I share this sentiment! As I was reading I started to reflect on my most recent relationship which in retrospect was more of a “right person for right now, wrong person for the long haul”
Eventually I think we all have a Mr. Right Now just as I’ve been Ms. Right Now for some. Doesn’t feel good but in retrospect I guess we each serve a purpose in helping others find their Mr. Right.
The right time right place also applies to articles. Reading this article tonight, this moment, in a spiral of over anayalais, has really helped me.
I've been 'could our walks + texts = this'
OR
'could our connection x our situations = that'
for the last 3 hours.
'It's not rejection its redirection' is a great line.
What also helped me is remembering that everyone is having their own experience. It's not often a rejection of us but more than the other person is processing/ dealing with something that prevents them from being able to embrace the relationship. There is nothing we can do about that.
But fuck it hurts sometimes. This article for me could not have arrived at a better. Thank you so much, it's really helped tonight x
Some musings: In retrospect, it really would not have worked out between us, and I really was disappointed about it. (Duh.) It’s a matter of letting yourself feel that rejection, bitch about it to your friends for 2 straight months, and eventually, you stop waiting for the calls to come in because actions do speak for themselves. This is not a copout, but the truth is relationships take work, and it shows. And when it shows itself you have to believe it.
Wow, this really hit deep. It’s one of those pieces that makes you pause and reflect. The whole idea that “right person, wrong time” might just be a way to comfort ourselves really stuck with me. I’ve always believed that if someone was truly right for you, things would fall into place — no confusion, no doubts. But reading this made me realize that sometimes people come into your life to push you forward, to teach you something, or to give you the strength to move in a direction you wouldn’t have otherwise.
It kinda healed something in me — like a reminder that not everything that doesn’t work out is a loss. Sometimes, it’s just life guiding you to where you’re really meant to be.
Thank you for sharing this story with us. ☺️ It made me feel not so alone with similar thoughts. I always remember my own story - I met my first love face-to-face only after a year we first made a contact. And it happened exactly because I let it go. I think I really needed to experience everything between in that year to meet him. I still remember our first date as it was yesterday… 🫶🏻 so sometimes there is some truth to having a right person but wrong time.
Read this at the right time in the right place. It’s got my mind turning and it’s seriously making me question what I’ve always believed as well. Beautifully written!
I believe that right person, wrong timing exists, but it is pointless to hold onto hope. I’ve recently been broken up by a guy I thought we could be amazing together. We had it all, communication, efforts, willingness to be together, but we were also in different times of our lives and with different traumas that needed to be worked on. It is painful and I still struggle to do life without him, but I know that I have to let him go.
I appreciate this. Endless pining is still pretty heavily romanticized in media and the truth is, sometimes things just have bad luck or bad timing. But in the end, several billion people is a lot of people. A number hard to comprehend. It's not unreasonable to think there's more than a 1 in 8-some million chance of meeting someone else great too
I think most women have had a “Mr. Right Now” and that serves its purpose until the time for Mr. Right.
1000%! Thank you so much for reading

We learn from every Mr Right Now and I have been a Ms. Right Now as well. And I have learned from that too.
There are windows in time where only a certain type of person can fill that void. Eventually, you just find the one that fills more voids at once.
What a beautiful comment!
