Do you believe in right person, wrong time?

I want to know what people think because this is a common phrase, however, a number of people I know say that there is no such thing and you can make it work if you truly truly love them.
Currently going through a break up and this is how I feel as the person I'm leaving is fantastic and I've never connected with anyone like it but their depression and lack of get up and go has emotionally crippled me. it just isn't the right time for them and I guess in some ways it isn't the right time for me either.
Super sad and angry rn.

If you're not compatible now, they're not the right person. The right person is someone you're consistently happy and secure with.

I believe in this. I met someone once and we really clicked, great chemistry, I honestly think it could have been great. But he was only a couple of months out of a serious relationship and just wasn’t ready so it had to end. Maybe at another time it still wouldn’t have been right but I don’t think so.

No I don't

I don't think this is a case of 'right person, wrong time'. This is just the wrong person.

Kindly op, what does it matter either way?

It isn’t working now and it needs to end. Either they will miraculously work in the future at some point or you will find someone who works better.

If they are at their ‘right time’ later you could give it a go, but you could also be missing out on someone who is perfect for you full stop.

Yes definitely sometimes it's a case of you've met someone but they have already settled down!

Tigerteafor3 · 20/04/2022 20:27

I do. Dated someone late teens who I still believe I would have married had it worked out. He had a lot of person stuff going on and couldn't give a relationship the time or attention it deserved. We're close now still, but both in serious relationships with other people.

I think it's absolutely true, but I also don't think there is one right person for everyone. There are so many people in the world that there will be thousands of potential really great partners for you out there.
