You're Better Off Single Than In A Relationship With The Wrong Person

We see people falling in love in the movies and think that a perfect relationship just happens. Every year, it seems like our dream of true love is harder and harder to reach. We fantasize about falling in love with someone who is our perfect soulmate and understands us. But our unrealistic expectations and ability to settle for less could be getting in the way of finding real love.

If you spend years looking for the right person, it can get tiring. At some point, you might just give up and settle for less. You feel desperate to find the one, so you date whoever comes along. While doubts and uncertainty crowd your mind, you try to ignore any indication that this is not the man or woman for you.

Then, you end up disappointed. You feel hurt that the other person does not want the same things out of the relationship. When you realized that you have the wrong relationship, you feel intense regret. You have now wasted a few more months or years pursuing the wrong person. While you were with Mr. Wrong, Mr. Right could have passed you by.

Sometimes, you are lucky enough to have the courage and willpower to wait for the right person. Even if you are strong enough to wait for a few years, you can give up at some point. If no one shows up after a few years, you may start to feel desperate. It feels like the right person just does not exist in the real world, so there is no point in waiting around for them.

What happens in these cases is that you settle for less. You think that the right person is not out there, so you try to find someone who is almost right. Instead of carefully thinking about whether someone is right for you, you jump straight into a new relationship because you are tired of waiting and being alone.

Have hope and patience!

The right person is out there, but you have to be strong. When you finally meet your soul mate, you will realize that every second you waited for them was entirely worth it. You will look back on your previous relationships and wonder how you could have ever stayed with someone who was just so wrong for you.

To find the right person, you have to be mature about your relationships and confident in who you are. Some people are uncomfortable being single when all of their friends are in a relationship. You have to become comfortable with who you are and being alone so that you can wait for the right person. If you are impatient, you will end up being with the wrong person.

If you have failed to be patient in the past, you are not alone. Nearly everyone has fallen for the wrong person at some point. We get entranced by a narcissist or an emotional abuser without realizing how dangerous they are. Later on, we learn that we have made a mistake and have to pick up the pieces of our shattered souls.

Relationship mistakes happen. Everyone has to deal with a broken heart at some point. Once you have hurt your heart, mind, and spirit, you have to find the strength to move on. Your soul has to heal before you can be ready for the right person. The bruises on your heart have to heal. True love is more precious than anything you could ever imagine, but you have to be ready for it.

Listen to the inner stirrings of your soul. Sometimes, it is easy to become infatuated or attracted to someone you meet at a bar or work with. You forget that they are not right for you just because they are so attractive. You have to stay true to yourself and what you want out of a relationship. If you feel like someone is not right for you, be confident and leave them. When you know that someone is wrong for you deep within your heart, the relationship will never work out. Sooner or later, those problems will cause the relationship to end.

You deserve to find love. The right person is out there, but you have to be patient and willing to wait for them. Have hope. Do not risk your emotions on someone who you can never be with. You deserve to find love, so do not let your impatience make you settle for less.

Embrace loneliness. When we are alone, we get to discover our true natures and what we want out of life. Being single is an opportunity for you to learn more about your emotions, what you want in life, your thoughts and who you are. It might be lonely, but being single is a chance for you to learn about yourself and prepare for your future soul mate.
