I take your meaning, but it's just a word for unconditional love for another human being. One that you can't imagine your life without.
In my case, my WH is farfrom perfect. He's difficult, egotistical, alcoholic, and verbally abusive. He is also warm, loving, nurturing and wonderful. OMG, I'm making myself sick.
Point being, while I understand the need to distance myself from this person, to heal myself; I still cannot imagine my life without this one person. I feel that we were - squint your eyes Jack - soul mates
I know that Jack hates the term and frankly so do I.
To me it implies that you have and obligation to spend your life with this person regardless of what they do or how they treat you.
If he beat you every day of your life, would you stay because he was your "soulmate"?
I hope not.
To me it does not imply unconditional love at all because it places obligation and expectation on another person, to always be around.
While most of us can't/couldn't imagine ourselves with anyone else, I mean, why would we have taken marriage vows if we did...
I don't know if I would consider anyone "soulmates". Sure some people are meant to be togther more than others but...
Punkin, this isn't us trying to convince you or anyone to end their M, just to get people to stretch their thinking a bit...
To help stop the "bad" days a bit...
