Mid-twenties and I feel like I’m settling right now with my long-term girlfriend. She’s a really great girl so it’s hard to walk away, but I just have this nagging feeling it’s not right. We met in our early twenties and she ticks all of my boxes, but now as a 26 year old I just find myself to be bored. The sex has only ever been okay compared to my other partners and I feel like I missed out on some important formative experiences by being in this relationship for so long and so young. It just feels like there could be someone better out there, but it’s safe and comfortable, which is especially necessary for me right now with a lot of other aspects of my life not being ideal. We weren’t together for a little while recently, and it was the most free I felt, especially with some of the women I met. But I ended up going back to her because the unknown was daunting and I could tell it wouldn’t necessarily workout with the girls I was talking to at the time. So those of you who “settled” on your girlfriend, wife or partner despite feeling momentarily that it may not be right, how did it work out in the long term? Was it just temporary? Did you grow to love them more? submitted by /u/Zealousideal_Oil3203
