Why is that you can be with a person, and nothing seems to be going right in their life in other words, they just carry a string of bad luck, so why come after the relationship ends then they start doing better or everything starts going right in their life..can someone explain why this happens, because it doesn't make sense to me. What say you?

Seems like you already know the answer. Depending on the situation, could be a number of reasons...

Figuring that the relationship ended tells me it was not to be but one or both partners were in denial of that fact. So they spend enormous amounts of time and effort trying to make it 'work'. It drags on their individual spirit. Then one day one or both realize it won't work so they end it and then turn their time and efforts to themselves. It is then that you see them at their best.

It goes with my personal philosophy that you need to love yourself first.

I have an ex who got a terrible run of luck. He resisted every constructive suggestion and eventually wore me down with his negativity. My life took off and he's still draggin through the mud financially and socially. Unfortunately leaving him was necessary to get the space and positivity I needed to get to a higher level professionally even emotionally. I promised myself I would never get with such a complainer again. I hate to see people resigned to wallowing.

Some people are just not meant to be together, and the universe knows it.

Sometimes bad luck is just bad luck. There isn't always a connection.

I don't know this guy or his situation but sometimes people wallow and complain because life really was that hard to them. It's easy for people who don't have long strings of bad luck to point fingers and say "you are the problem." You can dust yourself off only so often. Eventually you get tired of having to fight the current and you just give up and let yourself drown. There are a lot of broken people in the world, especially today.
