Do you believe in SOULMATES?

[Ninjainpajamas]

It's extremely hard to believe in a lot of things when you are being objective and not letting your own imagination and emotions run wild with your own perception of the world...created and tailored just for you with no justification..I mean that's a nice way to live for some.

 

However, based on what I've seen a lot of people go through and the people who claim they've met their "soulmate" only to not end up with them later, and then they conveniently say they met another one, and then another, and then another...I mean c'mon, all these people on this planet and you just happen to be dating the "one" or "soulmate"...I have a hard time blowing smoke up me own arse these days with that....especially when you see who people are calling their soulmates and what kind of relationship they are in....definitely can't take anyone's word on it.

 

I see people use the term "soulmate" very loosely, and with anyone they feel elevated emotions with, they want to put that label on it to make it somewhat "special"....better and more in-depth than the rest....that just seems like a desire to believe that whatever is occurring is more profound than it actually is.

 

I do believe in love, and a big part of me is a hopeless romantic that definitely believes on the unexplained and illogical...however my heart/gut tells me a lot of what I see people dabbling with is just based on their own issues, insecurities and desire to be with someone...almost at any stake, they want this excuse to drag on any relationship or person they are interested in because they don't want to be alone or lose them.

 

So I definitely have to put my "romantic" hat in the closet when on the forums...just based on reading LS so often and giving advice, most of my advice is skewed a certain way because I definitely don't see the love and romance in these interactions...I just see human nature, people learning and trying to fix themselves (if they're lucky enough to be aware of that they are the problem) and a desire to fill that void within themselves with someone else, old issues and feelings that truly have nothing to do with a romantic partner....so often times I have to pull away just to remember what I believe in.

I second what Ninja said.

 

As for me, I don't beleive in soulmates, but I do believe it is possible to have a deep, soulful relationship with someone.

 

Here's a song I particularly like:

Nope.

 

I believed in soulmates when I got married at the tender age of 20 - but found my husband having sex with men (when I came home early from work one day) at the tender age of 24.

 

Since then, I have had three long-term relationships and now a fourth that will result in a second marriage in my 49th year.

 

In the past thirty years, I have learned that it is possible to love wholly, completely, and fully and feel as though the person you are with is "the one" for you that will complete you.

 

The soul - like the heart - is a resilient and strong factor that loves, hates, hurts, and heals. You can love often and fully and believe that each person touches your soul...

 

Nicely said.

I don't believe in souls. But I do believe in ideal matches where people can love without fighting periodically. I hope I experience that some day.

 

Hope you do too, and you will

[KoKo0]

This.

 

If the right person comes along you just recognize it.

 

But you also have to distinguish between infatuation and this special feeling. Not many people know this feeling because it rarely happens. But if it happens, you just know it.

 

It's like an inner bond which unites forever. The two people fit together like 2 pieces of a puzzle.

 

Things that were difficult with others are easy with that person.

 

You have the same wavelength and similar interests.

 

And it never gets boring, even after the initial stages of infatuation.

 

You know it just, I can't explain it otherwise.

 

It just fits.

 

:love:

 

 

Exactly how I feel about it, liking your post!

[KoKo0]

Yes I do believe in soulmates.

 

Any woman who would be willing to have a threesome with me every year as a Birthday gift, is my soulmate.

 

This made me laugh, typical guy answer, hehe

[KoKo0]

Yes, seven billion people on this planet and there is exactly ONE person who is your soul mate. Sure hope you aren't born in US and your soul mate born in China, that would suck wouldn't it?

 

Yeah it would

[Eternal Sunshine]

Yes, I believe that there are soul mates and that I haven't yet met mine.

 

I am trying to logically convince myself that this is BS but I can't help feeling the way I do

[Eternal Sunshine]

P.S. that's probably because I am yet to meet MrCastle :-O
