how can you understand that somebody is your other half?

Answer 1

The idea that someone is "your other half" or "the one" is a myth and one of the main reasons we have such a high divorce rate.

If someone really was "your other half" or "the one" and you lost them then there would be no chance for happiness and how scary would it be if someone was YOUR "other half" but you weren't THEIRS? This feeling that someone is "your other half" is a little trick our DNA plays on us. That's right; millions of years of evolution have resulted in human's brains being hard wired to cause us to feel that way about other people from time to time in order to insure the survival of the species. Think about how many people you know (possibly you yourself) who have been in a relationship with someone and thought THIS IS THE ONE, THEY ARE PERFECT FOR ME. Then after the relationship end they think "HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN SO STUPID/BLIND? That idiot was SOOO not right for me!" Well it happens to everyone because nature needs for us to feel that strongly and be "blinded" by love long enough for us to have a good chance of procreating. Evolution is not a quick as science. The PILL and other means of contraception have only been around for a few decades and so we're still feeling "blinded by love" long enough for us to have a good chance of creating another human - without birth control. After a period of time our brains say, "OK, we'd have a baby by now if we were going to so it's time to stop making this person such a dummy". Then we "wise up", the "fog of love" clears up and see the other person for "who they REALLY are", and the relationship ends. We think we'll never be happy again and we're not UNTIL we meet the NEXT "other half".

So realize that all your happiness comes from WITHIN your brain. It does not come from your "other half". If you find yourself feeling like someone is "the one" just remember that's a trick your body is playing on your brain. Once you understand what’s going on with this notion of "your other half", and you realize that your happiness comes from within not from someone else, you'll be free to realize that there are literally thousands of people who you could be happy with. There is not ONE "other half" there are THOUSANDS of them.

Answer 2

I don't believe that another person can be your half (except if you are siamese twins). A relationship is a collaberation between any two individuals. If the relationship is an exceptionally good one (the person concerned knows your likes and dislikes before you know them and manages to pick out the perfect gift for you , knows when you are happy or sad etc...) I would put it down as two individuals with a perfectly good understanding of one another. You can get close to a person and eventually understand them and vice versa, but to make them your other half would be to murder your individual spirit and set yourself up for disappointment when at some point, they do not display automatic and telepathic knowledge of your every move. Respect the other person's individuality and have them respect yours , encourage one another and such collaberations will be useful as well as successful.

Answer 3

Having thought I found my other half MANY times, but having now truly found him, I can say this:
He loves me no matter what, for all my quirks, issues, and problems. His strengths are my weaknesses and vice-versa. And we're committed to making this work, there is no walking out or ending it because, who would we go to?
I know that sounds kinda 'Briget Jones' but it's true. Its so much more than a feeling, its a *knowing*...and it is knowing in your heart and your head, not just your heart. I KNOW he's the one I was meant to be with it :)

Answer 4

It is not something to understand it is a feeling.

Answer 5
