3. Should you settle for Mr. Good Enough?
In 2010, Lori Gottlieb published Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough. I was an immediate fan. Lori shared details of how she passed up quality guys thinking someone better would come along. Then she turned 40, was still single, and bummed out.
Lori worked with a dating coach to unravel beliefs that kept her isolated. She recognized how her standards were unrealistic. She thought about the men she left and realized how she passed up some great guys.
Lori understood that “Mr. Good Enough” is not about settling for less than she deserved. She needed to think realistically about men and understand that no partner is perfect.
I’m not suggesting you should settle; you deserve a fabulous guy. Just be aware there will always be things that annoy you. Balance those with his good qualities to discover the true long-term potential.
