I voted other. I love my SO. A lot. But he is an ocean away and that isn’t going to change unless one of us wins the lottery. It’s really tough to have a soul mate that far away. I’ve tried breaking up with him because I want to share my life with someone I can actually be with more than 8 weeks out of the year. But then I miss him.
It’s been ten years. It feels like with him part-time or without him altogether, I am missing too much.
carnut, I feel for you.
I really don’t want to curse things by writing them down, but:
I initially dated her because she was cute and checked all my boxes, but though I found her attractive it wasn’t love at first sight for me.
Fifteen months on, and let’s just say we now have a padlock on the Ponte Milvio. A few weeks ago she was at her cousin’s wedding. She didn’t just catch the bouquet, she had it forcibly thrust into her arms by the bride. When she told me, all I could do was grin.
It’s been a tough year for both of us, for external reasons, but we’ve supported each other through the various crises, and things seem to be stronger because of that. We’re currently on different continents (my sympathies carnut) but I will move to be with her next year.
Having been burned badly by a person I thought was my soulmate, however, I don’t believe they exist, so chose option two. Regardless, right now I am one seriously lucky motherfucker.
I don’t believe in soul mates and I don’t like the wording of the second one so I picked the third.
I love him and he loves me. We accept eachother’s foibles and we have many of the same interests. Where we differ, we compliment each other. I’m happy.
