Magic Forums

(Yay! I'm littering the forums again, lol.) So, I know what soul mates are according to the media. That there slightly closer then kindred souls. That it's 2 people whose love in a sence is immortal. They might have been lovers in there past lives, present and future or if you don't beileve in past lifes then you 2 are perfect for each other and whatever you think might happen when you pass, you 2 are together. What I'm asking however is the rarety of soul mates. I beileve in soul mates and can't truely think of anything better in the world then having your family, best friend and lover all rolled up into one! However, sadly I've never seen a pair of soul mates before. My whole family is full of people that married someone they have love for and care about but they aren't and weren't in love with them. (Yes, theres a huge differance between the 2.) Or they could name a whole list of other partners they'd rather be with. Or they've beat, cheated on there spouses and utterly just made the other feel like absolute shit... Sad but true and because of that they've utterly left relationships and marriage as a bitter taste in my mouth. I know that soul mates hav to be rare but how rare? Also, are soul mates created at the beginning or are they just 2 souls that eventually found each other and couldn't be seperated? To anyone who's TRUELY found there soulmates, I praise you. Or if you are happy with your partner even if they aren't your soul mate, I also congradulate you. I know there's not an exact answer for my question, so think of this as more of an open discussion of idea's and if possible experiences! :)
