Do You Believe In Destiny And Soulmates?

[Broseph]

Last night I met the most amazing woman I've ever met, she's older than me by 10 years but we just clicked and it felt like we knew each other our whole lives.

She said to me that she can feel that this was going to be the start of something beautiful as she believes in destiny.

This was a powerful moment that resonated in my brain for quite a while which I've never experienced before.

Did you know from the beginning when you met your partner that you would be spending the rest of your lives together?

[mastercraft]

No, I didn't know it. But, three children later... reality hit home!

[Baldric]

Yes, before we had even spoken, 30+ years ago, Married 28 years in September.

I think if it's meant to be, then it's meant to be.
Not all long term relationships start out with a big "wow" moment. I met my missus when she was out with one of my sisters - never in a million years did I have an inkling that we'd still be together 25 years later.

I have heard these encounters have happened to a lot of people who have gone on and got married and lived happily ever after. I wish you both lots of happiness :)

[jim360]

Very possibly I will, once I've found mine! I thought I had last year, but apparently not. Ah, well.

He just seemed like a pleasant chap, we got along. I was chief Bass (I KNOW, but we were short of men and I sing deep alto) when he joined the choir, so I was his boss.

Once I was explaining some notation to him and he said, smartly 'Jawohl, Herr Obergruppenfuhrer!'. Something happened, don't know what. Result is that we are married and I understand him and he me to a depth I could never have imagined. 'Soulmate' is not a word I'm used to, but we belong together and that's that. So the answer to your question must be 'Yes'.

How drunk was she?

I always felt that my wife was my soulmate and that we were destined to be together for ever. Until she left me for her boss last year.

I think the Soulmates thing is horsepoo. As for destiny.....there's more to life than meets the consciousness.

[Prudie]

^ unfortunately that happens to a lot of soulmates IMO

[jourdain2]

Oh! handyguy, so very sorry. It will get better eventually and I hope you will learn to trust again - enough to maybe take a chance, as I did.

[Mamyalynne]

I think it does happen ,yes - I went for a dinner date.

He was due to go back to the States the next week, he never went back and we were married 35 years.

[handyguy]

Dont think I could ever trust a woman again. The saddest thing of all after everything she did to me I would still beg her to come back.

[woofgang]

yes, I knew and he knew too. Right from the first second we met.

[Barsel]

I believe in soulmates, destiny, fate and love, but I wouldn't necessary put them all together. My soulmate is another woman and I love her, but not in a romantic way. I loved my husband, but he wasn't my soulmate. I do believe we are destined to meet whoever we meet in life and that fate often plays a part in this. I hope things work out well for you Broseph. x

[Greedyfly]

I don't believe in destiny or that 'everything happens for a reason' but I do believe I found 'the one' and so far after a very long time together things are still great. I have no doubt in my mind that we are perfectly matched.

Saying that it took a lot of years for me to realise that this was it and we were in it for the long haul, but I put that down to my age as I was very young when we met.

[Old_Geezer]

Determinism seems probable to me, I suppose you could call that destiny, although not with pre intent.

Soul-mates is just a name given when you mind says you seem immediately comfortable in some other particular person's company. It's a fairly meaningless term aside from that.

I suspect most folk had a preference for a particular partner which didn't work out, prior to finding the one they mutually agreed to make a go of it with.

[woofgang]

OG, in my experience, having and meeting one's soul mate means more than that.
