Have people been telling you he's just a boyfriend? How rude. How would they know, anyway? So I won't tell you that. I will, however, tell you this: Just because someone is your soulmate, that doesn't necessarily mean that a long-term live-in relationship will work out. It doesn't even necessarily mean that a relationship will work out in the long term in any form. So while totally respecting and emphasizing with how you're feeling right now, I would caution you that if people are reminding you to slow down and think with your cold, rational skeptic brain, instead of just with your emotions, that's probably advice worth heeding. I wish now that I had not married my soulmate (one of my soulmates, as it turns out...it is possible to have more than one) right out of college. It was pretty much a Bad Thing all around. On the other hand, that was what brought me to Maryland, which is where I met Tom, so I guess it wasn't a complete waste.

The irony? I've given her the exact same advice, and tried to follow it just as much. Conclusion? Plan remains unchanged. Indeed, the conclusion came to be even before the plan formulated and started going into effect.
And from what I've gathered, it's not that others have told her to be rational about it (aside from myself), as much as it is they've been upset about the collapse of the previous relationship and the rise of a new one. Em would have to elaborate. I can only speak from my perspective and take on the information that I've received given our circumstances.
But I have something of a unique perspective on this, and I'm certainly not what one would call an 'unbiased point of view.'

Liz, thanks for the advice. I'm taking it as rationally as I am able to believe it or not... And thats not saying much for me. But its an effort at least. Are we talking about Steelwraith? In your comment? And to be honest with you Liz, well.... Hey you got a free 20 mins sometime this week? I need to bend your ear and get your prespective on magical sex matters. (if you think about you'll know what I'm refferring to) Laters I got a final to take!
