To think there is no such thing as a soul mate

[scruffybird]

Am I the only one who thinks that it is a load of bollocks?

YANBU

I love my dh very much but I do not believe in soulmates (and neither does he)

Soul mate

The one

...hate those expressions. Meaningless.

If we genuinely only had one soul mate - isn't it a bit of a convenient that everyone seems to meet theirs a few miles from where they live?

yanbu

there are many coincidences in our background, but that's not really surprising

YANBU. Lot of old tosh, IMO.

YANBU

I love my DH with all my hear but there are 3 billion men on the planet so I am fairly confident that I could be equally happy with someone else.

Nancy, my husband was 5,000 miles from where I lived when I met him.

So your generalization, like most is wrong.

YANBU... a soulmate, yes, but the soulmate or the one - no I don't think so.

Well, I don't believe in a 'soul', once you're dead that's it, you're gone, nowt left, so I'm with you on that particular expression being a crap one.

YANBU. An old friend of mine has had (married/co-habited with) several "soulmates", each of of whom was The One.

YANBU.

I have a friend who fervently believes in this. I was bridesmaid at her wedding and she was so happy to be getting married to The One.

A year later and they're separated - she says she was wrong, he was not The One.

Now she's met a new guy - apparently he's The One.

Good luck to her, but load of old bollocks if you ask me.

x post with Old Lady...

well - my DH and I lived miles away from each other and fell in love at first sight - 14 yrs on still as much as ever and yes we would say we are soul mates

our parents are the same.
We were all lucky we knew it when we saw it

I think there are lots of people with whom you can be really happy. If that wasn't the case you'd be a buggered if your soulmate lived in Texas and you were in London.

It's a good thing there is probably no such thing as 'the one'. It would be unfortunate to meet him when you were already married to someone else, having mistakenly thought he was the one.

YANBU. There is no such thing as The One.

karma I lived in Texas when I met my DH who lived in London .

Soul mates though? What a load of rubbish. Soul mates implies no work needed. I love my DH with all my heart but we both work at our relationship. Some days more than others.

That was lucky Tarheel

YABU I do believe in "The One" but I also believe that there could be more than one "One" for some people.

That is possibly a bit hypocritical but there you go.

I'm not sure.

I thought I was in love before and who I was with was the one I would be with but I was wrong.

With DH I know he is right for me and I knew he loved me before he said it. Never had that with anyone else.

All the romantic mistakes I have ever made have been because I thought I'd met my soulmate! Concentrating much more now on meting someone whose actions match his words :)

I think DP is mine. I sometimes think he's a total knob but the bond we have and the fact we can read each other's minds and are so in tune... yeah, noone could compare. He's perfect in my eyes despite faults.

No. I thought DH was mine but no.

No. Love my husband dearly, but I don't believe in a soul mate. I think there are a range of people who could make you happy.
