Soulmates?

Is there a possibility that some soulmates are inherent and some are chosen?

Oy vey. This is a tough topic for me. I used to believe in soulmates. Well, technically, I still do but I've had a really hard time with this word. I have had 3 people swear that they were my soulmate and all 3 of them turned out to be not soulmate relationships but karmic relationships that became abusive in some way. It is very easy to confuse the two.

Karmic relationships are about kinetic attraction and unfinished business. They are often abusive and trying but if you can survive them, they usually teach you very valuable lessons in life and help you grow spiritually. If you meet someone and the attraction is almost undeniable and the need for them is like a drug, this could be a sign of a karmic relationship and not a soulmate relationship, especially if you start arguing right away. Yes, it's passionate. Yes, it's intense. Yes, it's incredible. But it's also emotionally devastating and will leave you with a giant crater where your heart used to be for a while afterward.

I've also heard that soulmate relationships can be quite challenging too because this person was designed to help you grow spiritually as well but in soulmate relationships, you grow together, you don't spend time tearing each other down.
