why do we need to fall in love with the wrong person?

Because I think its a test of our belief in mankind. I had just gotten over a 17 yr marriage due to a divorce and was hurt badly. But I got over it and found the right one. It takes time and survival skills to be able to get over the hurt before you eventually find true happiness. The guy that I love is currently in prison right now but when he gets out, we are going to start our future out right. He did something stupid but wants a fresh start in life and so do I.

I think all failed relationships are learning experiences. We need to have enough knowledge about love before we can find the right person. :]

your right, not only happen to others but it happen to me too, i cried & almost lost my life, but now i proudly tiil that i found already the right person to with me in my whole life, caring , understanding & his the person who let my stand & face again thw wold.

i would say that i for one usually fall for the wrong person. and i really don't know the reason why. and who does know if the person we love is the wrong one. i believe that we won't know if the person we love is the right one or not unless we try loving them. or maybe im too impulsive at times that i just get involve to a relationship.

I believe that's what LIFE is all about.. to LEARN from our MISTAKES and gain HAPPINESS eventually... We tend to get hurt by falling for the wrong person because we are idealistic about LOVE.. When we learned that LOVE is not ideal to be PERFECT, we won't get hurt and make the mistake of falling on the wrong person. Hope you find the right SOMEONE you deserved to be with for the rest of your life.. Always be happy! cheers!!

I think we have all had this experience and it can be mind-boggling. I know that I personally fell for the absolutely wrong man before I found my way to the one I was to spend my life with. There are lots of reasons for this. One is the wrong man is usually sly, sudductive, and makes himself look good. But more than that we have to fall for some of the wrong ones so that we definately know what we do not want in a relationship. That makes us more open to the right guy when he is standing in front of us. These wrong guys are only the learning path to the right one.
