If a soulmate were a player class, it would be a support class. Some religions believe that souls make pacts before rebirth, that they will support one another in the life to come. That is, often helping one another attain spiritual enlightenment.
Strangely enough, soulmates need not turn out to be the spouse or best friend. In fact, they could well be the worst enemies who work indirectly by disgusting the soulmate enough to force them back onto the path to enlightenment. It may sound counter-intuitive, but it does make a twisted sort of sense.
This is not to say that I necessarily believe in reincarnation or soulmates, nor shall I discuss my past-life experiences. It's just that sometimes there are people who come along, whom you just can't stand. They seem to be such turnoffs that they lead you clean off whatever track they had been taking. Strangely enough, these have indeed caused me to avert various potential disasters. Soulmate? Coincidence? I'd say at the very least it's quite an interesting concept.
