DIE ON THIS HILL
relationships

Soulmates are a destructive romantic myth

This hill is unclaimed. Nobody is willing to die on it. Yet. First blood pending.

  • Pay, and you hold it.
  • Anyone can dethrone you for more.
  • Every claim stays on the record.

No claims on the record.

The other side

Removing the word costs something real. The sense that one particular person is irreplaceable is what makes people stay through a bad year, and through the years after that. Couples who call each other soulmates are usually describing what they built, decades in. That language holds. Treating love as a spreadsheet of interchangeable compatible options carries its own quiet damage.
