I'll need some help with this.
March 9, 2018 at 9:54 am
I can't find a proper word for this. Personally I don't believe in soul mates, it seems to dull to me and it can be very hard to get out of a relationship with the ideea of a ' soul mate' , I mean you would have to consider that your ex may have been the one and this kimd of thinking could make you act stupid.
What I do consider to be true is compatible personallitys or complementary, a concept wich gives you more space and gives every relationship something unique.
My problem is that I can't find a proper wording for this , something more poetic. Do you have any ideeas ?

It could work if I'm speaking about a future wife. But I'm thinking about something to replace " compatible personalitys" and also to be similar with it, it could be replaced with akin thinking but I'm trying to find something better.

I also don't believe in soul mates mainly because I don't believe we have souls or that they could be connected but I kinda like true love when thinking sappy because it's not "one" true love it's just real love.

Even if I considered it to be a metaphor to a predestined person whic you will end up with I don't find it appealing, quite a cynical ideea. I think people came with this ideea because of proximity, the person one calls a soul mate now will be that until the next person pops up.
I do believe in true love, but I don't think it is limited and can be only experienced with just one special person, every interaction is unique .
I don't think I explained it right because you seem to be taking it as I said one person can only be your true love. I said it's NOT "One" meaning I don't think it's specific to a person. I just think that when you love someone like that it is true love but you can have true love with more than one person. I like kindred spirits but to me that is for any kind of relationship not specific to being "in love" like my bff and I are kindred spirits because we are so much alike and I understand her. My husband and I are very much alike in a lot of ways and I know I have never been in love with anyone else like I am with him. I don't think we are connected in anyway I just think we work really well together and we truly are in love. Hence the true love. If he dies though I'm not going to say I will never love again though. I feel awful for saying it but I'm sure there could be someone out there that I could be in just as deep of love with.
