there are many many soulmates among the 7 Billion people currently on earth. if one were only really compatible with 1% there could still be 70 million soulmates just for them!

laugh

only the individuals involved can really decide if their marriage/relationship was a mistake and if their family would be better off calling it quits. certainly there are often situations in which divorce is the best answer. but often it is not.

laugh


You know 70 million is still a shot in the dark, right? The population of the United States alone is around 15 million, add in the population of Canada, and the UK...and you roughly have half of 70 million. A lot of water to waded for something that is ultimately just a figment of one's imagination...


15 million...which US are you talking about? there's 300 million....ya goose! We have a population of 30 million here in Australia.


Dammit, I still have the figure for the number of Mexican immigrants that were allowed to stay in my head...you're right it is 300 million. I was only about 20 million off.laugh laugh


Geeeeeeezuz!!!!!!! You're maths is great today...try 285 million off....

LMAO!!!!!!!

Pardon me for being a killjoy, but there is no such thing as a "soulmate". It just doesn't exist. "Passion-mate" is more like it.

Sometimes life surprises us...what if there really were more than one person out there for you? One was more of a good friend or a good husband and the other was the sweetest lover who just made you tingle all over when he touched you or even looked at you? Sometimes you have to take a step back and wonder...

But I do agree with SilverCamaroGirl and I am very sorry that her soulmate did not turn out like it should have. Sometimes it isn't what it looks like, but other times it is. Both are definitely something to consider.


Why would you be with "a good friend or a good husband" instead of being with one you truly loved and admired? Then, how would you know that "the other was the sweetest lover who just made you tingle all over when he touched you"?

I think that many are capable of having a soulmate, some aren't. I know I had one and blew it...
Will I ever have another within my reach,,, I do not know...

Bah hahahaha!!! I was wondering when someone noticed that..... to answer the question....


by being unfaithful....


so of course EVERYONE would answer for the partner, NOT the soulmate...wouldn't they?

:heart: If you were married with a family and content, even happy, but then you met your soul mate and you knew they were your soul mate, what would you do? Would you leave the life you already had or would you stay, knowing there was something better out there for you? :heart:
(If curious about this topic you should see the movie "The Bridges Of Madison County" with Meryl Streep & Clint Eastwood...it will break your heart brokenheart)


I believe in the word, "commitment".

The other was the sweetest lover? That's called cheating to me.

It is not easy to be open minded when you have a partner... and a family... and you discover that a new friend has you all a flutter... and glowing.... and then ask who is it that you choose?

So many of us here have been on the receiving end of the choices made.... as in unfaithful partners.... 'choosing their soulmates'...so it can appear to be a painful question you are asking.

Not for me... but for many here, that is the case.

It was just a question that we gave "just our answers".. No one passed judgment....

I guess we are closed minded b/c we don't agree with you and jump on the "yay, let me leave my family and husband and throw everything away for a fling"... had we all jumped on your bandwagon and agreed rather than have our own values and ethics that differ from yours, we would have been awesome open minded people I guess... huh

Maybe we're more openminded than you think?
There is more to life than just a fleeting "tingling" now and then. As I've gotten older, I've decided to relish trusting someone and enjoying the "whole picture".
When it's weighed against something that is an unknown "whole picture", the choice becomes more obvious....

...that did happen to me,i was with my girlfriend and we had a little boy,the girl i always thought would be perfect for me,wanted me to come over,i knew what she really wanted,but my morals and obligations won over,my girlfriend and i have been broken up for six years now and i..am raising my son on my own....

...would i have done any different had i known this..no,because unlike the majority of people i have known ..i have morals ..

..but i have seen those who are quick to leave because they think they can do better..and for the most....they wind up losing all the way around....live and learn..jmo..smokin

Maybe if you all knew what I was even asking you'd actually understand. I wasn't asking you to give up your recent family for something new. I was asking you to consider the fact that what if there was more than one person out there for you. I have been hurt more than any of you could possibly imagine and it was just a topic I threw out there, hoping to get people to open their minds to the "what ifs?" It wasn't an easy question, no. It deserved thought. But it also deserved an open-minded answer instead of, "well my soulmate would be the man I'm with" or "why would I even consider leaving my family" or "wouldn't that be cheating"? Can't you think outside the box for one single moment? Yes, you'll get hurt. Yes, we've all been hurt. But what if all of that hurt were worth it in the end? And then again, what if it wasn't? I was just trying to get opinions on a topic without trying to make it shallow. That's all. huh

You received opinions...
It appears that they were not to your liking...
