First of all, yeah, I found her, it's awesome :)
BUT!
It is my experience that 98% of those who talk about a "Soul Mate" are folks who are trying to legitimize their own polygamy and/or trying to talk their significant other in to a threesome. Like "Aww baby you KNOW you're my Soul Mate, so why don't we share our love with that Starbucks barrista who's always flirting with me by giving me extra nutmeg?"
Now don't get me wrong... those of you who are in polyamorous relationships, that's cool. I can dig it. To each his (and her) own, I always say! But to *me*, once you've found that one special real honest-to-gosh "The saints wept, the angels cried and God himself had to smile that the two halves had found each other to complete the whole" SOUL MATE... then all your needs are met. You don't need to assemble a Franken-Soulmate from the parts of several different lovers.
