So a buddy of mine that's married offered a small group of friends some advice about relationships. He said generally, if there are only 3 things that get on your nerves about the person - you're probably safe to settle.
I've had a constant debate with myself about my current gf that I've been dating for 2 years. I have a bad pattern with women in the past that I get restless and wonder who else is out there. Some pretty bad grass is always greener syndrome.
/adv/, what is your opinion on my friends "three things" advice? should the number be higher? should people not settle for less that exactly what they want?
also do you have any rules you abide by or would offer to other people considering if they should lock someone down or not? ways to know you are certain about your decisions etc.

If I had to narrow it down to three things I would have to say they're "does she respect me, is she considerate, and is she responsible?"
Those three things cover a lot of bases. People live a long fucking time, you shouldn't get married to anyone you don't feel comfortable being with for that long fucking time.

Gross over simplification.
Married 10 years here. You can work out annoying things over time. What really matter is the positive feeling you have for the person. I know its cliche but you should feel whole when you are with them and a little empty when they are not around.
