Should we settle for a relationship that we think would work, or should we always strive to find that perfect partner?

Asked by beautifulbobby193 (1699points) May 14th, 2010

If a person realises after a three year relationship that they are no longer or were never truly in love with their partner, but still loves them as a person, sees them as a great mother and never wants to see them upset, should they still proceed with marriage?

Should we settle for something that we think would work, or should we always strive to find that perfect partner even if it means ending up alone or being too old to have children?

And is it normal for a person to think of what may have been, whether the grass is greener elsewhere, or whether they have the right partner, or does this indicate some sort of problem?
