What makes your S o u l F u l l?

The older I get the more cynical I get on this subject.... imho you can think you have found it and then real life shatters the myth again, but I’d love to be proved wrong one more time!

If you’re young and you think you have yours, don’t let anything get in the way of staying together. I made this mistake in my late teens. Both of us have spent a lifetime regretting we didn’t ignore our parents at the time and suffer the consequences and marry despite them.

It has shaped the rest of our lives! We both ended up moving to different continents, alternately making attempts for decades to reach out to each other and repeatedly failing, or giving up when we heard the others situation at that time.

It nearly blew both our lives apart in 2016 when we finally gave up fighting our desires and spent a week together hidden in England away from families. Months later it ended horribly and with both us mentally scarred and needing counseling. He is still there 3yrs later, I have been able to recover and we have talked so he could ask my forgiveness and I gave it, despite him breaking my heart. I want and need us both to be healed after 38 yrs of this mess.

So we are on speaking terms again and have said our mutual apologies. But we could have saved ourselves a lifetime of yearning and ‘what if’ moments, that have ruined other relationships, if we had just fought to stay together from the start.

Don’t let this be you!

Oh DD that is such a sad story :( I'm sorry it ended for you like that

I freely admit that I am a hopeless romantic, hence I love the quotes on this thread but I'm also living proof that not everyone gets their soulmate....or at the very least they take along time showing up. OR maybe unlike you I never noticed them when I was younger

Whatever it is, I still live in hope! :)
 
3 days on my couch in my pajama's. I was invited to a bunch of get togethers. My heart is completely broken. I have a few woman calling/texting me. I stopped taking all the calls. I spent a week up North last week and hung out with another lady. The second day I realized that I just didn't really want to be around her.


I've always had my shit together. Successful in a lot of different ways in life. (depends on how you rate success) Sure I have struggled, who hasn't. I get along with most everyone. Conversation comes easy with me and I have no issues when it comes to talking to people. ( not in writing though ) I feel awkward typing shit. Not sure I even like myself when I read this spew.

I never even noticed anyone else when I was with my woman. She was my universe. I would have done anything. Sometimes you are helpless and can do nothing. What the Fuck!

I know that no one will ever take her place or ever could. Loneliness is a bitch.

I'm not the youngest dude and had my share or girlfriends. Enough to know that a soulmate is not normal. If you find someone that fits the bill appreciate them and let them know everyway you can. Embrace every moment and treat them right.


The world can be a beautiful place and then it can tear you apart.


But enough of my nonsense, I going to go shower and shave , once a week whether I need it or not, lol

Sorry you have to experience all that pain. I think some people experience the presence of a great love and not realize it was their soulmate at the time. Once gone it's to late. I hope things get better for you soon.
 
I’ve become to cynical to believe in this fairytale anymore. Yet I still love to read romance novels where it happens. Sure someone gets kidnapped or murdered here or there. Still a fake ass love story. Smh. I must be a glutton for punishment.
 
Even after all these years, I still long for and pray for a man whose soul my soul recognizes...who makes me think "aaaahhhh, there you are!" I don't think I'll find him.

I feel you. You do exactly what you need to do to get through, whatever that entails </3

Me tooooo!

I wasn't sure I ever believed in them. I think it's someone who gets us (the real us), someone who fits...who gives a damn, who puts up with our shit no matter what and goes the distance. Jenny, I hope and wish you meet yours as I do all of you :rose: :heart: :rose:
 
I stopped believing in Soulmates long ago. Chasing that, or even thinking you found it...that just ends up being painful.

I don't want labels. Just be happy.

Yes, just to be happy is the goal. Throw in a little peace in your heart, mind, body and soul too :)
