Trying to locate a comment on "settling" in relationships.

Looking for ask.metafilter comment about settling in relationships.

I'm trying to locate a comment made in the last year on a relationship post.

I believe someone posted about his relationship with his wife, and how it wasn't that he "settled" for her, but that he found different things to love about her than what he thought he wanted initially.

Is this it?

(Yes, I realize it was a comment from 2007, but MetaFilter can blur by when you're having fun.)

Actually, I'm sorry...that's probably not it, as he doesn't directly mention the different things he found to love about her than what he originally wanted. Still a great comment though, with the same general premise.

Is it perhaps something from this thread?

Those are some great comments but still not the one I'm looking for. Any other suggestions?

Was it this or this?

Sadly, it's none of those either. I'm quite certain it's from the last year, but it's possible another thread linked to it.

Sadly, it's none of those either.

Would you settle for one of them?
