    Hello April and Everyone!

    This is my first post and the advise I am seeking is actually about how to deal with my friend’s believe and help her.

    I will explain and maybe you know more about this subject. She has the strong believe she met her “Twin Soul” or “Flame” (I didn’t know those existed until she mentioned this theory). Well her relationship with this twin soul broke off around 7 years ago . Since then, she has not been able to date. He had married and divorced. He has told her he doesn’t have feelings for her. He even made out with her friend in front of my her. About a year ago, she professed her love for him sending him a letter. He never replied. She keeps telling me she sees “signs” that they are “twins” and after extensive research she found out that in this type of relationships, one of the individuals always runs away from the other. Okay, I am open minded but I am not sure how or if this type of relationships exist.

    Now, I have been supportive and to a point I feel that by letting her vent with me, I have fuel her theory. I feel it’s gotten to the point of obsession or … I am not sure how to describe it. To top it off it seems that she found a group of people that supposedly are going through the same thing. Supposedly these people are married and in relationship BUT they are miserable because they are in love with other people (their twins).

    Well, I don’t know how all this sounds but my friend seems to feel very strong about this. How do I help her? I have encouraged her to date but she always finds something wrong with the other guys.

    If you can give me your insight I will greatly appreciate it.

    You can help her by not enabling her. Stop discussing this with her, and if she starts, change the subject, or leave the room. You can tell her that you don’t believe that she’s going down a healthy path and you don’t want to be part of this any more. It really feels like you’re getting involved when you shouldn’t be. It’s fine for you to disagree, but she’s an adult and if she knows how you feel, that’s all you have to do. Her life is hers to live — and yours is yours to live. Stop getting involved in her obsession with a married man. It isn’t a good idea for her — or you. 😉
