My marriage wasn't perfect, but I loved her. She's gone now, and I'm raising my teenage daughter all by myself now.
Was she my soulmate? I don't know. We were together for so long that we finished eachother's sentences.
Too busy to date or too afraid, I'm not sure.
Is it worth the effort? Does my soulmate exist or is just another way we invented to torture ourselves.

actually i don't believe in soulmates. if it means to fall in love, well, then I have more than one. but i agree that after a while dating seems to be something doesn't worth to spend time. ypu start to think that nobody's that good enough to attract your attention.
but i still do believe that someday you'll meet someone again and you'll think that he/she will be worth any kind of effort. have you ever watched the movie "something's gotta give"? that movie made me believe that love could happen even when you're 60. i advice that movie to you, either it is possible to fall in love after so many years or you think that way just because Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaten are such good performers:)

I am so sorry to hear your case. I know how hard to bring up a child alone. Being a single parent isn't an easy job.
I think sometimes there will be happiness and unhappiness in the marriage. We just need to get over it. Sometimes I'll be sad due to my husband because he's careless. But you know nobody is perfect in the world. Everyone has his/her good and bad sides. We have to enlarge others' advantages and ignore their shortcomings.
In my opinion, it's still better to have a soul mate in your life. Although when I am frustrated with my marriage when I am mad to my husband, I would think single life is better. In the long term, having someone to be with you is still an advantage. You don't want to be alone when you are old. And you need to share your happy or sad moment with someone who is close to you. I think your soul mate is on the way and you will meet her in the future. Just remember to be considerate and understanding, so the relationship will last forever.

Thank you for your kind words. Your husband is a lucky man. I believe we go through our lives always trying to get somewhere fast. Unfortunately, before you know it, you're there, and you missed the beauty of the journey. Children grow up so fast and our truly precious. I'm glad I was & continue to be active in my child's life. As far as me is concerned, I'll keep a low profile and wait for something to come my way.
Thanks again for your encouragement.

i'm not sure if your ex-wife is your soul mate. not my call to say that:) but i do believe in soul mate and each of us have the perfect person who will love us unconditionally, whether we have or have not met that person. perhaps you will meet your soul mate in future, you never know. don't give up hope. take care:)
