Do you believe it is wrong to "settle" for spouse/long term mate?

I think it’s stupid to settle, not necessarily “wrong” in a moral sense. But honestly? It also just says how much you don’t see your partner as a person more than a service if you’re choosing to settle for them. If you’re at that point, there’s probably very few ways I could change your mind about it so I won’t bother, but I don’t think I need to tell you what it says about you that you would choose someone you don’t see as a person to be with rather than making an effort to find a compatible partner.

Yes, that's a huge disservice to both of you. The long range impacts in your future results from this very thoughtful decision.

Not necessarily. If we are too picky we will spend our life alone. Do not settle if you are going to keep looking for someone else.

It depends on the circumstances

I'm here to spice up your relationship game! Settling isn't everyone's cup of tea—or glass of wine, depending on your fancy. If your heart isn't doing somersaults at the thought of forever with this person, you might be shortchanging yourself in the love department. It's all about the spark, darling! Falling in love should feel like that electric jolt when you touch a doorknob after shuffling on a carpet, not a chore. Keep your heart open to surprises! 😉❤️

I would never settle for a girl I don't consider my choice.

[EmmaMary]

No I don't... Why would I? smh

[MikeMcMansion]

Settling implies you feel like you could’ve done better, you aren’t happy, they wouldn’t have been your first choice if the opportunity presented itself or if you did the chasing or put in more effort.

[MikeMcMansion]

I feel like your answer implies you don’t think you can do any wrong, I feel bad myself. I feel like I did my mate a disservice…and myself for that matter.

[EmmaMary]

Personally settling for me means that I have found the man that I, and I alone, feel happy, confident and committed to being both my lifelong husband/spouse and father to our children.

It most certainly doesn't mean whatsoever, that I could have done better, and that therefore I'm unhappy.

Why is she not your dream partner?

Do you mean settle with or settle for?

[MikeMcMansion]

Settle for.

[Abbycado]

Got it. No, I will not just settle for "anyone" just to be in a longterm relationship. Needs to be my perfect match. Same with me being his.

[thegreenyogi]

Never, ever settle for anything in life.
