True love?


I am always surprised by the women who ask a total stranger to say he is her "soulmate", the one and only who will fulfill every desire. Most people are not going to be perfect in every way.

Yet people do marry, commit and grow together. But very few start out knowing that a complete stranger will be that one unique lover/companion/soulmate.

From a male perspective, I would like to<b> meet a woman </font></b>who is attractive, fun, interesting and desires me, healthy, decent and desireable. You would not think that was asking for the moon.

So I do not understand how in advance with no info I can think or predict total satisfaction on every level for my partner.

After all, you take a new car for a test ride before you buy it to see if the car meets your needs.

I would disagree with your interpretation of soulmate. Of course no- one is perfect, and just because this is the case does not mean they cannot be someone's soulmate.

I knew the day I met my husband that I would marry him. And no, that's not something I've taught myself to believe with the benefit of hindsight. This is how sure I was: I met him on 21 November 1989 and by February 1990 I had changed my name legally to his. We were due to get married in October 1990 - everyone around me thought I was mad. But the point was, I was sure. And so was he.

We were together for 16 years in all, until he died suddenly of cancer. And no, we didn't always get on. Sometimes he really pissed me off (and how he lived with me I really don't know!). But the point was, we knew from the day we met that we were committed in this together. And it was that joint commitment which made us soulmates.

Are we unique? I don't think so. My father proposed to my mother within two hours of meeting her. Eventually, they were married for 49 years until the day she died, and were definitely soulmates (even though she wanted to kill him half the time for his irritating behaviour!).

I think finding your soulmate is like falling in love at first sight: it's rare that two people want the same relationship from the off, but when they do, that is when the magic happens. There is absolutely no point, I agree, in going out looking for someone who meets your soulmate criteria.

Blogito ergo sum.

Instant love can happen but it is rare...
