If You Discovered Your Soul-Mate Is Not The One You Are Presently With...Would You Leave?

Question

Assume such concept of a soul-mate exists...

Answer 1

This is a very good question. I'll start with the assumption that such a concept as soul-mate exists. Even so, there are so many different people on this planet; by comparison, our ability to meet and experience others will be so limited that--although you might be happier-- the "soul-mate" you think you've found has nearly no chance of being your actual 100% single, perfect-match SOUL-MATE (in fact, there's even a chance you and your actual 100% perfect-match soul-mate might not even speak the same language!)

As for leaving your current mate for what you think is your soul-mate, that's up to you. But really though, you should leave your mate because you need to (regardless of whether you found someone else and in that sense I really like neophyte's anecdote) and not because you think you found your soul-mate. What happens if, over time, you find an even more perfect soul-mate? Do you "trade up" again? It seems silly now but do you think it doesn't happen in real life today?

Or better yet, what happens if you've found the what you think is your soul-mate then your mate subsequently finds his/her soul-mate...and it's not you! Just because someone is perfect for you doesn't make you perfect for that person.

A better question to ask then is: If there was absolutely a 100% perfect-match soul-mate out there for you, what are the chances you would be able to find him or her? =)

Answer 2

could I be trustworthy with you? It seems such as you opened a door that did not could be opened it extremely is now left you asking questions you do not could be asking. you're in a sturdy marriage. You reported it your self, your husband is a sturdy guy. Being with a clean guy can not make issues any much less complicated because of the fact in some years, much less if he's only too plenty older than you, the 'sexual delight' you pronounced would be a void factor and you gets excitement from somebody which you likely can do issues with, like your modern husband. There comes a evaluate our lives the place we could constantly close the door on the previous and look at the place we are actually. it is particularly plausible that your marriage has been suffering contained in the enthusiasm branch for the reason which you have been carrying the ex around with you. enable him pass. No factors, no goodbyes, only disappear or you will save going returned. as quickly as you do, you have the skill to freely and thoroughly love and dedicate your self to your husband. 24 years is a protracted time, do not throw it away on a whim. wish this enables! God Bless!

Answer 3

Sorry to be so unromantic, but the concept of soulmate is more of a term for what used to be called a "crush". In my experience as a counselor, there are few situations that a person ends up better off, long term, by leaving a committed relationship for a whole 'nother set of problems. That's assuming you are married, or in a long term committed relationship. If you're just dating, it's may be a different story. After 37 years of marriage, I find I am married to my true soul mate. And even though there are ups and downs, there are tremendous benefits in sticking it out long term. Oooops, long answer. Short answer, no.
peace

Answer 4

Oh, I've discovered that time and time again. And then I realize they are really my soul mate. Then I realize they couldn't possibly be! I mean how could my soul mate like brussels sprouts? Then they bring home pistachio fluff, and I realize we were meant to be together forever, until, she put up that horrible bathroom wall paper! Argh! I gotta "be" in there, you know! I guess what I am saying is that the idea of a soul mate is very romantic! The fact that there may actually be one out there for me, is no longer a quest. My luck is that I will someday bump into her, know it is her, and be frozen in indecision! Which may just be the best reaction that could happen!

Answer 5

Luckily, I don't have to make that choice.

I don't have to leave anyone.

And if I were married, probably not; marriage to me signifies you thought you found your soul-mate.

There are such things as bad marriages.

But, I would never tell someone to leave a relationship.

I know they might, but; I should never tell them that.

That would be hurting one person for sure and possibly three.

If you truly have found your soul-mate that is great.

If not, it is an all or nothing choice.

I would think on it.

Answer 6

I don't know, & lucky for me I really will never need to know. I am married to my best frind, lover & partner on my path for over 16 years now. I guess it would make him my soul mate. I was married once before for 5 years, we divorced & I was a single parent for 13 years before I married my husband. Yet, I left him for no one, & really did not date very much. I guess I just have no experience to offer about that kind of thing. I'm right now not even sure why I answered this Q. except you asked, & I like your Q. Thanks! *wink*
EDIT: I guess with all those numbers in there you guys have figured out I'm old. I remember when Moby Dick was a guppy, or tadpole or something>>>>>>>>>

Answer 7

If you aren't married and found someone else that fit the "soul-mate" description better than your current relationship then why not?

Answer 8

I believe in soul mates, but, to be honest, I don't think my wife is mine.
So what would I do if I met her, and knew she was "the one"?
I don't know.
Sorry I can't give you a more definative answer.

Answer 9

If you find your soul mate and you don't leave you will regret it forever! We only have one soul mate!
