I don’t know why it’s not posting my full reply 🙁 I’ll try again later.
I agree with Anita. I do not believe soul mate exist and I think this idea is one of the big issues in many dating situations.
“I would agree with your buddhist friend on accepting her and her beliefs, but would elaborate on it: do accept that she will leave you when she gets that … feeling for another man. Can you do that? Truly accept and have peace with what she told you she will do: leave you when she gets a feeling for another man? Can it be okay with you to be with her until then and then see her go?”
I also think this is important. For if she truly believes this then if she ever feels like she meets her “soul mate” I believe she will not hesitate to leave you to be with him. Your choice if that’s a risk you can live with.
Though I run this site, it is not mine. It's ours. It's not about me. It's about us. Your stories and your wisdom are just as meaningful as mine.
