The right people are going to find you… the right people are going to stay.

@SW-User
You may love them, they may love you, but if they cannot or will not stay, then they are not the right one for you.

And this is what we have to be realistic about. If they leave, sure it would be sad, but we have to embrace what is. Let them go.

Someone else will come along.

@CookieCrumbs sometimes people drift away for life reasons things can't be, so it's not about right.. Or wrong..

Life has lots of shades, and while yes, some just aren't the right people for you other times other things get involved...

So yeah it's interesting

@CookieCrumbs ah not sure though about someone else coming along. Doesn't always happen. And it's ok.

@SW-User 100% agreed

@FrozenWasteland
I can see where you’re coming from.

I didn’t read the quote as finding “The One”. I don’t even believe in that. There is not only one person with whom things can work out, or that we could build satisfying relationships with.

My take from it was:
if it didn’t work or if they leave..or if you have to leave… if the circumstances are not right for both of you, then this is not the “right person”, or it may may be the right person but wrong circumstances. Either way, you have to let go… and be hopeful that someone with whom things will work out with will come along.

@CookieCrumbs I didn't read it as finding "The One" either. I refuse to believe that there is only one person (or even a few people) in this world that I could have a fulfilling relationshiip with. I'm pretty sure there are many.

I think what kind of bugs me is the sort of "ease" (can't find the right word, I know that's not really it) with which it suggests (at least to me, this morning) "Oh well, guess that wasn't the 'right' person either. Better luck next time."

Even my own experience says that there is truth to that -- I've been told, in one way or another, that I'm not the "right person" often enough -- but I have a lot of trouble accepting it. To me, it's like we gave up when it got hard -- we didn't even try. And in my self-absorbed way this moring, by "we", of course I mean "she".

Think I'd best shut up now and think...

@SW-User
Anyone who has experienced that (even for a short time) would believe the words… would believe that it is possible to happen again.

@ChemDawg hope it stays like that

@ChemDawg
The right time came for both of you. Wish you both the happiness you deserve.
