Not your soulmate

I said once before that most people are married to someone else's soulmate and after laughing through a conversation I still firmly believe this to be true. I know a lot of married couples, but I only know a few happily, passionately still wake up in love with their spouse couples. The rest fall somewhere between comfortably miserable and fearfully comfortable. You know the ones that are unhappily staying because they don't want the other to possibly find happiness and the ones afraid to go because they might not find anyone else. They'd rather be lonely in their marriage than alone...either way they are holding someone else's soulmate hostage because they are to fearful of true love. It's been traded for the children who by the way recognize your misery and silently pray that one of you will just walk away or sold out to the house and cars; you know the line..."his paycheck comes home." Did you really just waste your only life on someone you barely like; instead of living to be loved?
