This is an even more cynical route, but I’d also argue that relationships are actually quite about settling. (Gasp) That’s not so say one is not “in love,” but I hold that there’s always someone better out there and even someone better for us, but we end up making a pact with one of said people who we’re in love with and learn to ridiculously appreciate.

Cynical perhaps, but I think those cute long-term couples are those who actually recognize the silly imperfections of our little love system, the strain it puts on us over time, and the recognitions necessary to keep the joys up. Maybe there are also those people who are just inhuman and thus perfect, but I think a lot goes on behind the scenes in the ones we tend idealize.

So to me, the truth in this regard is dirty, but love is a little dirty to be beautiful.

I have found that “soul mate” is the term jerks use to brake up. …as in ” i like you But you’re just Not my soul mate”

You had me at acrimony. I realize that’s in the title, so you had me pretty early. Love the cartoons.

The way I look at it, each one of us is a unique expression of Soul/Self/Source and, as such, we are already Soulmates. When my sweet husband came into my life almost a decade ago, via internet, I explained to him that I was already whole and happy; that it wasn’t his responsibility to make me anything; and that I was ready to share my journey and be happier with a partner. At 20, I definitely bought into the idea of being incomplete without a partner; at 50 I knew I’ve always been complete. I like the latter state of being more! xoxoM

For sure soul mates are not real. You made a much more convincing argument here than I ever could have. I was wondering the other day, how many people actually do spend the majority of their life alone. I used to think everyone found someone, but I think in this era people don’t just get married for the sake of getting married. People are a lot more picky and will wait for perfection. The next thing they know, they’re 40 still trying to find their first long term relationship. The worst thing about it is there’s nothing wrong with them, really, other than a few personality flaws.

I also think the idea of loving one person so strongly throughout your lifetime is a little…I don’t know the word for it. The point is I think it’s possible to love more than one person. People grow apart. People go in separate directions. People change. And the person who might be perfect for you may change every few years. It’s romantic for sure to think you’re so close to another person that you might be soul mates. On the other end, I know way too many adults who thought that way then they get to a certain age and realize they’re not as happy as they could be. But I also think the reason we all die one day is because we do enough evil to the point where we deserve it.

I feel the same way. The trick is to maintain that level empathy always. Difficult for all of us. Beautiful post.

Wow, I’d take that as huge compliment. I think misunderstood villains are the coolest dudes in animated films. Them and the crazy side characters. Which are you??? Have you watched Wreck-it Ralph? Maybe you’d like it.
