Part me likes that thought. A lot.

Another part of me thinks it sounds too easy. Like with the right person, one shouldn't have to try very hard. I know that's not the intent, but to me it sounds a bit like "if it didn't come easy, you were just with the wrong person".

Not sure if this makes any sense or not. My brain is foggy today.

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...
