Do you believe in soulmates?

[Sheree Bobbins]

Yes, I believe in soulmates.

 

[CourtasanSatine]

I do and I'm dating my soulmate.I think it was fate we found each other after losing touch for 3 years

 

[epcotfan]

No. I do not believe in soul mates. I think people are capable of loving many others. I think it is sheer luck if you find someone truly compatible.

 

[hockeymom7691]

I believe and I'm still waiting for mine to come along!!

until 2 years ago I'd have said a definite no. I was married to a man Id known from school, for 18 years. I wasnt happy but thought that was it...until I met and fell in love with a fellow UK Dis-er We got married last year and we both truly believe we are soul mates. He says he always knew something was missing...and he's now found me...

 

[Kitty 34]

Yes I believe there are soulmates.

 

[Serena]

I believe we can love, really love, more than one person. And the same thing for soul mates. I believe soulmates are a deeper connection, and to find a partner that is both would be wonderful.
I was married 22 years to someone that was not my soulmate and for a long time my marriage worked.

I've known people that I seem to have a connection with and it's a good feeling.

Maybe someday I'll meet someone special, but right now, I'm doubting it.

I believe you can find a soulmate but I think it may or may not be the peron you fall in love with. I believe a soulmate is some who completely understands you and you them. It is the person who you can not speak to for a year or more but that when you finally do see each other again it's like you had never lost touch b/c you just have such a strong connection. I think it coud be the person you love or it could be a friend who just gets you and excepts who you are no matter what. I hope mine is also the person I fall in love with.

Yes, I too believe in soulmates; and I'll have been married to mine for 24 years this May 2! .

I also agree with those who have mentioned that such relationships don't always have to be romantic. In my research into the subject, the phrase "soul friend" is used; someone which whom you feel a deep connection, who "gets you", who feels like a part of you - yet with whom there's no romantic involvement.

And yes, you can have such connections with more than one person in your life.

 

[jkovick]

Absolutely. I married him. We understand each other and love each other unconditionally. We have been married for 9 years and people alway ask us if we are newlyweds. He's my best friend. I really couldn't ask for anything more in a husband.

I think soulmates can be multiple, and they can be people you aren't intimately involved with as well. Like your good friends can be soulmates. Even strangers on the street could be your soulmate. I often meet people I think are "kin" after only a few minutes of meeting them.

 

[s&k'smom]

I guess I do believe in soulmates as when I first saw my husband the first thing that popped into my head was "I'm gonna marry that man". I never had any doubts about him. We have been together for nearly 16 years and our wedding anniversary of 14 years is in Sept.

 

[MickeysMommy]

I never did till I found mine

 

[scarlett873]

absolutely...i had met mine in high school...dated for 2 years, broke up and went our separate ways. no contact for 10 years until he e-mailed me one day out of the blue! i always knew he was my soulmate...i tried to move on with someone else, but it just didn't work. and then he came back into my life! he is my very best friend, my husband, the love of my life...we understand each other without even trying. he is simply the most amazing man. tells me numerous times every day that he loves me. tells me he thinks i am the most beautiful woman in the world, even if i'm in sweats. i can bring a smile to his face even when he's in the grumpiest of moods just by touching his cheek. we can just look at each other and know what the other is thinking...i never knew that a couple could be this happy and so perfectly matched...

we've been back together now going on 3 years...not a single solitary fight...the only time we spend apart is when we're at work! if we're feeling cranky, we do our own thing at home until the crankiness has passed. given what we've both been through in our lives, we've realized it's just not worth it to scream and holler at each other. we lost each other once...we don't want to do that again...

I guess I do believe in soulmates as when I first saw my husband the first thing that popped into my head was "I'm gonna marry that man".

my dh told his mom the night he met me (i was 14 at the time) that he had met the woman he was going to marry! it certainly took him long enough, but he finally got it right...

ITA with this, as I know I have had more than one soulmate.

I was lucky enough to marry one of them and I also feel we were "destined" to be together. The way we eneded up meeting is so bizzare that it has to be fate. I was going to a small college in Missouri, he to Southern Illinois. I lived on a floor that I became best friends with two girls, one who happenes to be his cousin. He lived in a house with 7 other guys, one who is also his cousin, brother to my friend. The two cousins set up their best friends with the others best friends. One night early in second semester, Dawn and I decided to go see her boyfriend at SIU. Robin (the cousin) was home for the weekend so she could not talk us out of it. We drove over 5 hours when we had no clue where we were going exactly and wound up in Carbondale close to midnight on a Saturday night. Came back form the bars and sat up talking to "HIM" until 6 in the morning. We were engaged 3 months later and I am complete because of him. Now, if thats not fate, I don't know what is.

I've been with my soulmate for 19 years, married to him for 17 years. We were destined to be together (there are so many parallels in our life) and I have always believed that we are true soulmates.

I absolutely believe in soulmates!

When I met my DW for the first time I knew she was the only one for me. It was as if we had known each other forever.

One year later we married and that was 32 years ago this month. We are still inseperablely in love.

Are we identical? Do we love all the same things? NO, but that is what makes us who we are.

Still , we are meant for each other .... for life!

 

[Rajah]

I agree with Snoopy and the others -- I believe there are people out there who can connect on a deeper level, not necessarily romantically but often times it is. Are they "destined" for each other? Maybe, maybe not. But I do believe in two souls "connecting", be it as best friends (like those best friends who are so close you're like brother and sister or brothers or sisters) or romantically involved.

 

[minniepumpernickel]

I'd like to know how you can really tell if the person is your soulmate? Do you get really nervous around them? Or did you when you first met them?

I mean is it some kind of subconscious thing?

I have personal reasons for asking.

 

[Esmerelda]

Most definitely...and I know everything happens for a reason.

I was married to a man for almost 16 years that treated me horrible. (he didn't start out that way mind you) Anyhow, after going thru a nasty divorce about 4 years ago and finally getting my life and me BACK together, I found my soulmate. Maybe I should say, he found me. I had joined one of those sites online where singles meet singles. The folks I work with knew I didn't have much time to go out to meet anyone so they suggested I join one for just a trial period. I joined Match.com for 3 months. In that time, I met some great men (totally unlike the one I was married too for sure). I made some great friends, but there were no sparks. I cancelled my subscription after 3 months but my picture remained up on the site. About a month later or so, I get an email from this really NICE looking fella. We emailed for a while...then we chatted on the phone for 2 weeks before we had the chance to meet. WOW>>>>>>>>!!! Talk about the firewords at the Magic Kingdom....I...YI...YI !!!!! We are SO much alike its unbelievable! We like the same foods, the same music, heck...we even both roller skate!! (I was a rat rink years ago and he DJ'd in one for about 17 yrs ago until 3 yrs back) We are about 3 years apart in age (he 43, me soon to be 41) and about 17 miles apart in distance. We connect mentally, physically, and spiritually (3 things that have to be there for it too truly work). My two boys absolutely love him and cannot wait to see him everyday. We totally appreciate each other and the time we get to spend together. Many times, we finish each others sentences...and we both thinking laughing is the best thing in life there is thats free. Did I mention he LOVES Disney also>>>???? (he also fond of bringing roses to me!)

It will be one year ago this April that we met and we have plans to marry in May of 05. I absolutely believe in soul mates and fate because someone else holds the plan for all of us. I know I have found mine. (the end)

when you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are....
