So I was talking to my sister last night. We kind of decided that most people seem to do what we consider "settling" which sounds like such a terrible term. But then I thought....how often does it really happen when 2 people meet and can't live without each other? (not being the honeymoon stage). Very rarely you do meet 2 people who have been together for years and don't feel like they've settled a little bit. And settling seems like the logical answer doesn't it?

People all the time leave their S.O. looking for better, then realize the grass is NOT greener and they should have stayed. But thinking about staying before felt like settling? I started thinking about it because I told my sister....I know that my bf cares about me and I care about him. We both love each other very much. I know he would never do anything to hurt me. So basically it comes down to deciding if you can handle the little blow ups or flaws (that everyone has) and stay or take your chances with the unknown which could be even worse than what you deal with now.

Then I realize.....doesn't everyone kind of go through those decisions when they are ready to either get married or have kids etc... Because nobody is perfect so you are always going to have to settle or sacrifice a little no matter what. So, my question is....is settling really as bad as we make it out to be?
