What is an absolute deal-breaker in a relationship for you?
Pick one that is most important. There is no "all the above".
None of the above, but so many other things.
Cheating - with a football team.
Total lie about them self.
Dumber then a very small rock.
Death.
Just to name a few
Bat
Ok the flirting option is no fair!! Im sure there are alot of people out there, that are total flirts like me! I mean, I dont do it to cheat or anything else. Thats just how I am. I feel it is completely harmless. Now if the flirting leads to other things.......well thats a whole other story.

Lying about things that really matter is a deal-breaker for me.
I don't see flirting as a relationship threat, as long as it remains just flirting.
Lying is a total deal breaker! If you want to be with somebody then there is no reason for lies! Flirting is ok as long as it doesn't lead to other things!
I chose 'Other-explain'...my deal breaker would be any violence
I chose the remote control we have some nice discussions about during dancing with the starts and American Idol
Especially If Jake has a sporting game he wants to watch. There are times when having another TV is the deal settler.
Yes lying and being honest is #1 and should be but in our case that issue is always an open discussion so there are no surprises
so we discuss mundane things like the remote
I Have a good one. Its when a spouse for no apparent reason decides to cut off sexual relations entirely. I am in that boat after 33 years of mariage. No sex in the last 4 years. Ay 57 years old I am too old to start over. In retaliation and without her knowing I have changed my life insurance policies to make my children the benifactors.
why and how did you go 4 years with no action?

that's really sad Baker, my heart goes out to you!!!
For me?? I'd say lying because I always try to be honest and that's all I ask in return!!
That would have been a breaked for me!!!!!!!!!!!
We all get old and past it at sometime, plus of course libido's fail
and some medical problems don't help
Cheating, lying or violence - three big trust and safety issues.
It's a toss up for me between lying and cheating.
DB thats why they make drugs, for that problem.
I would say lack of communication and lack of intimacy and abuse in any form whether it's physical or emotional. These would all be reasons why I just left a 20+ year relationship.
Courage MA, Courage my sister.
None of the above, but a little flirting can lead to bad feeling towards one another. My deal breaker was mental and physical violence and an affair. Dinking too much.
I went for lying as I've dealt with alot of that but also cheating. I dont understand the women who take their blokes back after they've cheated.
Lying is the biggie for me. His only acceptable lies are when I try to get hints about Christmas or birthday gifts, but other than that, even if he lied about having a beer with his friends instead of coming straight home, I'd be very upset with him. I've been 100% honest with him from day one, and I expect the same in return.
Cheating wouldn't be a deal-breaker because he'd be dead.

mental or physical abuse of any kind, lying, lack of communication and intimacy ... flirting can be harmless as long as it stays just that ...
violence. not acceptable, ever.
