Read again what Charlatan and ShaniFaye said Mandy. What they are telling you is the truth. The concept of "soul mate" sets you up to believe that there can only be one person and that is a load of crap, even though it is hard to believe at the moment. You won't ever love anyone else the same way, IT WILL BE BETTER. We learn from our mistakes (usually, thank god).
Also, be mindful of the fact that loving someone is not a good enough reason to stay together. I get so pissed off when I hear a woman staying with an abuser say "but I love him". It makes me want to puke. Not that you are being abused, but that LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH. Forget the hollywood bullshit. There must be respect and compatibility or you have nothing.
