| Settling - A different perspective Posted: 7/6/2008 8:59:45 PM | WOW!!!.....I'm actually looking forward to a 38 and 39 year old men duking it out, neither has kids with one being a Christian and graduate degree and the other being an 'other' on both counts.
I'll get the hotwings, sodas, and first round of beer for everyone. | |

I have to say I love the way you think! I think this is the most insightful thing I've read on this website. I love the thought, I love the way it is presented, and it really cleared some stuff in my head. I'll ignore a small spelling mistake and 'settle' and choose this to be the best thing I've read this week.  | |

I think it's insulting to your partner. On the basis of my experience it's a major mistake to allow yourself to be 'settled for'.
I was working with a female colleague who was describing her husband to another female colleague: 'he's a fireman, he's not very good looking actually and ... (couple of more put downs) ... but we get on really well and he's a good dad'.
Straight away I thought if I were her husband and I had heard what she just said I would walk away from the relationship.
My ex was a put-downer and I'll be damned if I'm going commit my time and energy to someone like that and I certainly wouldn't get together with someone unless my feelings for them were really strong. | |
