People settle down (with or without explicit contract) because the good outweighs the bad. People provide all sorts of justifications but in the end, it's a good/bad tradeoff. If you don't like living with compromise, then don't settle down. And if you won't revisit your choices, at least do others the favor to not whine about them :-).
