Member #382,293[quote=”whiteberry”]-Lifetime Partner – destiny or choice?Do you believe that the person whom you would share the rest of your life
is someone who was destined to be yours or someone who was your choice…?[/quote] I believed it is a choice. We are given by a supreme creator a free hand to choose. We have minds to choose and decide who we want to be our partner in the future.

Member #22,929I believe a lifetime partner is a matter of choice. Not all partners are meant to be long term. They come into our lives to teach us certain things and vice versa. Once we have learnt the lessons (or healed past karma) then we can chose to move on. March 10, 2011 at 3:28 am #18625datingreviews
Member #47,532Dearest, for me it is by choice because in this life you are the one who will make your own decision when it comes on that matter. And mostly you are the one who will make your own way on how to be a part of his/her life.. the one that you’d wish to be your lifetime partner. <3 So make a very wise decision and follow your heart if you are really happy with that person. 🙂 March 29, 2011 at 12:41 am #17493freckles
Member #50,249I think it’s both as well. I truly believe you need to ‘follow the signs’ when dating. If it seems the world is trying to keep you apart, listen to it. If it seems that everything seems to ‘opening up’ for you, you need to pay attention. But in the end, if one of you decide it’s just not right, you or they make a choice on whether or not to stay in the relationship and let it grow. September 29, 2011 at 5:39 am #20159ankit
Member #99,055Actually the part of destiny is just like it sends many people in one’s life but this is the sole right of that person that which person he/she would select . Destiny give us many chances to meet different people . One has to select 1 person among who are with us maybe with the choice of destiny .I don’t believe in the concept of soul mate .

Member #373,254That’s a very interesting topic to debate. But my personal opinion on “Lifetime Partner” – is actually the choice of destiny! People of any age group can choose their life partner, even men with erectile dysfunction can have a choice! But destiny does the choice, not us. February 5, 2016 at 12:33 pm #32402

Val Unfiltered💋Member #382,692babe… you don’t feel wanted, and that’s the whole answer. 💔 love shouldn’t feel like you’re begging for attention. if he’s too tired for you but not his phone, it’s time to stop settling for “comfortable” and start chasing connection. ⚡

Marcus kingMember #382,698It’s a choice. Destiny might bring two people together, but staying together? That’s all about effort, respect, and consistency. Love ain’t luck, it’s work backed by intention.

PassionSeekerMember #382,676I’ve always felt that some souls are simply meant to meet. You can’t explain it, you just know. There’s a calm, a recognition, like finding a piece of home in someone else. Sure, we make decisions to stay, to commit, to love but destiny is what brings that person into your orbit in the first place. Choice only decides how long you keep them there. For me, a lifetime partner isn’t random it’s the universe’s whisper saying, “This one’s yours.”

TaraMember #382,680Destiny? Please. That’s just what people say when they want to romanticize coincidence or avoid accountability. No one is “meant” to be yours people choose you, and you choose them back, until one of you stops. That’s not fate. That’s management.
Love isn’t written in the stars; it’s written in behavior consistency, respect, effort. “Destiny” is the lazy narrative people use to excuse poor choices or justify staying in something that doesn’t work.
You don’t find a lifetime partner. You build one through aligned decisions and mutual discipline.

SallyMember #382,674I’ve thought about this a lot, honestly. And I don’t think it’s some big destiny thing. People show up in your life for all kinds of reasons, but staying with someone… that’s a choice you make every day. I used to think there was one person “meant” for me, and maybe that idea feels romantic, but real life isn’t that tidy.
You meet someone, you like who you are around them, you grow together, or you don’t. That’s it. And sometimes the person who feels perfect at one point in your life isn’t the one who fits later on. There’s no magic sign. You just pay attention to who brings you peace and who you keep choosing even when it isn’t effortless. That’s the closest thing to destiny I’ve seen.
