<p>“So my question is , do you believe in God? If you say no, how is it it that in this large earth with billions of people, you met your soul mate at your hs or college? Obviously there are more soul mates in the world.”</p>
<p>It just so happens that a whole host of random events put me in the position where I met my now-dh. If my father hadn’t taken a new job, my family wouldn’t have moved to a certain city. If they’d put me in private high school instead of public high school, I wouldn’t have met the boy who first got me interested in thinking about the college I ultimately went to. If I had chosen one of the other schools I got into, I wouldn’t have met my husband. If I’d joined a different sorority, I wouldn’t have known the girl who introduced the two of us when she and I were studying in her room. If I’d decided to go to the library that night instead and study with a different girlfriend, I’d never have met dh. Etc, etc, etc. It’s all quite random, IMO. </p>
<p>Who’s to say I couldn’t have been as happy or in love or had an equally nice life if one of those things changed and I wound up with a different person? I think it’s quite possible there are many, many people in the world and many, many situations I could have been quite happy with. I don’t believe in soulmates. Heck, for all I know, maybe my true soulmate is 20 years older (or younger, LOL) and lives in France and speaks only French and I’ll never meet him.</p>
