It is now almost three years since our divorce. I am happy. I am calm. I am centered. I know where my path lies. (to be the best mom and WIFE I can be) I have met and married my love, my soul mate... a man that is in SYNCH with ME, and ME with HIM, and it is awesome! I think a lot of us settle for men or women we ultimately know are wrong, yet, we want it SOOO bad to be right. Well, what I have learned through this sight and a few others, is that you have to accept and love yourself. You have to make sure you appreciate EVERY gesture of kindness. You have to treat others like YOU want to be treated. And you know what? LIFE IS GRAND. I met my love, and we are married now. And I am at peace. I am with who I SHOULD be with: a man that gets me a man that loves me a man that cherishes me a man that LOVES my kids And I could not ask for anything more.... I had actually resigned myself to being single. And I met him, and the rest is history. So if you think there is no one out there for you, think of me. I met my love, my husband, at a BBQ neither of us wanted to be at. We hit it off. And the rest is history! So, my advice is: learn from your mistakes and MOVE ON! There is someone out there that gets YOU!

No need to be sarcastic...I had a "soulmate" in every sense of the word, he was my best friend, lover, partner, we had complete faith in each other and great communication and chemistry...unfortunately he died long before I was ready for him to. How do you know this person hasn't met their soulmate? Enacting life's lessons into positive change... .

Yes, I never realized how it was to be with someone that you just get, and who gets you... it is just natural, and yet exciting! I never was a "soul mate" type of person, till I met someone that was just so natural to be with. It is a great feeling. Thanks NED, SS, DB, and KS! :-)

How do you know this person hasn't met their soulmate? I think the sarcasm was directed only at the term "soulmate", not at the idea that someone found a wonderful partner. I don't happen to believe in the idea of "soul mates" in the sense of two people's souls somehow being destined to be shared with only each other. But I do believe that when you mean a compatible partner, that the relationship can be wonderful and deep, with all the great things you mentioned above. It just has nothing to do with souls, IMO, and everything to do with compatibility. But that's just me, of course. AGG
