Having one person be "the one" is too much burden for any person and leads to eventual unhappiness when they can't live up to the unrealistic standard.

I agree, which makes me wonder if "the one" exists? For some, maybe if a couple are stable in their own identity that there would be no need to want to be with another person....What I mean is since we all evolve, the person you're with now isn't necessarily the person that fits into your life later, any there are other factors, too....

@wanderlinglilacs22: Like the term "soulmate". Don't like that word either.
