Do you belive there is a soulmate, one perfect half for everyone?

I have no idea if there is a 'soulmate' for everyone. Between my 1st and 2nd marriages (10 years), I had pretty much given up on the idea of a 'life partner'. For that 10 years I was a serial monogamist with 5 women. All were enjoyable - but ran their course.

It wasn't until I stopped looking, that I found my 'soulmate'. And in many ways we complement and complete each other.

Do I think there is more than 1 person in the world who could fill that role? At one time I would have said yes - but there is no one who could come near the closeness and intimacy that I now have - so as with many things, my views have changed. If I were a politician I would surely be labeled a 'flip-flopper'!

The best of luck to you as you explore your future. Don't forget to enjoy the journey. Try not to expect too much from relationships - the pressure to perform - or deliver can kill relationships. Let them evolve - they will either thrive or die - but you can still have a lot of enjoyment from the experiences.

I don't see any reason as to how this could be possible, so no.

I believe you can have chemistry (whatever that means) with someone, and work hard at the relationship, and in that way make them your own soulmate.

I think there is more than one person out there who i'd be suited with. But it's a matter of choosing one and making it work.

I think soulmates do exist, but the chances of ever meeting your other half are minimal. I don't think I will ever find mine.

I think that with a population on the earth of 7 billion and rising there is certainly more than one person that would probably be perfect for you. I am not half of a person, I am a whole one and I don't need someone to complete me. I think the idea of a soulmate is over-sentimental crap and pushes people to have unrealistic expectations of what a relationship really is.

That sounded really negative oops sorry

not sure

I believe many people can fit that role. I don't think that out of 7 billion people on the planet, there's one that is the absolute perfect person for you, and no one can compare. The odds of meeting that person would be far too little.

I don't believe in soul mates. To me, that would mean if you never met "the one" you could never be happy. I think there are lots of relationship possibilites for everyone. The trick is to pick a good one and then together build that relationship into something spectacular.

Having said that, my husband is a bit miffed that I don't see him as my soul mate.

I've been extraordinarily lucky to have found THREE women I would gladly have spent the rest of my life with, and one with whom I'm actually doing it.

I absolutely believe there are multiple "perfect" (or at least, close enough to perfect) matches for each of us out there. One professor in a Intimate Relationships class I took claimed that there were something like 10,000 "soulmates" on the planet for the average person. That was based on analysis of a number of studies. If that's correct, with 7 billion people on earth, that would mean soulmates are, on average, on in 700,000. Those are pretty long odds!

It definitely feels like hitting the jackpot when you do meet someone like that.

No. "Soulmate" carries too much expectation on a partner who is merely human.

Despite being a classic INFJ Princess-type (Cinderella? Snow White? Sleeping Beauty? All INFJ's), I've had enough experience with reality to understand that the universe does not run on romantic ideals.

The only thing I wanted was an emotionally healthy lifemate whom I was comfortably compatible with, who had his own mind and life outside the relationship.

C turned out exactly like that, and I'm delighted that I have the Doctor instead of a fairy-tale prince.
