Is there someone for all of us?

Chances are, does every one get to find the one person who would make them happy? Do you think that there is really one person who is destined to be our partner? Or it is not even possible that everyone gets someone to be in their life and be happy together? How come others are happy with love life and why are others not even close to that happiness?

unfortunately, not every soul has a soulmate. not everybody will live to have a partner. some people are not 'destined' to be with a partner. it maybe frustrating or depressing but happiness is always a choice. as my son asked, "Ma, why do most people think that a single individual (not married) would not be or is not happy? That is not true at all for everybody."

bingskee, I believe you said it best! After two failed marriages, and three failed relationships, I have finally found that I should have stayed alone! After going through all of this, I am so happy and content, that I feel I should have always been like this! But at least I can say that I at least tried to be like everybody else! The fact is, I am not like anybody else, I like being independent, free, helping others, entertaining others, without interference from the binding chains of a relationship ! I have finally found true peace, and understanding of the way life should be for me!

Good for both of you that you have found happiness, with or without partners. And yes, as you said, musicman... it is a choice to be happy and it should not depend on other people - a partner in particular. sometimes though i feel it could have been better... but here i am again.. okay i won't say anymore! haha i guess this is what the norm has done to me! he he

hello to musicman! wow, 2 failed marriages. that is sad to be undergoing relationship failures to learn that you are not meant to have a partner. i did not see it that way.

It's destiny.I think. At the right time we met and will fell into love. The most urgent is to take the the most beautiful scenery,the deepest wound was the most real emotions!

hi there. You meant when it is in our fate to be with someone, then we will be... but mostly.. we should work on fulfilling our destiny, right? even if we are destined to be a great person, if we would lie around our house bumming and not do anything, i think we would just feel totally wasted and would just let the opportunity slip. maybe this is the same when it comes to love?

Hi chiyosan! I always wonder if there really is one for each person. But when you think about it, there is not. Just look at the statistics, there are more females than males. There will always be someone who will age and die alone, to put it bluntly and insensitively. But then again, imploring the remaining romanticism in me lol, maybe there is one person for each of us and there's just this big chance that we don't find that person in our lifetime. And if we're given a chance to live again, we are also given a chance to find that person in that second lifetime.

haha well you are correct there. Statistically, I think you do have a basis. I sure hope that everytone does have someone to grow old with. Its just very difficult or painful to think that you could be alone when time comes... that i really hope not to happen. i think i have always grown so dependent on someone.. especially a partner =( which is bad...

There are still people who are living alone and they are better that way. I heard that each one of us have a designated partner that God gave us but some still remain single. Maybe they were not meant to be together in this world and they will meet each other in their life in heaven.

that is really a sad truth... there are people who does live a single life.. but i would refuse to believe they are truly happy being alone. somehow i know that in their hearts they still wished they have not chosen to be alone in their life. I really am afraid that this will happen to me. I am praying and is constantly wishing that I would be able to find my life partner.

I think all of us are destined to meet the one that will truly make us happy. It is true for me. When i was young (in my high school and college years) I have never met anyone that that would become my girlfriend and eventually to share my life with. But during the time that I started working, there is someone that has captured my eyes and the rest as we say it is history. Now she is part of my life and we now have our own daughter.

That is a wonderful story you have atprudent. You sure are very lucky to have found your mate in heaven and you have your daughter. I am not sure if i would ever be able to say or share the same... nothing is final yet as i am not married. I just wished I would be able to find my soulmate too and live with him and be happy with him.

Yes...I believe God has prepared someone for us...to be our partner in life...He will let us meet this person at the right time,place and moment...some get hurt or unhappy because God has always purpose on us...it could be to teach us of an important lesson that we must learn...or even make us strong persons to prepare us for His plan.

I think there is someone out there for everybody who deserves it. People who lie and cheat and do bad things in there life has someone out there for them but they probably will never meet them because of there bad choices or if they do meet them they wont get to stay with them because of the bad ways. But I think if you are a good person the one will find you someday, it might not be today or tomorrow but you will find them when the time comes.

Thanks Sassygirl. I always believed that each one of us have partners made for us in heaven. I thought It is easy to find love and that love is just everywhere... but then well its not true because it is hard to find true love, after all.

In my own belief, I agree. I am sure that there is always someone meant for us. Anyway, about what you've said that why are there couples who are happy and why there are not, I can only say that maybe they're not compatible with each other but they love each other. I have some friends who has their partner. Some are happy but some are not. Another reason maybe why some are not happy is because the love is not there and its slowly fading. Well, for me no matter what happens as long I'm with my love I will always be happy so I guess its the feeling that is not that strong that makes them an unhappy couple.

I used to only think of love as such that when you are with someone you love, that is enough especially if he loves you back... but then love often becomes vague or clouded when one has committed a mistake to the other. that love becomes really painful...

I think mine is yet to be born. Those who remained single through out their lives were destined to be that way. I disagree with the notion that when we fail to get what we want in life, we blame fate or destiny. I do accept the fact that there are circumstances in our lives that are beyond our control, no matter how strong-willed we are.

Yeah, I believe there is someone for all of us. And why do much people seems never found one? Because life isn't only about destiny, it is also about our choices and efforts. Or let's say, destiny exists at the end of person's efforts. Never blame the destiny/fate if you haven't found one; just always give your best efforts. Because by the time you blame the destiny, actually you already "make" a choice to keep your life stagnant and you "decide" that indeed that's how life works for you. And as a result, till the end you haven't met someone..

thank you varier. I think your answer is really the most sensible one i have read so far. Letting destiny work for us and almost always letting go of the person we thought is meant for us... because it does not feel right at some point... and then expect fate to give us someone new... and hope it is the person. I guess it is not how life is made, and it is not how we should live our lives. If its meant to be, then we should make it happen... We have to work on our relationship and not expect fate, or destiny, or anything else to come and chance the course of our lives.
