It's settling if you'd be giving up something you need, like warmth, respect or feeling like yourself, mostly so the search can stop. It's a compromise if what you're letting go of was a preference on your list. By your 30s you've seen enough to tell the two apart, and your read is usually better than the doubt suggests.
