This is a different type if confession for this site. But I am married with a family and I love my wife. However, my soulmate lives across the country, married with a family of her own. We both know we are each others soulmates as we had a chat recently about how it didn’t work and why we it had to be that way. She is my soulmate and I’ll always love her too but I’ll never be with her which is such a sad thing in my life. I’ve come to peace with that and I am happy with my wife and of course my family but, it ain’t my soulmate.

Its absolutely fine.
I had 3 friends who did 3 different things. posting here to help others
friend 1- 10 years into this, he got the church go into his head. confessed to wife. messy life since then. together and separation, therapy etc.
friend 2- went with soulmate. left wife. but after 5-6 years the guilt of breaking up each other families caught up with them. complex relationships with offsprings when they became teens and young adults who blamed the other for their family situation.
friend 3 - continued the platonic long distant relationship. meet up couple of times a year atleast. sometimes more. both families happy. This is the longest one as they both are grandparents now. he still tells me when we have a drink that she gives him strength in life.
choose your life
