At some point in your life, you may find yourself meeting the one, but try as you might, you cannot seem to catch a break and make things work. There are a million different reasons why some relationships work while others crash and burn. Connections typically fizzle out due to a lack of communication, long-distance travel, or a lifestyle clash. It may also simply be because you met the one at the wrong time. Sometimes the universe has paths for you that you have to accomplish before you’re meant to be with your significant other.
5 Signs You Met the One at the Wrong Time
#1. You’re not the best version of yourself yet.
Before you met your person, you had goals and a path to follow. Once you start manifesting your best life, the universe will make moves to ensure you achieve your intended path before your next journey can begin.
If you’re familiar with the twin flame phenomenon, you may already know that a soulmate can appear in one’s life like a mirror to force you to face any issues and blockages that are preventing you from giving and accepting love.
If you’re dealing with confusing episodes of ghosting when you inherently know in your heart that your person loves you, it’s likely that they are battling some demons that they don’t want you to witness and need to overcome independently. Or they’re so focused on their path that they need to achieve their goals alone before they can allow themselves to commit to you in the way that you deserve.
#2. You’re stuck in a love triangle.
Does career come first for one, or both of you? Sometimes three’s a crowd. It’s a beautiful thing to be passionate, focused and motivated in your career. However, if both of you are so focused you won’t make time for the other person, you’re missing one of the most essential ingredients required for a robust relationship; quality time!
#3. Someone’s not over their ex.
If you or your person are still in any way attached to an ex, it’s difficult to move on with your lives together without friction. When someone is not emotionally available, no amount of effort can force them to suddenly fall madly in love with you and commit to you, and vice versa. The heart has to heal before it can love again without arguments.
#4. Someone’s about to move.
We’ve seen this story unfold in so many movies. Though in the happy ever after stories, the couple that met and fell madly in love before moving 3000 miles away from one another somehow end up together. Unfortunately, this doesn’t always happen in real life. Maybe this person is the one, but you or they are due to relocate. Trust in the universe. Follow your path. You never know; you or they may end up in the same city in a week, a month, or even a year!
#5. One of you hasn’t mastered self-love.
Until two people in a union have mastered self-love, there will always be a dark cloud hovering over your relationship. A lack of self-love can result in self-sabotage and negative behaviors which can manifest as jealousy, insecurities, emotional instability, and failure to set healthy boundaries.
