Is it worse to be alone or to be in a 'less than ideal' relationship?
I know there is a group of people out there who say "Never Settle" and then there are other who say being alone is the worst. I think I'm of the latter group but I'd like to see what others have to say.....and yes, this is my current predicament.

To me, it comes down to a simple question: Are you content and happy with yourself, or do you need someone else to be complete?
If you think you need someone else to be complete, then you're in trouble. They now control your life, and can put you down when they want to. That relationship can work only if the other person doesn't want to be in control, or if you want to be dominated. And there are folks for whom that's ok.
Willow, shouldn't you be cleaning?
If you're comfortable with yourself, then you're in the best spot to be able to share that with someone else, and the relationship can be much more fulfilling. For both of you...
And let's face it... there's a big difference between being alone and being lonely. Alone isn't so bad... I'm alone right now, 'cause everyone else has something to do. But thanks to IW, I'm definitely not lonely
