Some people think that when you meet the right person, it happens immediately. If that's true, then why, when you meet the wrong person, does it take a year-and-a-half?

It definitely happened immediately for me. I've never had Mr. Wrong last longer than a couple of months. Mr. Right is still hanging on after 25 years. I think we both knew pretty early on that this was it. We got married within one year of meeting.
-
Because you want that person to be the right person. And until you get kicked in the nuts, your going to keep trying to make it work.
-
Good question. That's usually the time-frame for when reality smacks me in the face as well. I think if and when I meet the right person, I'll know right away.
-
So true Mr Wrong seems to linger 4ever..while Mr Right takes forever to show.
-
There are so many wrong people out there that they are just another everyday "ho-hum". We don't recognize that they're wrong for us until much later.
-
They say it's good to date a person for at least a year and a half before you marry them. That's how long it takes, approximately to REALLY know someone. It's good to be on the safe side, and better for the realtionship if you can come to that agreement.

There is no one size fits all for people or relationships. Finding the right person can be immediate or take time. Same with knowing you're with the wrong person.
-
This is so true. Maybe because we are always in denial that yet again Mr Right turned out to be Mr Wrong and we make all sorts of excuses for them before we get fed up.
-
Somehow, my Mr. Right grew on me in a span of about 3 months. On our first meeting had somebody told me thats your Mr Right I'm pretty sure I'd have laughed in their face.
-
Thats a good point, I suppose we are nothing, without learning our lessons...
-
Even when there wrong you still wanna believe there right, and continue to until you can't any more. For some that's a year-and-half, and for others it's even longer, but nothing happens immediately .... Relationships take time, and lots of work.

B/c experience is something you don't get until just after you need it!

why does it take a 1 1/2 with the wrong one hmm well i have asked myself this same question before and the only answer i can come up with is because they are there to waste ur time till u find the right one! lol but i also believe that the more u experince the more u know what too look out for when the real thing comes along!
-
Lol just food for thought :)
-
It took me 4 years to realize it was the wrong person and a couple of months to realize it was the right person.
