Many people posses certain characteristics or have distinct habits that others deem “deal breakers” in a relationship. These deal breakers have the potential to stop an adult dating relationship from beginning in the first place. Some deal breakers are small, minute issues that some people don’t notice are a big deal to them until their lifestyles change. Others are huge issues that understandably would break up or halt a relationship in its tracks. Have you ever had to turn someone down because of a deal breaker? We’re you ever on the receiving end of a deal breaker that you weren’t willing to change in order to make the relationship work?
TOP 15 DEAL BREAKERS
- Contacting An Ex
There is no reason your partner should be contacting their ex unless you already know they are friend or they are literally bound together for life i.e. they have a child together. - Cheating
If anyone ever cheats on me, they are gone. I would never accept any excuses for this one. - Different Religions
Religious issues can be tricky to deal with. If you aren’t willing to convert for someone else (which I completely understand) then it probably won’t work. - Hate Each Other’s Families
Your families don’t have to get along, and you don’t HAVE to like each other’s families, but if you try living your life like this you will only notice that things will get harder and harder. Either make peace or find someone else. - Smoker
If you aren’t a smoker and you kiss a smoker you will taste an ashtray. Also, who wants to encourage the slow cancerous death of their partner? - Unfortunately Small in the Pants
Many women (and men) may deny this one, but come on folks it’s definitely a deal breaker. If you are too small to reach the g-spot there MAY be a problem. Depends on how shallow the person you are dating is. - Side of the Bed
Now this one seems like a small issue, but you would be surprised how many people I know get frustrated when their partners ALSO sleep on the right side of the bed and won’t give it up for them. Personally, I don’t understand it. - Rude to Service Workers
If you are constantly rude to anyone really, you probably will find yourself without a date for quite some time. - Bad Hygiene
Guys need to shower every day. Girls can get away with every other day. Men don’t need to manscape, but a trim job would be nice at LEAST once every 6 months. Men, you need to treat your women right, think of the pain they go through to be hairless and beautiful for you. Cut your toenails, and finger nails as well. - Has Children
Some people don’t want to take on the responsibility of playing “step mom/dad”. Understandable. - Homeless
This is kind of a given. I have no words. - Always on the Phone
If you are always on your Crackberry during dates, etc. you are a loser. - Likes Nickleback
WHO LIKES NICKLEBACK?! - Tattoos
A lot of people these days have tattoos, but their are still a few men and women who can’t handle their partner’s bodies covered in ink. - Uneducated
If you are as dumb as a rock, and extremely good looking, your good looks will only last for so long until your partner realizes they can’t hold a decent conversation with you for more than ten minutes. Personally, I can’t date anyone who has horrible grammar issues.
I’d love to hear feedback from you guys. What are some of your deal breakers?
