Soulmate (noun): a close friend or romantic partner with whom one has a unique deep connection based on mutual understanding and acceptance.

What do you think about the concept of soulmates? Do you believe they exist? Do you believe they’re fictitious?

I believe in soulmates. 100%. I think people come into our lives that we create a deep bond with. I believe it doesn’t have to be romantic. You can definitely form a bond with a friend that is special to you. I also believe you can have multiple soulmates throughout your life.

James J. Like a brother to me throughout middle school and high school. Definitely a soulmate. He understood me and took care of me. We lost touch after I went into the Army and got married. I 100% appreciate the relationship we had.

Brad B. Probably one of the most influential soulmates in my life. He came to me during my junior year in high school. We had a special connection that was strong and lasted through my time in the Army. I can credit him for my love of hockey. Our connection faded after he married, but I think that’s how it should be.

Casey B. Before we got married, we shared a special connection. One that exists today. We have a mutual understanding of each other and each other’s needs. There is a definitely a mutual respect of each other’s boundaries. Most of all, he accepts me for who I am.

A soulmate to me is someone you can talk to all day. Someone that makes time for you. Someone that you can tell your deepest, darkest secrets to. Someone that you connect with on all levels. I also feel like soulmates are challenged with obstacles that test their friendship. Despite these challenges, they find their way back to each other. Despite how much they may hurt each other, there is always forgiveness. They’re true to each other. They’re honest with each other. They’re loyal to each other.

So, yes. I do believe in soulmates.

  1. Sadly, I think soul mates are lovely in stories but don’t really exist. I’ve met far far too many people that insisted that their partner was their “soul mate!” and then they were divorced a few years later. People change, people grow, that’s how people are and it’s totally natural. Two people staying together through all the changes and growth spurts just isn’t realistic, because the person someone adores now is not going to be the same person ten years from now. Lol, my idea of soul mate is probably too strict. I’ve had many friends that we just clicked, we could say anything to each other and shared our best secrets. But I considered those to be just “best friends”. For me a soul mate means something more romancey. It’s someone that’s the other half of your heart. A soul mate is a perfect match and always will be. It’s a lovely thought, and it’s great to see in romance or friendship stories. I just don’t think that’s realistic though.

    1. I get it. I totally get where you’re coming from.
