Well, as I married at the young age of 24 to a 17-year-old girl, had kids, broke off my parent's support and anyone else for that matter... still happily living with the same girl after more than a decade.
Then seeing full-grown "adults" do worst... I can give an opinion that, age really doesn't matter... as I have seen kids age of 10 decide better.
If there is such thing as a soulmate, then thinking about it is "useless", the two of you will connect no matter what... the only thing that would make it worst is, thinking about it, questioning it, doubting it, being human.
I have seen relationships that are made for each other.. broken "just because", then regret it their whole lives.
If there is a testament to what a soulmate should be, in my humble opinion:
"It is the one person left standing by your side when everything else goes to hell."
Thank you, everything here is but my opinion taken from my experiences.
I am touched by your response to my post, @khoola. I had my hands full few days back with so many things I could not respond immediately.
You are correct and I appreciate that you and your partner are still together after more than a decade together. I cry sometimes when. I see relationships that should thrive break apart 'just because'.
"The one person left standing by your side when everything else goes to hell" is a brilliant definition of a soulmate. Thank you for sharing your experience here. 😃
Hello @khoola. When you say this, it is absolutely the truth of what I believe:
"It is the one person left standing by your side when everything else goes to hell."
I have had one of those persons as a husband for the past 50 years.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this topic.
