Nope. I believe relationships are give-and-take. - JaxSean Jun 29, 13:44
Yep. -- nm - MDH Jun 29, 13:44
Not in terms of 'destiny'. I think there are people who are great matches for other people. If you can find them you're that much ahead of the game. -- nm - Diva Jun 29, 13:41 2

  - actually, that's not a bad analogy for the quality of a relationship... -- nm - znufrii Jun 29, 13:42
not for at least 8 years -- nm - Remlik Jun 29, 13:39
I also think people who leave happy relationships to find their soul mate are dumb. - Inigo Jun 29, 13:38 9
- if they leave, maybe they weren't happy? -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 13:40 2
  - I think Inigo is saying they don't realize they are leaving a happy relationship, except in hindsight. (nm) - musubi Jun 29, 13:42 1
    - they deserve what they get. -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 13:43
- i don't think i've ever heard of this. *unhappy* relationships sure. -- nm - kare Jun 29, 13:40 2
  - I don't think it happens in real life often. But it's a running theme in romantic comedies. -- nm - Inigo Jun 29, 13:41 1
    - oh, that is true. -- nm - kare Jun 29, 13:43
- grass is always greener -- nm - znufrii Jun 29, 13:39 1
  - "Bitch had sumpin' that turned my Johnson GREEN!" -- nm - TWuG Jun 29, 13:40
- Sometimes people just want more -- nm - con_carne Jun 29, 13:39
No. Obviously some couples are more compatible than others, but soulmates, destined to be together? No -- nm - Roger More Jun 29, 13:37 14
- i'm not really sure i'm on board with the destiny bit either. i guess i believe in the context of being an absolutely ideal match for - kare Jun 29, 13:38 13
  - I know what you mean - my own relationship is built on a string of coincidences. But everyone has to work at their relationship, even highly compatibl - Roger More Jun 29, 13:46 1
    - oh sure. -- nm - kare Jun 29, 13:46
  - ok, I don't believe in ideal matches. -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 13:44 10
    - That's kind of whacked. With the sheer number of people and personalities in the world, everybody's got at least 1 ideal match, they probably have - Trish Jun 29, 13:47 4
      - I don't believe in ideals or perfection in anything that concerns humans. :) -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 13:48 3
        
        Yes you do -- nm - amoxy Jun 29, 13:49 2
        
        huh -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 13:50 1
        
        ? -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 13:50
    - but you believe in soulmates?! -- nm - kare Jun 29, 13:45 4
      - maybe I understand it differently. I've met very few people I was highly compatible with. - loosilu Jun 29, 13:47 3
        
        i think you can be perfect for one another without being perfect. you know? -- nm - kare Jun 29, 13:47 2
        
        I guess. it's kind of splitting hairs, isn't it? -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 13:48 1
        
        maybe. i didn't really think so. -- nm - kare Jun 29, 13:51
Not in the "love at first sight" kind of way. More a "while together, two people grow to love and appreciate - TWuG Jun 29, 13:37
Yep. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 29, 13:36
I used to. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 29, 13:35
~just let your soul glow~ sure, why not -- nm - CQ Jun 29, 13:35
no. I hate to be a downer but it always seems so convenient that almost everyone finds their soulmate so close to their home - dogbert183 Jun 29, 13:34 1
- hey, mine lived 30 minutes away. that was a pain in the ass. -- nm - kare Jun 29, 13:37
multiples, i like this - - 'lia Jun 29, 13:33 3
- that was a juicy post back there on b2. :) -- nm - kare Jun 29, 13:37 2
  - beyonces "irreplaceable" is a current earworm right now - 'lia Jun 29, 13:49 1
    - laughing. -- nm - kare Jun 29, 13:52
I believe that relationships are like draft prospects. Most don't work out like you want while some are blue chippers. - David Jun 29, 13:33 2
- hee. :) -- nm - kare Jun 29, 13:36
- [deleted]
Of course. - Trish Jun 29, 13:33 4
- this really is good advice. -- nm - kare Jun 29, 13:39
- You are right in front of me. -- nm - Redmond on a phone Jun 29, 13:35 2
  - I will hurt you. Bad. -- nm - Trish Jun 29, 13:36 1
    - Stop prejudging me!!!!!! -- nm - Redmond on a phone Jun 29, 13:37
I think it's a pretty big spectrum. You have a small percentage of people you'd really connect with, and a similar number that you'd really hate. --nm - Inigo Jun 29, 13:33
I don't, but I'll allow that it's possibly because I have not met that person yet -- nm - con_carne Jun 29, 13:33
Sure, but that there are potentially so many that the word is virtually meaningless. nm - Dignan Jun 29, 13:33 1
- Yup.. (nm) - musubi Jun 29, 13:35
Not really, but I believe there are varying degrees of compatibility, and high degree can be just .. astonishing. -- nm - mara Jun 29, 13:32 4
- Did I ever play you the song I wrote on my ukulele? - Dignan Jun 29, 13:35 1
  - *laughing* -- nm - mara Jun 29, 13:39
- *nodding* -- nm - kelly Jun 29, 13:34
- Agreed! *holds your hand* -- nm - con_carne Jun 29, 13:33
No -- nm - Redmond on a phone Jun 29, 13:32
IMO, your IM contradicts itself. I agree with the second part of it. -- nm - Spawn Jun 29, 13:32 2
- there are multiple souls that could match with yours. see? -- nm - kare Jun 29, 13:33 1
  - I don't call that "mates". Mating, maybe. -- nm - Spawn Jun 29, 13:34
[deleted]
yes and no. - znufrii Jun 29, 13:32 1
- *wipes tear from eye* -- nm - dawson Jun 29, 13:33
I am pretty sure I have had two different soulmates - amoxy Jun 29, 13:32 3
- I said I was sorry, I never intended to break your heart. (nm) - musubi Jun 29, 13:32 2
  - Mets fans crack me up - amoxy Jun 29, 13:42
  - it was the bad spelling? -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 29, 13:36
Yes. Can -- nm - lileve Jun 29, 13:31 1
- FEK!: Can't he be here now? -- nm - lileve Jun 29, 13:32
ditto. (remember TT soulmates?) -- nm - Andie Jun 29, 13:31 4
- like, "we're TT living in sin soulmates!" ? -- nm - kare Jun 29, 13:31 3
  - heh. and i swore spamlet was my overall TT soulmate. -- nm - Andie Jun 29, 13:38 1
    - hussy. (nm) - musubi Jun 29, 13:40
  - Can I be Jack to your Janet and Chrissie? -- nm - amoxy Jun 29, 13:32
sure, and agree with your IM. -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 13:30 1
- i've always believed it, but now i *really for sure* believe it. :) -- nm - kare Jun 29, 13:32
