Cherry Bomb: "Settling In Your Relationship"

Do you ever find yourself settling for the person you’re with out of convenience or comfort? The ladies of Cherry Bomb welcome Latina comedian Sandra Valls to the couch this week to discuss settling. What’s the difference between uncomfortable and unacceptable in a relationship? Do you stick it out even when there’s no Spark left?

Also this week: What to do bringing a partner home to meet your family for the first time.

I dont think its always settling...All my relationships I'm there because I wanted to be there..but along the way things happen.. which makes me know what i want and what i don't want.. which is exploring.. experience :)

what a great episode.

I have to admit it was definatly worth the wait! Wow, i have to say that i am a settler. Looking at all my past relationships there is no doubt in my mind that i settled for what was there. However i have learned from those mistakes.

 Wow ladies looking great today.

Was an awsome surprize after the episode to see a preview for We Have To Stop Now. I think yall should have Jill and Cathy come on the show, what a great time that would be! They are wonderful and do great work on their new show.

Have fun at Dinah, wish i could go....damn lol

i settled with my first girlfriend because... well she was my first. i knew since the beginning it wasn't going to work but still went through it. needless to say it only lasted a couple of months. now i'd rather be alone than ever settle again. i don't think it does either person any good. and definitely not a good feeling.

thanks for another great vlog!

Enjoyed this episode. I'm glad you explored this topic and discussed it in depth. Right now Im enjoying my single life. I will keep my eyes open for settlers. I will defintely make sure I stay far away from them as possible. I'll take my time b/f entering into another committed relationship ever again. I defntely don't want to be the settled. I can be B about it.

not settling

Its not settling, it's being comfortable for the moment until the moment changes

Note to self

know yourself and how to get her to open up. end of note. lol And as the saying goes, "Never settle for anything less than perfect or the best." So to "settle" for her means she is, for right now, the definition of "perfect" or "the best". Any other reason(for me) will probably result in a cheating frenzy or worse, cost you happiness. And as always, Thanks for another great Vlog ladies.

NO woman is perfect!

IMO the problem with going through life with NOT settling on the brain is you sometimes develope a list of things she MUST be that is a mile long. And unfortunately hit your 30"s and 40"s having gone through 100 + women like a hot knife through butter looking for perfection of said list.

NO woman is perfect and I think there is a need to find balance between what is doable and what is not. The fact that she is fashion challenged shouldn't hold as much weight as the fact that she bangs her teeth with the fork when she eats.LOL You can take her shopping and show her what is most flattering in color and cut.

I would even suggest professional help to go through said list and do some house cleaning if for some reason NO one is good enough for you. Or you can do how we do and keeping dating until you die !

I asked my gay boss how he and his partner, who just celebrated their 14yr annev, did it and he said they "like" each other.I pushed for a more complex answer and he said COMPROMISE and that he is right all the time,but lets his partner think he is .He then burst out in laughter.lol But seriously though they fit like a hand and glove those two and are funny as hell with out even trying together.

Plus relationships have high points and low points my boss points out and you can't just bail because she's not as sexy today as she was a week ago. You have to do things to get that spark back throughout the relationship he says and I agree. We lezzie want her to be smokin hawt from day one and stay that way till your 40th annev[as if lol] and it just ain't going to be that way folks.

**Oh and he laughed when I asked the question and said "isn't the expiration date on you lezzies 7 yrs or so?lol" Sadly I had to laugh with him because it is. Our rep is correct and showing itself true all the time breakup after breakup.

I love Cherry Bomb.

I did settle in a relationship it lasted 2 years and there were like so good moments that were life-changing but i think overall it didn't do me good.
