Happiness vs settling

So I was with my ex off and on for a little over a year and we were talking about a future and blah blah, except he didn’t want to meet my family and friends and he didn’t want me to meet his. We were off more than on in that year and when he told me to break up with him (yes you read that right) I was heartbroken because he was the first guy I had loved. I will say I got over it pretty quickly (I’ve learned to move on from things quickly, it’s a long story), 2 weeks later I met my current boyfriend and I’ve realized I was settling the whole time I was with my ex. Ex wouldn’t reply to anything for a whole day or weekend, which scared me because I was worried something happened to him. My current bf responds generally within 5 minutes depending on how busy he is and I’ve seen him more in the past month than I had my ex in a year. Moral of the story, don’t settle in a relationship, there is someone out there who is going to treat you like the queen you deserve to be treated as and makes you happy
