Should You Settle in Your Relationship? — Alyson and Tripp Lanier
Should you settle in your relationship?
Do you ever wonder if there’s someone out there who’s a better fit?
And could raising the bar too high leave you alone forever?
Today, Alyson and I dig into the idea of “settling” in relationships. We talk about what it really means to raise your standards, how we sabotage relationships, and why it’s tempting to focus on someone else’s flaws instead of facing our own fears.
In this conversation:
- Fear of settling in a relationship
- Always finding faults with potential partners
- Expecting someone to check all the boxes
- FOMO and wondering who’s better
- Using settling as an excuse to avoid intimacy
Plus:
- Attachment styles and how they impact relationships
- Being afraid to let someone get too close
- Clarifying your “dealbreakers”
- Refusing to sweep stuff under the rug
- What would you be excited to commit to?
