Thanks guys. Sometimes I feel like the only reason I FEEL like I would be settling is because I have too high of expectations. But at the same time....my expectations would never allow me to find that "perfect" guy. So, unless I learn to lower my expectations, everything will be settling. And I have always been like that.
I have never been so sure about someone caring about me as I am with my current bf. I have never been able to say that I am 100% sure he would never cheat on me or hurt me in anyway intentionally. I know he would do anything for me. So then I feel terrible thinking I'm "settling" for a guy that basically worships the ground I walk on. But, like any other couple, we get into fights. We say things we don't mean sometimes. And all that other stuff. But I'm having a hard time figuring out if my feelings are based on my inability to accept flaws (in myself or in others) or if I really would be settling?
Does that make sense? Actually the more I write the more I realize that I put so much pressure to be perfect on myself and everyone else. This is why I'm wondering how many people deal with this same thing or even how many people never find that "one" because of their own expectations of relationships?
