> When I was young, I always dreamed I would find a guy who would be my soul-mate, who could share everything with me and we would know everything about each other and grow together with a family etc etc. It makes me sad to think about that young me.
I think a lot of us want something like that, but it isn't all that realistic. We've come to expect so much of spouses - lovers, best friends, "soul mates," partners in childraising, effective business partners in running a household... I don't think there's any shame in acknowledging that it's awfully hard to package all that into any one person!
