I believe many people assume being in love means we are supposed to walk off into the sunset together and live happily ever after.
From person experience, two people can be close, love each other deeply and romantically, and not be suited to have a long-term relationship. In fact, having a soul-mate connection does not necessarily mean you are in for a permanent relationship.
Many people I believe (I use to believe it too) sense a strong connection as a sign that you are to be together forever. But, I have found this feeling of being soul mates can actually be drawing the two of you together so that you'll work out some unfinished business or help each other in some specific but limited way.
If you are willing to accept the fact that you may not be a couple is the first step toward keeping the love while letting go of the suffering. There may still be pain loss and endings can be painful.
By accepting the loss you open the door for a different kind of flowering, between either you and this person or you and someone else.
My suggestion? Every time you feel the love and pain of a relationship, offer it up to God. Do this over and over, and you will find your love is being freed of its clinging, possessive quality and becoming more a tender feeling.
Much love,
Joseph
