"Last week, Melissa and several of you shared your stories of how you knew your guy was The One. But today, I want to look at the other side and talk about how and when you knew a guy just wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t right for you. It may sound kind of depressing, but it&amp;amp;#8217;s really not. The moment you figure out that a guy isn&amp;amp;#8217;t right for you is the moment you learn something important about yourself and what you want in your future. And it helps you move forward towards meeting the guy who IS right for you. Most of you know the story of how my last relationship imploded, so that&amp;amp;#8217;s a pretty obvious one. But with a boyfriend before that, I had a more subtle realization that he wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t the right one for me. He didn&amp;amp;#8217;t cheat on me or do anything horrible--in fact, he was pretty romantic most of the time. But after I moved away and we were trying long distance, I gradually realized that we just didn&amp;amp;#8217;t have enough in common. We didn&amp;amp;#8217;t like the same movies or books (well, he didn&amp;amp;#8217;t really like books generally), and we had very different senses of humor and visions for our futures. I certainly don&amp;amp;#8217;t need to have everything in common with a significant other, but I just couldn&amp;amp;#8217;t imagine us having enough to talk about for the rest of our lives. That was when I knew I had to end it, even though I did care about him. I was sad, but I&amp;amp;#8217;ve never regretted that choice even now that I&amp;amp;#8217;m single again. I know someday there will be a guy I&amp;amp;#8217;m confident I can laugh with for years. So now it&amp;amp;#8217;s your turn: With an ex, what made you realize he wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t the one for you? Was it one particular moment or a series of things? Are you still sure you made the right decision?
