You know, it's rather nice to be happy.
The thing about relationships (speaking broadly here and with no immediate context): you can't make someone into something they are not. If you sit around having arguments with someone about whether or not they love you - if they say they do, they do. Just because it doesn't manifest itself in a way you recognize doesn't mean that it doesn't exist or that it isn't real. If you think of yourself as an "empath" (and boy do I use that term loosely) who can pick up on other people's feelings and thoughts like some kind of Emotional Superman....and you can't pick up your partners, it does not mean that they do not love you. It means that they are different. Different is good. People who exactly alike are boring. Celebrate your differences!
You can't make someone into you. You can't make someone into a kind of person you might find more to your taste. You either accept someone for who they are, or you don't. You can ask people to change, certainly, and they either will or they will tell you to go fuck yourself. And very once in a great while, it's worth changing yourself for another person (only once in a great while...like...alternate leap years :-).
Just rambling. Forgot point. Brain is in idle mode this week. Really looking forward to weekend out of town, will be most relaxing and soothing (ah, the savage breast).

I think that is part of the trouble these days. People settle for less than what they really want and try to completely change that person into what they do want. I have been guilty of it myself at times.
Have a fun weekend!
Do we really settle or do we just expect too much?
