Have You Ever Met Your Soulmate..in one form or another?
I've met my soulmate, but this person is ten years older than me, and just a dear friend for over ten years, but if there were any souls that were perfectly connected, it would be ours. It's not a sexual thing, it's just we are connected in a way that is cosmic. We can finish each others sentences, we can have a conversation without talking, we love the same kind of music, food and pop culture.
Sometimes I wish I had that same connection with my wife and sometimes I resent her for it. I love her for who she is, but I miss that deeper connection.
I think you're extremly lucky if you can marry your soulmate and live happily ever after.
Have you ever met your soulmate?
Definitions of Soulmates
Classic Meaning of Soulmates
The concepts of soulmates arose from Greek mythology. According to the story, our ancestors once had 2 heads, 4 arms. They did something to offend a god so that god punished them by splitting them down the middle, resulting in the creation of humans. As a punishment, we are condemned to spend our lives searching for the other half, our soulmates.
Spiritual Soulmate Concepts
Many religions and spiritual paths believe in reincarnation and the concept of karma. Through reincarnation, soulmates may spend many lifetimes together in past lives. Other spiritual methods of searching for one's soulmate are astrology, numerology, palm reading, personality types, and magic. Modern spritual paths often blend western and eastern philosophies.
Companion Soulmates These are people that we encounter through their life. These are usually friends, teachers, mentors, or other people who have helped you achieving a life's goal or helped you out of a crisis.
Twin Soulmates These types of soulmate are your closest friends or a person whom you really click with. According to those who believe in reincarnation, you have already met them in a past life, and in this life you are continuing the relationship. There is an emotional bond between these soulmates and each is able to sense the feelings of each other..
Twin Flame Soulmates This is the most popular type of soulmate. There is usually one twin flame soulmate for each of us. Twin flame soulmates have spent multiple lifetimes together in past lives. There is incredible chemistry and attraction towards each other. They "complete" each other and only few lucky people are able to find their twin flame soulmate. Twin flame soulmates, if separated, usually suffer enormous pain.
Love Economics Definition of Soulmates
Love Economics is our theory of love and dating. It is based on probabilities calculations, population statistics, and empirical research findings from Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology, and Psychiatry. Love Economics explains social interactions in economic terms, benefits and costs. Based on this theory, the person who gives you the highest benefit per cost ratio on this Earth is your soulmate. The benefit to cost ratio is called your soulmate ratio. Mathematically, the ratio is written as:
Some people believe that a potential soulmate may be living halfway around the world. Based on the Love Economic Theory, the odds are against this happening due to cultural differences unless you just moved from there. Also, geographical distance will increase search, research, and maintenance costs. Unless one of you decides to take the risk to move to the other person's location, he/she is not your soulmate.
The longer you are in love with your soulmate, the higher the soulmate ratio becomes. Better communication skills will emerge and you both will share more experiences resulting in more similarities. It is only after you finished the research phase and had been in love for many years can you determine if the person you are with is indeed your soulmate.
yes i have ..sometimes she and I don't have 2 say words, we just know what the other is thinking

Have you ever met your soulmate?
Bypassing all the cosmic stuff and what lots of people will post here to say they "don't believe in,"
HELL YEAH.
If you mean like the characters of Cliff and Claire, total best friends and passionate lovers, incredible connection and the feeling of something out-of-this-world special when you're together even after years and hardships, knowing what the other means with just a look, cracking each other up with a word, a united front in all things including those ridiculous ass children of yours tryna get over on you all the damn time...
Oh yes.
I have.
Call it what you want and say it doesn't exist.
I don't care.
This thread touched me because The Cosby Show is one of my all-time favorite programs, and I wished for a love like the parents on that show. Always teasing each other and making each other laugh, doing everything they can every day for the happiness of the other, completely at ease and at home with each other, just love love love and perfection amidst all the imperfection of each other as humans and the shit you have to slog through together and misunderstandings that you always come out of on the other side together and stronger and HAPPY, not just "ok I survived that"...
Did I find people who I got along with extremely well? Do we love each other? Yes. But why call them "soulmates"? It's childish, in my opinion.
Generally, the older we get, the less we worry about distancing ourselves from being childlike.
It's not about distancing yourself from being childlike, or that anyone should worry about it.
What I meant by that expression is that words like "soulmate" or even "love" are being thrown around for the sake of self-manifestation, without taking a time to think it through and be sure of it. There's nothing wrong with being childlike, but some "typically childish" characteristics (like jumping the gun on something, as in this case) remain "dangerous", no matter whether you worry about being childlike or not.
What you have fits the definition of soulmate. But your husband remains the same wonderful person to you and vice versa even without this definition.
I never said I don't believe people can truly love each other the way you described it and I did feel it too, myself. But people really believing there is one person on this planet they are meant for etc. are simply wrong.
It's like confusing the concept of God with sheer reality.
I hope I made this clear enough without hurting you or pretending I was "attacking" your old souls.

I agree with a lot of this and don't feel attacked at all.
I'm not attached to labels and names for the most part. I mean, we're husband and wife so to some extent one could argue that I am. But that's practical stuff. Is it important to me to feel like our "souls" traveled the same dirt road in Ancient Mesopotamia, or that some wrinkles on our palms match in some arbitrary way? Absolutely not.
But I also don't feel the need to tell people who do need a name, a face, or an absolute concept to describe or understand the wonders of the world that they're wrong. They aren't. They're just them, having their experience. Sure, a belief in fairtytales can bring people down a road of self-deception or acting upon imagined things. Oh, well. You know?

Agree completely! Is it possible we're soulmates too?

two years ago, I thought I had found her, and I was so ready to express my true feelings, but suddenly, one afternoon, I found one fatal flaw: she treated her sister like crap, and I mean LIKE CRAP...I don't need such a nasty/mean bitch in my life...no matter how hot/intelligent she was...

can't stand the expression soulmate, but i think something cool exists.!! i knew after spending a few minutes with my bloke that he was the one 4 me, there was special connection, chemistry.. like i knew him my whole life.. i just knew, can't explain.. like i was enveloped in complete security, it was a spiritual feeling i haven't had since. it freaked me out & that was 26yrs ago
My husband and I crack eachother up and that is one of my fave things. One of our fave pastimes is watching househunters or other such reality shows and narrariting the peoples lives/stories. We do this pretty often actually......we need to get lives....ha.
But anyway. As far as someone who likes the same music/culture/beliefs/and what not. I've never been lucky enough to find that in anyone. And I'm pretty damned simple, but apparently I'm bizarre to most cuz ppl do not typically like what I like.
My ex husband and I complimented eachothers strentghs/weaknesses fabulously. Unfortunately we fuckin hated eachother.
My current hubby is more like me than my ex but that leads to conflict as well.
Soul mates.....I don't believe in as far as there is only ONE person in the whole wide world that is your soul mate but wtf do I know.
I do believe you can find atleast one of your 'soulmates' in your lifetime though, and I'm sure it's pretty fuckin groovey.
I've reached in darkness and come out with treasure
I layed down with love and I woke up with lies
Whats it all worth only the heart can measure
It's not whats in the mirror but what's left inside
