8 Signs Someone Isn’t Meant For You

Do you believe in the idea of soul mates? There are also certain things you just have to have in order to make a relationship work, like attraction, chemistry, romance, friendship, and of course, compatibility. So, it’s important that you take the time to evaluate your relationship and ask yourself honestly if you think your partner is really the one for you. Otherwise, you risk holding each other back by staying in an unhappy, unfulfilling relationship. What if they're not the one for you? Here are a few important warning signs that you and your partner may not be right for each other.

"Do you relate to any of the signs?"

This video not only just talking about relationships with your partner but all people that like, your friend, family. Hmmm... Family...

Every relationship goes through times of challenge and times of doubt. If you or your partner is looking for a reason to leave, it won't last. But if you're both commited to working on it, it will last. Communication and mutual goals are important.

People come into our lives for "a reason", "a season" or a "lifetime". It's healthy to let go, rather than be miserable.

Another sign: When you tell them about your interests after they bragged about their own interests and they quickly change the subject bragging about other things again to make you feel your interests isn’t as important than it is. Not is it rude, but that’ll make anyone not like you.

I agree with all of this except for Number 4.

Sharing mutual friends is a good thing but it's also healthy for each partner to have their own friends too.

To anyone who's young and/or in a rocky relationship, take note of this video. I had an abusive and failed marriage, and I have all 8 signs in the video. I wish I knew this much earlier, but it may not be too late for you.

[NonaBerlian]

this channel really help me a lot to understand certain things in my life

[devidaughter]

being "willing to drop everything and come running when they need you" (4:25) can be a big warning sign of codependency! ideals of love being the willingness to 'make the relationship with the other our priority', and 'standing by the other person even through times of struggle and hardship', can keep us stuck in very unhealthy, caretaking relationships! I thought I was practicing love by doing these things, but now I see how I was actually being unloving to myself, abandoning my core needs, and keeping myself in an oppressive situation.

What is the biggest sign that someone isn’t meant for you? When your intuition tells YOU they are NOT!

[SuperWiiBros]

Definitely I can't find anyone who's meant for me I guess..

Just a time traveler saying Have a good day

[ilsegarcia]

time traveller here, finding reasons to continue to believe in right person wrong time. Seeing this video made me realize they are the one for me, and hopefully one day i'll be with them again. I hope things get better soon, but in the mean time have a good day for whoever is reading this <3

Me just tryna further convince myself to stop letting him have a place in my heart and mind...

#6...wow...this one stings a lot. I've known it for a long time, but I wanted to stick it out telling myself that relationships won't always go as expected and that we can work on our relationship together. It got to a point I felt like I was begging. He wanted a relationship that seemed easy and convenient for him. Honestly, thinking back he only gravitated towards anything that seemed easy and convenient for him without caring about how he got it, who else it impacted or without empathy towards anyone else who required the same as him. All he knew was him.

I honestly have that feeling like I walked into an obvious scam. You knew it, you freaking knew it, but you did it anyway and now you're embarrassed, sad, angry, displaced and left with less than you invested and the promised return didn't exist to begin with.
