Maybe Your Soul Mate Is That Woman’s Husband?
There is no marriage license in existence that can cause the soul to settle. Humans settle, but the soul is always looking for more.
“Oh god, please don’t. Don’t be nice to me. I’ve been sitting here complaining to you about my wife which is sleazy and low and not fair to you; it’s the oldest trick in the book.
Suddenly I’m looking down at myself, and I’m…how did I get here? Why didn’t I meet you sooner? What kind of a coward was I to marry her and not wait for you to show up?”
President Fitzgerald Grant III, Scandal
Romance is messy and laced with betrayal because us humans refuse to follow our hearts and unapologetically chase who and what we truly want. Through marriage and procreation we create permanent families with people who were meant to be temporary stepping stones to our soul mate. Or, perhaps this person was the one but…you get a little older, and you realize that more “ones” exist. Seriously, who the fuck brainwashed the world into believing that true love can only exist with one person for eternity?!
