tonight, I had a phone call from my soul mate, who is overseas, that I haven't seen in 8 years...after all that time, the sound of his voice brought everything back..all the joy..all the love...and now i feel sad and worn out. my heart won't let go-no matter how busy i keep myself, what good friends i make, or how much time passes...
...anyone have similar experience or advice?
thanks in advance

Why havn't you seen eachother fo 8 years, people have a tendency to forget all the bad, and remember only the good as time passes.

I had a phone call from my son's biological father a few days ago, I haven't seen or talked to him for 22 years, I was shocked. He apologized for everything that happened, and said he was going to make up everything to me. Too little too late. My new love was with me and helped me get through this experience even called him back to talk to him.

There is always a reason people separate from eachother. Sometimes its better to leave the past in the past.

I think I understand what you are saying, but almost always it's only a memory, and a few more seconds would allow me to realize why we were ex in the first place.

It's good that the person you are presently with was understanding, because some would have gotten very angry that your ex contacted you after all this time have passed. All the best to you.

thanks for the advice...and you're right...

I feel like I was a bit hard on you. I believe that when you fall in love with someone who wasn't right for you, it brings you one step closer to what you are really looking for in a mate.

I am over 40, been in love 4 times, each taught me lesson on what i don't want. The 5th one is loving, kind, compasionate, I feel such a strong bond with him that I have never felt with anyone else.

You will find that special someone, who will stand beside you through thick and thin.

Apologiies for my crassness,....but I find it difficult to correlate "soulmate" with an eight year span of non-communication,....

Other than the "best of friends" scenario with NO expectations of romantic involement, I have never experienced an event such as this. I have memories,...but even the most brilliant and energetic fire has a tendency to die down after time,....and 8 years is quite a bit of time,...

I understand but can offer no advice as I'm looking for the same but just a bit longer time and we never dated but were good friends, if its true love it will find a way.

Thanks to all of you.
I do appreciate all of you taking the time to write on this. We do have a 20 year history of being attracted to each other, but either he was in a relationship or I was, or my friends intimidated him....but eventually we did get together, and it was the very best...family circumstances forced him to leave canada. Since that time (8 years) he has kept in touch, as have I. It just seemed this time, the feeling was more urgent..maybe it's just time reminding me it's still moving..but whatever it was, I'm back under control. I guess I should save the reaction for if/when he shows up on my doorstep.
Thanks again
