Would you stay in a relationship with someone who wasn't "marriage material"?
Would you stay in a relationship with someone who you knew wasn't marriage material? Basically, you would be dating that person just for fun or because you enjoy their company, but you know for a fact that you don't want a future with them.
My friend and I are in college and were discussing our differing views. She knows for sure that she couldn't see herself with her current boyfriend due to their differing qualities. She said she enjoys being with him for the time being, but that she definitely plans on going her separate way when we graduate this spring. She considers it a fun college relationship, and since they are happy for the time being she doesn't see the point of breaking up.
Personally I feel that I need a really deep connection with someone in order to be in a relationship. I don't go around thinking "are you my future husband??," but I don't see the point of having a boyfriend who lacks any potential. For me I don't see how that relationship would be worth the effort and I'd rather remain single.
Consequentially, I am almost always single. In contrast my friend hasn't not been in a relationship since her young teens.
I don't think there is a wrong answer, but I'm curious... What is your view on this??
