Relationships Do you think you’re really with your soulmate?

[Why did you]

Most of us are in relationships ,we have a wife, husband, girlfriend, or boyfriend ,and we might even feel that we’ve found “the one.”

But what if you had the chance to meet every single person on Earth?
To really know them ,their personality, values, sense of humor, chemistry, everything.
Would you still pick your current partner?
Is it possible that most of us aren’t actually with the person who’s the best match for us, simply because we’ll never meet all the people who could be?

It makes me wonder if “soulmates” truly exist ,or if love is more about timing, proximity, and building something meaningful with whoever life happens to put in front of us.
What do you think?
Are we with our soulmate ,or just someone who fit into our lives at the right time?

I think this is correct.

The notion of soul mates is kind of childish. A relationship, after the initial honeymoon period wears off, is going to take a lot of work to maintain.

Is there someone out there that would be less work than my wife? Probably. But I chose her and she chose me.

Life's not a fairy tale. Sometimes you gotta just decide who you're gonna love, because nobody gives you the butterflies anymore.

She said,

Yes I am..

Since I am reasonably sure my wifey doesn't have a sherdog account...

Nah. I don't believe in that fairytale.

We have a great marriage because we make it a great marriage.

I would be pretty confident betting either one of us would have likely wound up in a great marriage even if not with eachother.


"Soulmate" is a bullshit excuse for people who can't succeed in their own relationships and refuse to acknowledge THEY are part of the problem. Easier to say you are still looking for your soul mate than admit you are an annoying cunt that no one would want to cohabitate with for the rest of their life.

Obviously.

Just amazing coincidence that that one person out of 8 billion happened to go to the same school/same university/ same job/ same bar as I do.

And for it to happen 4 times in 8 years?

What are the chances?

Anyone who has been married for decades will tell you there's no secret to it except hard work. It's a nice thought that there's someone in the world that aligns so well with you that you'd be blissful forever, but it's not reality. If there really was someone out there who shared all my interests and opinions and so on, I wouldn't need them; I've already got ME. And even if we did match up perfectly, it's human nature to become bored with the familiar. The person who you think is your soulmate when you're 20 is not going to generate the same feelings in you when you're 40 and have been married for 20 years.

That being said, there's obviously social, financial, and emotional value in finding someone to spend your life with, and you can certainly grow close enough to that person that it's as though you're almost the same entity - you each know each other as well as, or better than, you know yourself. But that's not a soulmate; that's just someone who's been in your life for years and years.

If I could be born again into my current life all over, I would still seek out my current wife. I think she’s the best match possible. I met her when I was 31. It took me that long to find a good match.

 

[Versez]

In still trying to find her. Wish me luck sherbros

Coming up on 28 yrs of marriage.

Yep, we were just destined to be together.

 

[Long Dark Blues]

No.

 

[SurferH2O]

God loves me... yes.

She's always been amazing. I clearly out-kicked my coverage.

 

[Kardashians]

I’m sure the fellas will get a kick out of this, but I believe my soul mate was my cat Fiddy. I don’t think soul mates have to be a romantic connection, doesn’t even have to be shared between humans.

I don’t look for a soulmate tho.

I can tell you one "secret" or really just a little nugget of observation.


It is a bazillion times harder to put the train back on the tracks than it is to just keep it on the tracks the whole time.

The more you drift the harder it is to get back to center.

Also don't stop fucking. Dead bedroom = life support marriage
