Women Reveal What It's Like To Settle For A Partner Who Isn't 'The One'

When it comes to finding 'the one,' many people have unrealistic expectations. Thanks to Hollywood, we have this idea that we'll bump into a tall, dark, and handsome stranger on the subway, our eyes will meet, and there will be instant fireworks and butterflies. From one minute to the next, we've met the love of our lives, and it's smooth sailing from there. But, in reality, 'the one' takes a lot of work to sustain, and relationships are hard. Sometimes, 'the one' isn't the person you always imagined, but it's the person with who you make things work. Some call it settling, and some call it being realistic.
