And of course, settling was like "he does not have the intelligence or ambition to have a career, but at least he has a job and is not mooching off me, so oh well. Guess I should be grateful for that". And why do you not recommend Joshua Harris?

No biggie...we'd just call it a compromise. The More You Know...
As for Joshua Harris. Well, let's just say he's more than unreasonable. Have you ever heard of a book called 'I Kissed Dating Goodbye'? He basically goes on and on about staying pure and true to god and making sure you're so satisfied being single (by doing service etc.) that it doesn't matter whether or not you ever find yourself a partner. It's just out there, hardcore and basically unrealistic. Try it if you want, but I wouldn't spend money on it. Or his second book about how he met his wife.
