There's nothing wrong with being comfortable in your relationship, but is there such a thing as being "too comfortable"? There certainly is. When a relationship gets predictable, boring and lacks any sort of passion or spark, then it's time to look inward and ask yourself why you're settling for less than you deserve. There has been a trend of people, particularly women, compromising their standards in the quest to end singlehood. A book has even been written, encouraging such behavior: Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough. It may stem from the old stereotype of spinsters – the equivalent of the modern-day cat lady – or the perpetuation that single women are unfit to take care of themselves or are unhappy while they're alone. Even if they're not desperate for a mate, some women may think they need to find a man who may not be the best match. Once a person finds that relationship – however unsatisfying – he or she will find myriad ways to rationalize it.
