One of the most popular pieces of advice is:

"Never settle."

Sounds good, right?

But think about it.

If nobody should ever settle...

Then who decides what's settling?

Because every relationship requires compromise.

Nobody gets a perfect partner.

Nobody gets everything they want.

Every person you date will annoy you.

Disappoint you. Have flaws.

So where's the line?

When does accepting imperfections become settling?

And when does chasing perfection become unrealistic?

Some people spend years searching for "better."

Only to realize they lost someone who was already good enough.

Others stay too long because they're afraid they'll never find better.

Both sides think they're right.

Both sides think the other is making a mistake.

And that's why this topic always starts arguments.
