Deal Breakers

Abusiveness. I'm the type of person that will cut you off if you even RAISE a hand at me. Or even SUGGEST that I give up friends or a hobby. I've had this happen and trust me my love leaves so fast. XD You are guaranteed to ruin your chances if you even try at manipulation and abuse. I also do not like cheating/open relationships. And I also do not like superficiality or closed-mindedness. Basically, be a decent person. That's what I ask for.

A lot of times deal breakers tend to not be so. They're more along the lines of what people are willing to chase after, and turn offs sometimes prevent that outright. When love comes knocking, however, many people drop their virtues to answer the door. And it's not necessarily a bad thing. It doesn't make someone hypocritical. It's just people not understanding what it is they really want, or how badly they want to be loved.

You have a very good point Shinu. Many people THINK they have deal breakers. However, the feeling that we call love, is such a powerful drug, many can't say no ever. Hence why abusive relationships are so common. Or why cheaters get away with what they do often. While I agree a few 'deal breakers'that are flexible is a good thing, as it helps show you, what you really care about. However, there should be a few at least, that aren't so flexible. The ones I stated for instance are my clear cut, this is mandatory for a longterm relationship. However, there are tons of small things that could turn me off of someone, However, as they are more preferences, Instead of deal breakers, I didn't speak up about them. While you should always work hard, and forgive, especially in relationships, There are some standards that should be kept.
