Some very interesting and intelligent thoughts being put forth here. Have I been guilty of using/thinking the term "Soulmate"? Yep. And all the above applies. But I break down that thought today as my X being the person I was closest to in the entire world - until he suddenly wasn't. Do I want that degree of closeness again? Absolutely. Am I ready to lay myself open for that again? Hell no. Welcome to the conundrum.
