A while back I "intercepted" an e-mail from my then WAW to a new "Match.com friend" which was a long disertation on how she was "looking for her soulmate, her perfect match. One that accepts all of her flaws and never judges her." I almost got ill when I read it. She has a major accountability problem so she wanted someone to accept "whatever" she does as "okay". Pretty scarey definition of a "soulmate". Your last post hits home big time. She claimed that I took her soul from her in the "Alien" days. Whatever. She was looking for the "perfect" person and they just don't exist. We love people not for their perfection but in spite of their imperfections.
I wish I knew the formula for our WAS to understand all of this. My W seems to have figured it out and in fairly short order but I don't know how. All I can figure is an influential person in her life explained this to her in a form she could understand or God gave me the miracle that I had prayed for. I think I will print out that piece on soulmates and add it to my folder of things I want to give to her in the future.
