Dark Soulmates--Nobody Wants Them, But We Need Them
When we usually think of soulmates we imagine our true love, The One, the person we'll happily be with forever. With a dark soulmate, this isn't the case though. This type of karmic partner is a soulmate in the sense that you're in the same soul group and have shared past lives together, but the two of you had some major problems. A relationship like this is always filled with powerful emotions and brings up your unresolved issues from those past lives and your current life as well.
There's no doubt that the magnetism a dark soulmate has on us is incredibly strong. You feel like you've never felt before. You've never met someone you instantly clicked with in this way. You've never felt a bond so strong. You'll connect with them faster and fiercer than probably any other type of relationship you'll be in. They're just not good for you, though they're necessary for soul growth and spiritual reparation.
Not a single person has gone out looking for a karmic relationship but everyone has been in at least one. On the surface, they often seem like any other relationship, the difference is your emotional experiences with your partner. You have highs and lows, you feel close then distant, and no matter how hard you try or how much you wish things would change, you both keep repeating the same patterns.
Leaving is difficult though because you're not only letting go of the person, but you're also letting go of behaviors that have kept you stuck in this cycle for perhaps centuries. In the end, acknowledging the lessons you learned while with this person and then taking steps to incorporate healthier and happier habits will allow you to finally release this karma and find a positive soulmate.
Ultimately, you can take what you've learned and use it to help you on your journey in life instead of letting it hold you back. Soon, you'll be creating the kind of relationship you've always wanted to have. One that's filled with respect, passion, and kindness, and can last a lifetime and beyond. But first, you need to figure out how to break that karmic bond and let go of dysfunctional relationships.
