Do you believe in soulmates? and can you have more than 1?

Asked by jazmina88 (11652points) June 18th, 2010

Okay, I met my soulmate 30 years ago. Still close but he married another. He was too wild for me. Is there another one I am THAT close with? Am I lucky to know I have 1? he says he has 2, his wife as well.

What’s your take?

Sure you can. I am actually in a trifecta of soulmatedness. My two best friends and I.

Nope. only one soulmate for life. you can run across people that you believe might qualify as your soulmate, but there is really only one. once you find this one person and for some reason lose this person, you will constantly be attempting to locate a person just like the one you lost. i compare this situation to a vehicle that you really fell in love with and wanted more than anything else on the planet. you sat in the vehicle, you drove the vehicle, this car was made just for you. the same applies to a soulmate. they only made one and your lost him/her.

My wife is my soul mate. I waited nearly fifty years to find her and there could never be another for me. Believe me, I tried (I was married three times before and never experienced having a soul mate before my wife and I met.

I met my first soul mate when I was three years old, I met my second when I was 17, I met my third when I was 24, my 4th was born when I was 31, my fifth came along when I was 38. There are many soul mates out there for all of us the trick is to recognize them. They come in all different shapes and sizes

I only think there is one. We may have strong connections and bonds with other people, but I think there’s only one soul mate.

I have to agree with @john65pennington. There is only one soulmate, though many people might come close. For example, when I read your declaration of a soulmate which was immediately followed by “he was too wild for me,” my head went “then he wasn’t your soulmate.” I feel either cynical or idealistic, but I want a soulmate to be a perfect match and not a super-super-great-except-for-these-few-things match.

I thought I had two at one time, but one of them turned out not to be the real deal. I think that I’ve gone through my lifetime allocation; back to being a loner again.

I wonder why some of you think there is only one.

I don’t know…but, if there is only one, and I’ve missed meeting him thus far, I hope to have another chance.

You can find folks anywhere….and the test of time and depth finds the soul.
@stranger_in_a_strange_land I lurve you
