Here to tell you that as someone with Venus in Capricorn Conjunct Saturn (with an orb less than a degree) in the 8th house
It DOES get better 
It's like Venus in Capricorn to the power of two.
A classy staying power. An inner reserved confidence in yourself. A determined faith in the possibilities of the future.
I have extremely high standards and can be quite picky and leave at the first sign of not feeling like any relationship or particular encounter is adding more to my life than I can alone. It's really important that I'd be happier with said other person than I could be without them, just living my life through my career, friends and family. Otherwise it feels like a waste of time just for the 'sake of a relationship' and without sounding business-like it's obviously an unworthy investment.
I'm in a serious long-term relationship at the moment and I must say I am really happy and feel lucky to have met my gf,
however,
there are many occasions where I could have lost her due to my being used to my own company and struggling with my inner fears and ideals. If she had let me push her away or allowed herself to become tired of breaking down my walls of reservation and self-preservation then I would've never have gotten a chance to see her diamond in the rough and formed such a meaningful union.
So while I'll say continue to never settle because you deserve someone who makes you happy (we hold out too long for just anything) I'll also say at the same time, whenever you do form a special connection with someone and they give you signs of being worth it - be careful not to push them away and be open to it, so when the right person comes you don't miss them. Sometimes we only realise just how fitting someone is as we get to know them more in all their flaws and glory.
