When Soulmates meet, they feel an huge pull to each other, a compulsion to go find their other half and just stay together until the bond is fully formed. This urge cannot be broken, and in fact grows worse and worse the more it is ignored.
Ben Solo and Hux are soulmates. They meet during the attack on Starkiller. Fortunately for Hux, he has a lot of experience in self discipline that allows him to keep from rushing towards Solo. Ben has Resistance members pulling him away.
The problem comes afterwards. Hux cannot reveal what happened without risking his position, so he tries to discretely deal with it. The FO has contingency plans in case a trooper meets his/her soulmate, drugs and stuff, but they grow less and less effective as time goes on.
Meanwhile, Ben is growing more and more restless and desperate as time goes on, to the point where Leia and Han almost need to lock him in a room to keep him from leaving. No matter how much his frantic babbles break their heart, they can't let him leave: the FO won't let him go if he goes to Hux.
