What is a "Soulmate" (94)
rizlared: Mine too, if my mother had lasted another 4 months they would have been married for 75 years, now it is so painful watching my 98 year old father dying from a broken heart, he will be 99 in June, and then I think he too will pass away, health wise he is fine, but the loneliness and the missing of my mother as his real soulmate, is just too much for him to bear.
I'm so sorry to hear about that Riz.
Yep, the relationship your mother and father had for all those years is the true definition of soulmates. It truly is the bonding of two souls Riz.

Hiya Ger.
Me thinks it's referred to as unrequited love.

rizlared: Was reading a thread on another forum, and a poster posed this question, some of the responses surprised me.
so what defines a soulmate to you?
I think,until you find the link to soul mate that completes your very soul, the feeling will never go away. Most people find a way to fill this void, choosing partner under their standard or getting involved in a string of relationships, getting satisfied with material possessions, affairs, chocking in food, or being health freak of Gym and healthy food ...or forgetting all that in giving much thoughts to other interesting topics ..and on the way of our life journey people which thoughts are alike do come like magnet and you meet some that sounds like soul mate because of similar interest/affirmations but it doesn't mean they will stay in your life forever ...even when you may grow to love this person in real life or from distance, they are not yours to keep. I think their purpose to come and go from your life is to show you how to save yourself... and once this is fulfilled; the halo lifts and the angel leaves their body as the person exits your life. so what defines a soulmate to you?
They will be a stranger to you once more... but they teach what no one else can.

rizlared: And what happens when we meet them? Can finding a soulmate truly ensure a long lasting relationship?
I think soul mate is not a choice...connection just happens because your on the same wave energy with another.If your lucky to find a soul that grooves with yours - you will feel as if you know each other for a thousand years in a completed solitude...but forever is a long time,every relationship needs constant maintenance and work of two way street give and take. ------ This thread is Archived ------

I don't believe in the concept of a soulmate.
I believe in love, respecting and supporting each other no matter what.
My parents had such a relationship and too many I know didn't. I know what I am looking for and what to not even get into or hang on to.

mickyj777: Ok I will be the worst person to ask
Honestly I'm 53 and from the age of 20
I have never known true love .
Yes I was married thankfully that ended .
I in that age range have never known love ,
My fault I was ready to accept any female result even lowering my expectations was not the correct way to do things .
I will not blame the ladies I dated some were not the type to date but many weren't .
I have failings which many ladies couldn't accept most being a low paid worker they wished to meet a high paid man .
Back on track since I was 20 never met a soul mate
And for molly I have many friends online who are not seeking soul mate but a twin flame .
There you a new one for molly

Most people don't ever find a soul mate I wouldn't worry about that. Only an idiot lives as tho they'll find theirs. Even in the old days where people married for life they weren't soulmates, they were just much more grateful to be alive which made them loyal and value the other person a lot more. Unless we're to believe that all those "soulmates" of the past just happened to live in the same town or on the same street and not, say, in a village in Africa.

Soulmates could be two ingrate moderners, leagues apart in value and worlds apart in life, who stay blissfully married for 70 years. The natural and banal preconditions of love present in 99.8% of relationships are not there for the .2% of soulmates.

The tendency is there, especially amongst women and the youth, to set the bar low for what a soulmate is due to women and youth being over-emotional(in general). The easy feels actually devalue feelings. And these easy feels characters also remain oblivious to the banal preconditions of love and think they have true love, but then split up when he's unemployed for a few months or she gains a few too many lbs(not through pregnancy).

Having said that I'm wary around women who don't believe in soulmates. These women overlap greatly with women who have no sense of humour, who are also women I don't trust.

And this is because women essentially have two core modes of being: doe-eyed romantic or mercenary pragmatist.

Just echoing what Deb said.....a soulmate....one who loves unconditionally....feels the hurt, pain and joy, literally, of the other mate. A mirror image of oneself. A surreal spiritual connection where words not ever be spoke...just the entwinement of two souls.
...or have I been watching too many romantic chick flicks?

Hi Riz,
Sorry to hear that. It is true what they say of a broken heart disease.
At least it is comforting to know they spent many years together.

The differences between soulmates and life partners
Soul Mate: Someone who is aligned with your soul and is sent to challenge, awaken and stir different parts of you in order for your soul to transcend to a higher level of consciousness and awareness. Once the lesson has been learnt, physical separation usually occurs.
Life Partner: A companion, a friend, a stable and secure individual who you can lean on, trust and depend on to help you through life. There is a mutual feeling of love and respect and you are both in sync with each others needs and wants.
