That's a tricky one in that the term has been around for so long now. It originated with Plato.
To me it really defines a feeling more than a thing. Was my ex and I very close? Very. Did we have a lot in common? Very much. Did we love each other very much? Yes. Oddly, she now puts the same effort into hating me. It was like a reversal of polarity in some ways. But I digress.
If you believe in the concept of soul mate, then the SC governor wasn't wrong to leave his wife and family after so many years since he discovered his "soul mate" in south america. My ex likely falls into that category as well, thinking she found her soul mate. If I would just disiappear like I never existed...
If you believe in one in a million, there are 60,000+ more just like you (and your ex) in the world.
I don't think great marriages are discovered as much as made so the idea of a soul mate worries me in that it would mean I wouldn't find another. I know that to not be the case in this world. I also know that if you both work at your marriage, it can feel so wonderful as to feel like you found your "soul mate"
