The next time someone refers to me as their "soul mate" I will run for the hills! I've had 6 serious relationships. 3 were "normal", respectful relationships that just didn't work out and ended amicably. The other 3 were with men who said early on that we were "soul mates" and then went on to be full of jealousy, possessiveness and control and left me feeling completely dazed and confused. So much for soul mates!!!!
