Soul mates?

A guy I chat with on the Internet and I were discussing relationships.  The following was my personal contribution:

Who knows? Sometimes I think we just fall into stuff. Once in a while we luck out; more times than not we end up in trouble or just skate by major disaster. But then my meeting my husband when and how I did seems rather fated. Over 60. When I figured I would never meet Mr. Right.

 

I started looking a long, long time ago. My husband was under 10 years old. When I was forced to resign from the Air Force, he had only recently turned 10. So I was going to kiss a lot of frogs before he and I met on DN. And only because I was a paying member and knew who had checked out my profile. I engaged him in messages, and we finally went out about 3 weeks later. He had long before figured he'd never meet his guy and had mostly given up.

 

He took my having a Continental Viscount mahogany model on the mantle of the fireplace as a sign. (His late father worked for Continental years before, and he himself had always loved airlines and airliners) So we just started dating. At one point I broke up with him and immediately regretted it. We got back together a week later and have been together ever since.

 

Our house is filled with airliner models and pictures and memorabilia, and ship memorabilia (we both like ships) and vintage car models (we both like mid-century modern stuff). Even at 51, he has always loved old Hollywood movies and gossip and all that goes with it. We never fight or yell at one another. I make him laugh, a lot.

 

Maybe I have always been looking for that special buddy. I remember a guy I once knew who introduced me to his latest BF, only to tell me six months later that while they were great in bed together, when they finally got out of bed, they found they had nothing in common and broke up. [My husband and I] hug and kiss all the time and tell one another "I love you" every day, and usually more than once each day. And we mean it. We watched the soul mate episode of Friends yesterday afternoon and we both do believe we are one another's soul mate. We have always believed it. We travel very well together and love going to Comic Con.

 

I have never been happier with anyone, and if anyone believes this is a cosmic union, I would not doubt them.
