Settling
THERE’S immense pressure for people to couple up — pressure from family and friends, especially as one gets older. And rather than be alone, some people bow to pressure and enter relationships with people they have no interest in, save for a desire for companionship.
Would you rather be in a loveless relationship than be alone?
Kayann, 32:
I would rather be alone than be unhappy.
Marc, 35:
I don’t believe in settling. It makes no sense because you will always be yearning for better. You will never be happy, not only with yourself, but no matter what your partner does it will never be right for you.
Paula, 27:
If you have decided to settle then it simply means that you have decided to waste your time, be it a week or a year, in a pointless relationship that is only going to make you a sad and miserable person.
Leo, 34:
I have settle before, with a woman who was very attractive. I stayed with her because I was caught up in her looks. I didn’t think that I would have been able to find another good looking woman like her who would have wanted a man like me. I became very insecure in that relationship because I kept thinking she would leave me for a handsome man.
Tresa, 37:
Good men are hard to find but I believe that what is for you can’t be for anyone else, so patience is key. I’m not going to settle out of desperation.
