Do you think your MM is your soulmate?

I have seen so many women on here post that their MM is their “soulmate.” Now I am not trying to offend anyone, but that sentiment always sounded so ridiculous to me when mentioned within the context of an A. I am not saying I don’t believe in the idea of a soulmate -- not saying I do either (I do think I lean toward the latter), but I always wondered how someone could consider someone their soulmate when they are involved in such a constrained relationship. I mean COME ON, how can you know someone is your soulmate if you do not know “all” of him or her? I personally think many people are caught up in a delusion.

Any thoughts?

Am I cynical today, or what?!!! What happened to the romantic me?!! See what these As do to people!!!

I believe in soulmates, but I believe you have more then one. I had three wonderful years with one of them and I plan on sharing many more with others.

I haven't formed any opinion on whether my current guy is a soulmate for exactly the reasons you're talking about. That's a question I wont be able to answer until his GF is completely out of the picture. Do know soemthing like that I have to be able to love a person completely and I can't do that when I know he's telling someone else he loves them.

You are one cycnical gal, aren't you?? LOL! How do you know that a person is your soulmate if you don't know "ALL" about them? Hey, isn't that the part about the "mystery" being being a soulmate comes in. Soulmates don't really need to know all - they just know. Its the feeling of being connected - something that will never go away however hard you try. Girl, its hard to explain but I believe in it!!!

I agree. You don't need to know everything about a person to be soul mates. Haven't you ever met a person and felt you knew them forever? I can bare my sole to my MM. I can't to anyone else. I can let him see the real me. I have a girlfriend that I feel I have a soulmate connection with. We have been friends for over 25 years and we have old souls. I know it's not the same as a man/woman thing but I feel like she is in my soul. Just like MM. It's not just a compatible thing but a closeness that I have with certain people.

charlotte -- i don't believe in soulmates. to me, a soulmate is someone who completely gets you, trusts you, believes in you, supports you every day. i don't know anyone like that and i don't know anyone who knows anyone like that!!

i do believe in people you connect with on a deeper level and hopefully fall in love with, male and female. i have two great girlfriends that i love and would do anything for! AND of course, i have two men i love and would do anything for! but soulmates, no, i don't believe they exist.

and as you can tell, i'm a cynic!

but charlotte, you are falling in love and fighting it all the way..... a little scared are we??

i believe my MM is my soulmate.

however, i also *realize* that i may not end up with him.

i feel confident i will find happiness and contentment in another relationship if and when that time comes. This will not change what me and MM had/have.

My dawsons creek quote sticks with me... "if someone is your true love they will find a way to be with you".

So, maybe i am wrong LOL.

who knows.

But i have the deepest connection i have ever had with a man w/ MM.

So there you go!
