love.

 

I didn't say you can't call them a soulmate? I just don't use the term nor believe in it.
It's just my opinion and as we all know that doesn't matter much. c:

 

Yes, of course you didn't! That's not my point. My point is that the term soulmate is far from always ment as something magical. So when you say 'i don't believe in something with magical meaning behind it' I felt like pointing out a significant amount of people who use the term don't connect a magical meaning to it either

Btw: your opinion matters just as much as the next person's :-D

 

Surely. I'm just saying that like a lot of people I don't put a magical meaning behind the term. xD

It doesn't in my opinion but thanks, Asmodean. c:

 

Which means, not at all

 

Arguable. Might depend on the details and subject matter among other things.
