My first marriage was long term, but really was a disaster.  We had little in common, and he was a jerk. I didn't have the maturity to know what I wanted when i got married. I came from a HIGHLY dysfunctional home -- so of course my own marriage was dysfunctional too. It finally ended in divorce.
Years later I found a wonderful man -- a man that I would NEVER have thought would want ME. He was the most gentle, patient, compassionate, understanding & serene man I'd ever met - and yet he was as strong as a horse. We "dated" for 7+ years and finally married - and YES I think he was my soul mate -- we knew each others' thoughts. We finished each others sentences! I swear, it was a match made in heaven. Tragically, months after we were married, we found out he had terminal cancer ~ and he died 12 days before our first anniversary. But I'm SO grateful for the years I had with him. He really WAS my soul mate.
