Dear Joe,
I am engaged to be married to my girlfriend of two years. But I’m also in love with someone else, who unfortunately is married. When I look at my fiance I think,

Joe these useless weekend posts are mostly profound thought camouflaged as humor. You have a Gift.
Very funny, interesting and the main information is also correct. I am a psychologist and I also do phone crisis couneling. The one topic I really hate to discuss is when a caller comes up and says “well my soul mate….” It only means one thing and It always means the same thing which is how can my soul mate become a non-soul mate. Like any marriage doesn’t have trouble? Like it’s only work when you marry your non-soul mate? Stupid! You are right you marry your choice and you work it out.
I have observed two things about “Soulmates”:
1) Your SOULMATE! is never the one you’re married to.
2) Nothing triggers an “OOOOOOOO!!! MY SOULMATE!!!” reaction in a woman like a compulsive womanizer, serial adulterer, or abusive creep.
I don’t know which feminist it was that convinced men we women want to marry a “sensitive guy,” but I’d sure like to kick her … Be a man, cut through the crap, make your choice, and stick with it!
(I am so forwarding this to my husband — he’ll love it!)
If she would cheat WITH you, she will cheat ON you.
JK is obviously the cheatin’ kind because he’s harboring la-la land thoughts about one (unavailable)woman while promised to another.
Grow up!
Anytime I hear the term “soul-mate” or “one can’t choose who one falls in love with,” I just want to vomit!
My grandparents never spoke that way.
I suggest JK read “Pligim’s Regress” by C.S. Lewis. And watch some Clint Eastwood movies…
PS~ I have experience in this realm, so don’t feel sorry for the sop.
So you got this from John Kerry back before Heinz died in that aircraft accident right?
I honestly do believe in soul-mates, and I can say with some certainty that I married mine. By soul-mate, I mean the person you are spiritually designed for. In other words, I believe God had a plan when he made us, and he knew who we would best be compatible to. It’s just our responsibility to figure out who it was that he had in mind. Note here that your soul-mate in this context is the person God has chosen for you, rather than the person you have chosen for yourself. Given God’s (well documented) view of marriage, I think the Mrs. that JK is pining for is obviously out of the running.
Please do your fiance a huge favor and call off the engagement. Better now than 2 years from now when you are going through a nasty divorce or you are breaking her heart because she caught you in an affair.
Please don’t put her through this. You may hurt her for a time but in the end she will be better off!
