I am recently divorced and now I have this incredible desire to seek out my soulmate. But so afraid of finding someone not true, that I can't ever open myself to them. Why can't I just be happy with what and where I am at now.

welcome to the boards. I have found that love finds you when you are not pursuing it so ardently. Do other things, and keep busy with your hobbies. Join yahoo personals if you are inclined, that's where I met my current boyfriend. much luck!

Purplezen gives good advice, If you live your life true to who you are, that love will be attracted to who you really are, appreciate you, not some image you think you have to portray to get a guy.
For example, me and my hubby met in a nut house, we didn't have any expectations of each other and we knew each other's baggage. We are as happy as peas in a pod, and know just what to do to support each other. There is something beautiful about coming home to a psychotic episode and knowing exactly what to do and deeply feel their pain.
We have some pretty good laughs too!

ditto on the above. Right now refocus, give yourself time to heal and get to know yourself again. Take inventory and count your blessings.

Whatever you chase tends to become elusive.

Oh Talith, honey don't be obsessed, love is everywhere and it will come when the time is right. There is a time for you too. I can promise you it's not that far off.

i simply mean that i'm always on the lookout for love in everything. i'm obsessed with the fact that love indeed does infiltrate every corner of our world, and that it's always there if we look for it.

sometimes, i have to look mighty hard though. i know it's just in front of me, yet my vision becomes blurry and i feel as though i'm grasping out in thin air.

but my obesession keeps me strong in faith!

It just moves (bumps) the string back to the top of the Topic list.

Hey LV,

Why can't you be happy with yourself? Hmm, I am guessing it's because you feel that you are a lovely person and think that you deserve to be with someone else who is lovely.

Why can't you open yourself to them? Because you are once-bitten and twice shy.

I'm also guessing that you are not going to settle for anything less than what you want - otherwise, you would have stayed in your marriage.

It will almost be four years since I separated from my husband and during that time, I thought I was ready to have a relationship. I had a few flings, but nothing serious. Instead, I concentrated on finding and loving myself. I have come a huge way on my spiritual journey and I reason that if I'd been in a relationship, it would have been at the sacrifice of that journey.

So, for everything there is a season and a reason.

Good luck on your pursuit of love and happiness.

Cheers

I think it can be hard or easy to find love depending on your karma But I think if you really start looking after a divorce, you are likely to find the same person you started with. Not good. I am very obsessed too with finding a soul mate... If anyone knows of some who wants a virgo with a picses moon and a venus uranus conj in cancer ... hey over here.
