Soul Mates are Soul Mates Real?

I hate the word/phrase Soul Mate. I worked with one woman who all the time saying she was looking for her "soul mate".

I think that wording is stupid. I think soul mates are friends you have for years. It would be nice to be "best friends" with your gay lover but straight people I think have this problem too. Look at the divorce rate that straight people have. Look at gay relationships they seem not to last either.

I think it is time to stop saying soul mate or we should change the meaning!
