If you had the choice of marrying your soulmate and having no friends or having lots of friends but no soulmate, which would you choose?

I'd choose my soulmate.

Cathie, 53
Novi, MI USA

Probably the soulmate.

Aly, 17

That's a tough question. I am deeply in love with the man to whom I am married - we have fun, we have lots in common, we have a good life, but he is not my soulmate. However, I have several friends - two of whom are male - that I consider to be kindred spirits. So I guess I would choose having lots of friends, but not being married to my soulmate.

I'd like to think so. I try, but who knows?

Judy, 62

That's tough. Because without friends, life would be boring, and lonely. Yet, your soulmate? Well, if and when and ever if you do meet your soulmate, how could you let go of the friends you had
known in your life for the Soulmate?? I would have to say yes to lots of friends in my life. I have met my soulmate, and he is gone, in someother city......sometimes soulmates are just a ache in you heart...............but friends are a daily doses of different lifestyles, to laugh,cry and feel with. Soulmates when chosen, can be an ominous life.

That would depend on if you knew he/she was your soulmate or not. But if i had to choose, i'd go for the non-soulmate guy and having friends. you can always learn to love him like he really IS your soulmate ;)

I think I would chose soulmate. That person is your best friend and love. Life would be pretty bleak without some other friends to brighten it up with though.

As far as I'm concerned "soulmate" is a rather windy noun. I'd prefer to have many friends, my mate first among them.

Jill, 61
Saylorsburg, PA USA

tough one... I'd stick with the friends, but not because I feel like I need friends. I have a few very close friends in particular that I would never give up and if that meant losing my "soulmate" then so be it.

Life is never that black and white. I also can't imagine a soulmate who is not also a very good friend.

Jane, 63
West Linn, OR USA

If forced to make such a choice, I'd choose friends over the soulmate.

Felicia, 37
Lowell, MA USA

My husband is a wonderful guy but (*sigh*) he's not my soulmate. So I can't imagine what it would be like to be married to your soulmate. So I'll have to say I'd rather have friends.

Reba, 57
Gaithersburg, MD USA

Questions like this are why I would never want to live in a parallel universe.

assuming you believe in the idea of a soulmate.....my idea of a soulmate is someone who is your best friend too, who makes you feel complete, etc....i would definitely go with my soul mate

Cara, 19
Valparasio, IN USA

Haven't I made that choice already? Just kidding. I DID marry my soulmate, and he's my best friend. And my second best friend is my mom, so I don't really see how I could marry my soulmate and have no friends. I admittedly haven't seen as much of my third best friend since I got married, but she's been busy with school and I've been busy with other stuff. And I do have other friends who I like to see, but I can live without seeing them all the time. So, given all that stuff, I'd marry my soulmate!

Karen, 23
Ames, IA USA

I would choose to have a soulmate with no friends.However, I believe that your soulmate is your best friend! So who needs other friends.

Stephanie, 27
TX USA

i have lots of friends. I knew I should've chosen the damn soulmate.

A-Dog, 20
Eugene, OR USA

I married my soulmate when I was a teenager. We divorced. I have married twice since and the first one is still my soulmate. It's a feeling you can't describe. Altho I have a good marriage I prefer my friends.

Laney, 60
TX USA

I would chose marrying my soulmate.

Tam

Right now I'd take either one.

Ryan, 29
Riedlingen GERMANY

Soulmate.

Fisch, 47
Preston, CT USA

I don't think I could ever give up all my friends for one person. That seems a little ridiculous, even for love. I'm happy right where I am thank you!

Tracy, 24
Ocean City, NJ USA

If you had the choice of marrying your soulmate and having no friends or having lots of friends but no soulmate, which would you choose? Marry my soulmate. Ideally, whoever I marry should be someone that I could be content spending the rest of my life with, regardless of if I'm surrounded with friends or not. Besides, he should be my best
