Or did you end up with someone else?

Do you have any regrets?

Are you still in touch with any ‘The One’ exes?

Do you miss sex with an amazing ex?

I didnt marry the one who I've always been convinced was my "one"
We dont talk anymore. It's all quite sad because we really loved each other. It took me years to get over. I grieved for him like he had died. I ached for him for years. I tried my best to put him behind me, then we spoke after I got married, and he told me I was the only person he would have ever married.at that time he still had remnants of me in his wallet some 7 years after we split up.

I dont miss him so much as miss the way I felt around him.

He was the first person who ever seemed to care for me, and I was the first person who really loved him, and god I really did.

The man I did marry is genuinely the best person I've ever met. And I love him, were best friends, but its different. We can go 3+ months without sex. After 10 years of telling him so many things no one else knows, he still doesn't know what I need, or like. I dont feel very understood by him

Q for the people who married their soulmates:how did you grow up? Were you in intact, happy, stable family setups?

Yes, I grew up in a happy family. We're still all very close; my parents will have been married 42 years this year and my grandparents for 67. We all live within 10 miles of each other and up until covid visited at least weekly, if not more.

I don't think romantic love is that powerful for me, unlike maternal love. But I'm perfectly happy with my chap

Why do you ask OP?

I'm always slightly suspicious of an OP where their reasons for asking are not clear and there are a list of questions that read like they are for an article. Plus they don't return to the thread.
