Well Maat55, your soulmate may walk out on you someday. It happens all the time. You must know that it is a possibility. Semipermanently means none of us know where our lives will take us. Is it wrong to divorce and remarry another person who suits you better during a different stage of life? Not in my book. I don't want anyone to stay with me (who doesn't really want to be there) stay with me be cause we have a mortgage or a child together. Life has so many possibilities and choices. What we choose at 25 may not appeal to us at 45. Love should be a gift, not an obligation. I would never want a partner to stay with me out of duty. That's gross. Passion and enthusiasm are vital for a good relationship. That's not to say there won't be difficult periods and compromises are inevitable but I won't stay with someone because I don't want to pay alimony or because I'm afraid of not being able to pay the bills. Have skills for independence and bring those into an interdependent relationship that could end at any moment. That's all.
Also, demanding to snuggle every night? That's weird. I wouldn't want to snuggle with someone who demanded it from me. Buy her a Snuggie.
