Lol. Might be my problem. But I've been drinking more water lately so who knows.
At times I think I'm just going to who relates more to pets (if I ever find a place I can even have a pet). Thankfully my kids like me...most of the time...at least at the moment. Okay, to be fair, if it were up to my ex-husband we would still be married but he got a lot more of the benefits out of our marriage than I did so... I don't know. I'm probably too picky now. I'm not sure what I even want out of a relationship anymore, to be honest. They're so dang complicated.
IMHO, I think it's mainly down to a connection, and timing has a bit of play there as well. But as a "Soul Mate". I don't really think that is a real thing. First off, I don't think a "soul" is a real thing. And given that there are over 7 billion people on this planet, I think there are an abundance of people out there that would get along wonderful. Saying that there is only one magical person for you, just doesn't add up to me.
I think that if two people can find some common ground, they can grow to make a great relationship. In all and all. it takes two to tango, which also requires work, but. That kind of work is worth doing if it feels right.
