The original question was "Why do women settle for less in a relationship than what they really want?" however after listening to some men speak, I discovered this is just as common in men as in women.
People settle for all types of reasons. Kids, finances, loneliness..you name it. And in todays time with the economy being so bad it's becoming more and more popular as a means of survival. People are looking for relief...forget love....these bills are killing us so any relief is better than none. NOT!!!! What about "having a piece of mind"..."having a person that compliments you and you compliment them"....being friends with your mate.
If you have been married before then you understand the last sentence.
The divorce rate is constantly getting higher and higher, however that amount of couples getting married is growing to. So my question is.."Is it really worth it to settle for less in a relationship than what you really want?"
