The whole concept that "that special someone" is nonsense. It is a fairytale concept that one grows out of once they leave early adulthood. Make no mistake - you are not special. You're not special. No one is. It is very likely that, for both you and your SO, there is probably a person out there who you would be even more happy if you only chanced up on meeting them. Who we end up with is mostly a function of chance. No one is replaceable. |

Everyone is unique. Everyone has had a different set of experiences that brought them to where they are today.
Relationships are also unique in this way. They are a shared set of experiences you have had with another. Each set of shared experiences is unqiue.
In the case of the OP, only he and his current SO will have lived through making this decision with each other. The strength of their relationship going forward will be in part because of this shared experience.
Are you arguing that it is possible that the SO would be happier if they were making this decision with the other person? I'm sure that this could be theoretically true, but it seems somewhat irrelevant.
