At a certain age do people just "Settle" for someone?

Some folks so desperately want the house, kids, and such that all that's more important than who they get it with.

Some folks do just settle out of fear or loneliness.

.

Some people will settle with who comes along first ,with the expectations of getting the house ,kids

Some will get to a certain age it might be 27 ,with some 37 ,others much older and if not in a relationship begin to panic a bit so in absense of mr/mrs right will settle for somebody .... anybody to fill the vacum rather than the fear of living their lives alone.

Never settle when it comes to personality.

Some people say life's too short, I say it can be too fucking long in the wrong company.

Amen -How many people utter those sentiments

Right on the money as usual Pete. If you're gonna be around someone for the long haul, it needs to be someone that you can have the laughs with.

I tried the marraige thing with the wrong person, and fuck me was I miserable. I was with him a while, and in hindsight I went through with it because I figured thats just what you do after a while isn't? Well guess what.. no it isn't.... =/

Must be quite of people who are in this situation ,thinking this is it , '' you made your bed now lay in it ' 'excepting it as the norm but really feel suffocated and cant or are afraid to make that break away .

I guess the older you are and longer and more commited you are into the marriage with the kids etc ,it must be harder to make the break even though that's what you really want .I have a relative who after 30 years of marriage recently got divorced but could so easly have done so 15 years earlier .
