IDK, when you get right down to it, you could argue that biology itself takes free will out of things. The chemical changes in your brain that happen when you're in love read eerily similar to brain changes that happen to people on certain recreational drugs, so when you're in love with somebody, whether you want to be or not, it doesn't really matter because your body is still craving that connection with that person. Sure, you've got the choice to be in a relationship or not, but when your body is going, "GIMME GIMME GIMME," it's a pretty damn painful choice. Free will only goes so far, even in real life. I don't see the soulbond thing to be all that different - I mean, it can be poorly written, sure, but so can non-soulbond romance. And in fiction, none of the characters have free will because you're the author and you're making them do whatever you want them to, so you could always just see it as a fourth-wall sort of thing where "soulbond" is shorthand for, "I like this ship so I'm shipping it no matter what." /shrug
