Yes...it does sound like she is settling. I think its so much more important to strive to be happy as opposed to striving not to be unhappy. The 1920s poem the desiderata certainly teaches us that. My Dad loves that poem.
My parents have been married for 54 years. My mother is now sick with stage 4 melanoma and you can see the fear...depression and sadness in my Dad's face and hear it in his voice. No...he did not settle.
My Dad's grief when my Mother is gone will serve as a reminder to me...that love is real and can last. Marriage does not have to be an emotional graveyard. I certainly hope that Carly's song was not a true depiction of her life.
