Settling in Love?

Damn! everyone is in the mood to talk about the "lovery" lately... Must be the V-day bug... So As per a conversation I had with one of my homeboys yesterday, knowing I am a lover of all things quoted he hit me with this personal one: "In life we come across certain things that you think is great but it may be bad for you. Sometimes you have to make the hardest decision and let things go and if it was real love and it was meant to be it will come back, if not you know it was not real love. But the question is what is real love? & do u settle when you are in love?

- My answer to him was absolutely not. I feel like when you are truly in love there is no where else I'd... (eh-hem) ..You'd rather be than in love with that one person no matter what the circumstances are, whether its long distance, you have financial troubles, if your peoples don't approve, despite it all, in that moment you can't even see outside the box so how could you possibly be settling?

And so now my question is would you ever choose to settle and stay if you are no longer in love with that person? I know some that think its OK because the excuse is ..."well, we've invested so much, so.." is that alright?? and how would you feel if you found out that the person you love is only with you because they've already "invested" so they feel like they might as well stay?
