Did You Settle For Your Partner? If So, We Want To Know If It Was A Mistake Or Not

Everyone's "settling" story is different, and we want to hear yours.

When it comes to finding a romantic partner, everyone's journey is different. You might find yourself entering a relationship for love, security, or one of various other reasons. And sometimes, you might catch yourself "settling" with a partner.

And if you're someone who initially "settled" with someone, we want to hear how you feel about them today.

Maybe your relationship started under the "settled" umbrella but morphed into something completely different. Today, you might feel a deeper and stronger love for your partner, thankful that you found them when you did.

Or perhaps you still feel you "settled" in your relationship. And because you have this stagnant feeling, you might be passive-aggressive toward your partner (leading to resentment).

Or maybe you "settled" and now have mixed feelings toward your partner. Maybe you have a certain love and care for them, but at the same time, feel like something is missing.
