| No, I don't. I'm quite a romantic guy, in real life, but I can't help thinking that if circumstances had turned out otherwise, I would have found and been very happy with another mate--despite the fact that my wife and I share a very deep love. The lust is pretty good, too, but that's none of your business, so please, stop bringing it up.
Thanks.
The idea of soulmates was one of the sillier populist beliefs that arose during the Romantic Period of the 19th century in Western Europe. It has no earlier basis, so all claims (and I've read some amazing ones) of "Hindu reincarnations swearing to be with each other through the aeons" is blatherskite.
