Fast forward a year or so, he ended up getting his current wife pregnant. We continued to talk here in there with the occasional check in over the years, and he reached out to me last year saying how much he loves me and always has and that I am his soulmate. I think I was in love with the idea of a fairytale love. He then went to jail for 6 months and ever since he has been out, I have seen him resorting to his old ways...he thinks he can do whatever he wants and talk to whoever he pleases and he would always pressure me to have a threesome and let him have another woman. I told him I am not about that life...never have been, never will. He knows I am insecure and have been cheated and lied to in the past, yet he continues to do things that I have told him upset me. I just feel as if he doesn't care about me at all.
Be wary when people use the word soulmate. Also, pay attention to actions over words. When actions don't match the words, there's a problem. Don't be in love with the fairytale. Be aware of what is actually happening.
