Everyone seems to be so busy looking for something more, maybe we are letting the right person slip through are fingers sometimes ... just rethinking people who I threw on the scrap heap to find out they had qualities I had missed

Don't forget....you threw them out on the scrap heap for a very good reason at the time.

I'm right here! Just incase you didn't recognise..
Seriously though I think it comes down to standards that we have, and I think that maybe the longer you're single the lower your standards might be compared to when you started your search. I'm trying not to let that happen to me!! There's a reason I set my standards high and try to remind myself every once in awhile =)

Yes, I did recognise the right person when he appeared. Someone I should've met years ago but then, when I was younger, I took a lot for granted, as we often do. Now, with age and the experiences I have had in life, I no longer take as much for granted so I recognise him for the wonderful person he is, and know he is good for me!

May we all be as lucky Rose, still happy for you!
I think we hope to get a bit more discerning as we get older so as to recognise what might be right in front of us... or at least have the courage to look

Iam sure, things will flow and go smoothly and u will feel it. As for the past ones, there was a reason u did it, they might have qualities u were looking for, but they did miss what u really wanted.
In two cases, yes and in the other two cases not being able to accept what I felt were sacrifices on their part in order to continue the relationship.
Now I feel that if someone loves you enough to make sacrifices to be with you...you should gracefully accept...I was always worried that one day they would resent me.
