Forgettin my soulmate

It's been two months since we last met. Even so, I cry & long for him even more with each passing day. That's how much I love & miss him. How can I not when what he & I shared was amazingly deep & immensely special?

We stopped going out because we both thought it is for each other's & our own good. Us seeing each other had to stop because we come from different faiths, different cultures. And to us, this meant the relationship we were so entangled in, perfect as it was, could never conclude with marriage.

How do I rid of my feelings for him? How can I try to forget him? I feel empty inside. At times, it feels like I could go insane. I have never felt like this with anyone else. How can I let go & move on, knowing he's my soulmate? How can I let go of a relationship this flawless?

He & I still keep in touch, updating each other about our lives. It hurts at times to listen because I no longer am a part of his life. Should we stop contacting each other completely? I did talk to him about this a few times but he said he can't just stop caring about me & wants us to remain friends.

As much as it will hurt you, I think that in order to move on with your life, and move on from him, you need to cut ties. Keeping in touch is only keeping you from getting on with life, and potentially keeping you from meeting your next soulmate. I know how hard it is to cut someone out of your life that you care about so much, but you have to think of YOU.

I agree wholeheartedly with Rebecca.

Maybe with time and space you could reconnect on a friendship level, but it sounds like it is way too fresh...

If the two of you truly believe you can't make it as a couple you need to let go totally, at least for a while until feelings settle down. Otherwise still being in each other's lives is rubbing salt in the wound. You won't be able to move on. So for now at least dont' be friends. And do nourish yourself - be gentle, spend time with people who care about you, etc, during this tough time. Good luck.
