Do you believe the old adage that there's a soul mate for everybody?

I believe there is. A soul mate is not always a person you are romantically involved with. It could be a parent, a sibling, a best friend, a teacher as well as a partner.

Yes, I believe that about family members.

My maternal grandma and I had a super close relationship since I was born. I even had her astrological chart done to see if there was something to indicate the reason why we had such a perfect love for one another. The chart analysis said this is an almost magical relationship and it has something to do with our Neptune placements.

So I do believe in perfect love. I was lucky enough to have had it once. šŸ„°

Thank you for saying this first, i get tired of pointing out how thoroughly most westerners misunderstand the concept. I feel Edgar Cayce got it more correct with his talk of 'soul groups'.

What is more 'soulmates' are not always meant to be together forever, but some can in our lives at crossroads moments to help us grow as human being. Conversely, they may come together for a short period to work out a karmic issue between them, forgive and let go. (Which also facilitates our growth.)

Yes, but that is based on ms gamboolgal and I.

That is her sat on my knee when she was barely 17 and I was 19 back in 1979.

We were inseparable and married 3 year later.

And my favorite thing still to do after all these years is to chase ms gamboolgal around the bed buck neckid :love:

Similar story here. Met my wife-to-be 11 days after her 17th birthday while I was 19 and in the military. A few years before you folks - -it was 1953. Married in '56.

And now as we move into our 90's the bedroom "chase" becomes a tangling of canes and walkers.

To answer that we have to define what is a soulmate.

It is a noun meaning a person ideally suited to another as a close friend or romantic partner.

Now how to you find it, it is simple, buy becoming one. It is as simple as that, there are no soulmates, there are just mates. Soulmate is just a myth spread by writer of fiction and drama.

You become the one for the person you care about, love and cherish. Relationships are not ideal and perfect, they are bunch of compromises you do everyday to make sure it works. They are teamwork, and very hard labour, and why we do them, because we believe in our partner or the person we love.

Also a soulmate can be just your best friend, someone who takes you for who you are. A soulmate doesnā€™t have to be your partner, spouse of romantic opposite.

If you have a person in your life, who see the bad in you and still accepts the good in you, pushes you to become better and believes in you, you already have a soulmate. Everyone has one, it is just maybe the person we want to be, isnā€™t the one we have.
 
It's possible. I don't think I ever found it with a person, came close a couple of times. Am I still looking? No, but it could happen.

I will definitely say it has happened with animals. Dogs, cats and even chickens. My avatar is Mr. Handsome, a rooster that I had for 10 years. He was sweet, loving, trusting, and a bit of a scoundrel. He passed about a year ago. God I miss him...
 
In my opinion we are growing and changing i am not the person i was even 10 years ago let alone 40 years ago..... a soul mate would have to have the same growth and change. That sounds highly unlikely.

I think people who came up with this idea might have mistaken it for a person who enters our lives that help us grow and blossom. show us things we may need for the next thing in life.

I think many people who enter our life can either be a blessing or a lesson ..... some fleeting and some stay around but have never felt that was a soul mate.
 
Most people over their whole long life, NEVER have a "Soul Mate". Happily married couples are more likely to be so but less so in the modern urban era.

A total crock of shit!
 
I used to sort of believe that but then I woke up to the fact we all have quirks.
And the closest one to being that one day mentioned something about his ex-wife's daughter
and how he said it creeped me out...that was the end of that fantasy.
