Hi Bec sorry its tagged on late Got my daughter to ask her friends who were there soul mates, they all seemed to agree that their soul mate wasn't the one they were married or living with,their soul mates were both male or female no romance invoved but someone who they trusted with their feelings and emmotions,that they could talk to in confidence,and knew they would support them nomatter what they had done.an dknew them better than their partner,, and most of them it was someone of opposite sex. who they admited they loved them but not in a romantic way, XXX

becs when you have been togetherfor year and haven't cheated or lied and see no one else in your life for as long as your living on this planet then you can call each other soulmatesxxxxxx(((:

i would love a soul mate, but im a bit of a heal!! soul..... heal..... get it? deb :-) sorry , that way out tonight te he

Yes Rick is my soul mate deffo xx

i never used to im not sure now, i do think how hard its been working at marriage,maybe stubbornness at times, the fact that i wont let someone say i failed, then after what hubbys been through this year and the push he needed contacting his sister ,it sometimes makes me think maybe we were brought together from so far apart , for a reason, he was going to need someone to be stronger than she thought he was, hope that makes sense the she being me

David - lol Well when WE were at school they just gave us a calculator... not mental arithmitic!

Yes let's say that Bec;)) I'm liking yr maths lol

David - So your OH must be about 30? lol

Yeh I know what you mean Roxanne - we're very much like that with a fairly big age difference too lol (although we got together very quickly:))

Jackie - awwwww :0)

When I first met my husband 44 years ago in my Dad's pub I was going out with someone else. As soon as I gave the other guy up my hubby asked me out. We have now been married 43 years and he is, and will always be, my one and only soul mate. I would never find anyone as good as him. Oh yes we have had our ups and downs but being the soul partners we are you get over those obstacles and work at the marriage. Now we are very comfortable we each other. Just wish he didn't snore so loud lol Regards Jackie

I think the last few comments are absolutely spot on. I've been quite close to one of my female friends for 18 years now, she's my best friend and although lately we've not spoken so much (she's got married, moved away, has a young family and is consequently), I know she's there for me if I need her, and vice versa. We get on brilliantly and always have (although I'm pretty sure I wouldn't go so far as to say soul mates, and she's probably laugh hysterically at that). Never a sniff of romance though.

Probably David, it was just a natural progression, we are alike in so many ways, but different, if you know what I meanlol The differences seem to complement each other, theres a big age difference between us but its just not there, Oh Dear, I hope im making sense:-))

I beleive in soul mates,but like others i do not beleive they are always your love interest, I think they can be your best friend of the opposite sex,someone who perhaps knows you better than your other half, and who's there when you need them.who will support you,when needed, but not nessesarly be romance there,but frienship love.

Hi Anne:) I can relate to loads of that:)

And of course - sometimes they are not meant to be 'soulmates' - just the best mates you can have :O)) My previous Ex I have now known for about 11 years - we were together on and off for 8 years, but he had a lot of 'issues' that caused rifts between us at the time. He realises now that he let them come between us and I know he regrets what he lost because he tells me often. We have remained in contact as friends - and are now the best mates ever - always there for each other - able to talk about absolutely anything including matters of the heart - and quite frankly he is the one that has helped the most to get me through my most recent split :O))

If you hadn't got together Roxanne, do you think you might still have seen him as a soulmate?

Well said David :O)) You can fall in love with lots of people along the way - but they aren't necessarily 'the one' - and I believe I speak from experience :O)) xx Bec - as I always advise - just take it slowly and let it grow - if it's meant to be it will blossom :O))) xxxx

David, Thats so true, Me and my hubby were friends for a long time before there was any romance:-)))

Yeh I do. Not sure that it's always the person that you fall in love with and want to spend your life with - I don't see 'the love of your life' and your 'soulmate' as neccessarily the same thing. It's a lotta fun kissing frogs tho Sheila lol
