I believe in the concept of a soulmate because of my experiences with LM. I have no idea if everyone has a soulmate or not; I only know that I do have one.
Prior to LM, I did not believe in soulmates. Instead I focused on the wonderful richness of having intense and meaningful love relationships with a variety of different people. I was polyamorous and happy with it (once I figured out what polyamory was!).
Being with LM changed that. I never made a conscious decision to stop being polyamorous; I slowly realized that everything and everyone else fell short of what I experienced with him -- no matter how much I loved them. Even now, more than two and a half years after LM's death, having pretty much come through my grieving process, I have a hard time imagining love, romance or sexual intimacy with anyone else -- even though sometimes I long for it more than I can say.
