Can a person meet their partner in life, like the one they are meant to marry and have kids with but later on meet a person who is your soul mate who is someone you can't stop thinking about and vice versa, the one you definitely click with and mesh perfectly together? I think rarely do people find both in the same person and I think it is common that people meet their meant to be but never their real soul mate. Sorry if this all sounds confusing. I'm not sure if I'm explaining it well. Personally, I think there are many people that can be your meant to be, the one you share a house with and have children but then I think there is your soul mate which is harder to find but when you do, things just click instantly, like a physical shock in your system and maybe this person is one who may have previous life experiences with as well as future.
I don't believe in soulmates or "the one" or "meant to be" as though fate were involved. I do think there are many people who are suited for us. Seven billion humans aren't the product of soulmates and special snowflakes meant just for one person. If that were true, odds are that your soulmate lives in China, not in your immediate proximity. The life you make together and the people you become--that's what is important.

I believe a person has many soul mates in many different forms of relationships, not just romantic. I also believe that the love of your life and your soul mate are not necessarily the same person.
If they are, that means I am done and have been since my LH died in 2008 when I was 34. I also think you can have a life partner who is not meant to be anything more than your best friend.
There are some people you will love more than others. If you are lucky enough to snag the ONE you've had the highest degree of love for, then you've got your soul mate.
I believe in soulmates, I just don't believe that because someone is your soulmate it means they are meant to be with you forever. I think sometimes you meet someone and something is different..you connect in a strong way even at first, you feel like you've known them and were meant to meet them..I think these people come into our lives however for a reason, to teach us something.
One of my most profound and ultimately painful relationships was IMO a soulmate relationship...I don't want to get into what I was going through at the time, but I do feel he was sent to me at a crossroads in my life, for a specific reason.....after the lessons were learned, we were (IMO) meant to separate, I didn't need him anymore (although I thought I did at the time).

I don't know if I believe in soulmates, or 'the one', but I always felt my boyfriend & I should be together. We dated years ago, parted ways, had other relationships, children... we have gotten back together and going strong. Now he says things like "We are supposed to be together".
