For me, the main deal breakers are dishonesty, lack of respect, and any form of emotional or physical abuse. Trust is foundational, so if my partner lied or broke trust in a serious way—like infidelity—I’d feel compelled to have an honest conversation right away. If those issues couldn’t be resolved, I’d consider ending the relationship. Disrespect or controlling behavior are also non-negotiable. It’s important to establish boundaries and recognize when they’ve been crossed beyond repair.
