[quote=Anonymous]I think it’s most common that people settle because they think being married is more important than anything else. Like it’s a prize to be won. I also think people fool themselves into believing their partner will change with time, or that they’re not that bad.

I have seen this with so many friends- I’ve never been shocked by a divorce, I saw warning signs way sooner. I also settled myself but thankfully never married the guys I dated prior to meeting my DH. It honestly felt like a romcom, things were perfect and I realized how much I had settled.

Now that I’ve been married for 15 years I certainly wouldn’t say it’s been perfect every day, neither of us are perfect, but I also have never had to work hard at marriage. He is my partner, an amazing dad, my biggest supporter, and he makes me better each day. I’m still incredibly attracted to him. I believe he would say the same about me.

However, I don’t know what I would have done if I had never met him. I do believe I would have settled in an unhappy relationship. I don’t fault people for doing that. Our society puts such a premium on partnered people.[/quote]
