or is there any specific behavior in a partner that would be intolerable for you?
Anonymous(18-24)+1 yRed flags that would make me break up with someone:
1) no emotional or sexual love
2) only caring about my body and not my heart or not having respect for me
3) if I don't like him
4) if he has no respect for my family or If his family are horrible and making him take theur side all the time
5) if his apartment is worst than a dumpster, its a big red frag. Seriously that happened when I dated a guy in the summer. There were mountains of dirty close in EVERY room. There were hundreds of alcohol bottles and can everywhere, there were weeks of unwashed dishes, there were old food in his fridge, there were dirt and towel on the grund in his bathroom, there were a lot of food box such as pizza and other in the kitchen. Many dirt materials on the fluor. I tried to think that I might get to change him anf make him clean and not judge him so much. Ohh my god! I was so wrong. I cleaned 50% of his house, while he was just relaxing on the soffa and refusing to help out with cleaning. He only helpt out with taking out the trash. It gave me a headech. I started to think tjag if we continue to date, I might end up being his servant. So I broke up with him and never returned. Before i went ro his apartment for the first time, he was romantic. We went to the cinema, we went hiking, we went to swimmingpool together. Thats why I thought that I should not judge him so much and try to help him. My effort turned out to be usseless.
6) if he wants threesome
7) if he is so arrogant and selfish
8) if we have very bad communication full of missinderstandings
9) if he can't see me in his future
10) if he igrore me. If he see my text but answer many days after.
11) if he is a lier or a cheater.
12) if he has patriarkat mind that belittle women and think that men are superior and women are suppose to say yes to eveything.
13) if he takes my love for granted
14) if he try to trick my out of money. Well thats stupid because I don't even have money. Hahaha
15) if he is bad at taking responsible for his mistakes and deny them.01 Reply

+1 yControlling behavior, telling me what I can and can't do, like I am a child and he is the parent.
Many times, even things I do not want to do or have no interest in doing if he says I can't do it, I do it anyway just to see how he'll handle it. If he gets violent or even passive aggressive, it is over.
I won't tell him what he can and can't do.
I will request certain things, but never order or demand.
I also always request that after we've been together for a month or two, that we spend the day together and talk everything out, even if things are going good or bad.
By this, I mean, share our history, future plans (much of this may have come out already) this is simply to clear the air of any expectations. Now that we know each other pretty good and are comfortable, can talk about what we hope to get out of it, where we hope to be down the road.
If there are any deal breakers, that simply cannot be worked through... then we can go our own way in a peaceful breakup, rather than something coming up later in the future that surprises one of us.

1.7K opinions shared on Relationships topic. The most common behavior nowadays is women selfishly feeling entitled to whatever they want, expecting their partner to be a lump of clay they can mold as they wish.
Expecting more consideration and respect than she is willing to give would also be intolerable. Other red flags would be irresponsibility, insensitivity, not taking care of her emotional, mental and physical well-being, and complicating the lives of others. These are things within her control rather than things outside her control.
It all comes down to people being too self-focused to be healthy partners. If they don't choose to be active equal partners, they're not partners worth having. Be observant to see how your choices impact others rather than just focus on how you want them to impact you.

@orangecherry I can't say which came first (the chicken or the egg), but males are often just as dysfunctional as females. It's not surprising so many people are disillusioned by relationships. What's important isn't focusing on how people should be but paying attention and not ignoring the red flags when a partner is chosen.
I could write a long boring comment, but I won't. Let me put it this way. I can't list any specific things that would end my relationship. What would end my relationship is for her to mistake my kindness for weakness and start disrespecting me. If she is going to be late getting home after a crazy day and forgets to text me, that's not being disrespected. If she starts doing it all the time that is different. The list of things a partner can do that shows disrespect is long! Let's put it this way. Telling me a lie is just a symptom of the main problem "disrespect". I won't put up with it. NEVER confuse kindness with weakness, NEVER!

So you'd break up with him for drinking? Any amount of alcohol? And you'd break up with him for committing any crime what about jaywalking or something untruthful on his tax return? and just for flirting like with a waitress or something? omg you are not the prize you think you are hon
m +1 y@orangecherry Honey, why did you get so mad? I already got a REALLY amazing guy I am going to marry. So, don't worry about me. Worry about yourself, lol.
I was going to tell you what exactly I meant but since you just don't know how to talk to people. I refuse to answer your question. 🤷🏻♀️ So, keep moving.
It's difficult to point out one in particular because I'd have really a lot of instant dealbreakers to list.
So I will give 3 random ones that would lead me to a break up even with an established relationship:
- Lies (any lie, even small, or important omission, even not to me but to other people he cares about). Cheating has the same effect but that is a derivation of this point anyway.
- Mistreating animals / kids / disadvantaged people (including during his past before meeting me).
- Aggression, physical or verbal, even passive aggression (such as silent treatment, threatening to commit suicide or to put guilts and responsibilities on me for their own choices - for some personal reasons I became exaggerately allergic to passive aggression, even remote traces of that, or traits that could lead a person to be like that).02 Reply- +1 y
Nice to know you never lie. Or are you a hypocrite? Get over yourself hon
- +1 y
@orangecherry I don't know, I put my effort in never lying but always confronting any uncomfortable situation and in being just open and having nothing to hide, unless I'm being threatened or some other very problematic situations with unknown people but that would typically lead me to tell the truth anyway:"I don't want to tell this because I don't trust you", etc, and if you wonder: yes, I can find people of the same sort, not the majority, but yes. My circle of friends is quite selected around that, actually, even if I didn't do that on purpose, rationally. We just appear to be compatible...
If you are a liar and don't like feeling like someone might break the deal because you are not honest in general and don't match their standards, well, your problem, just match with guys who don't have this standard and you are all set.

If a partner Cheated the relationship would be done immediately, all of their property would be boxed up the same day and waiting for them to pick up, the locks would be changed, all passwords for banking, social media etc, everything they had access to, and blocked on the same social media, if they were on my phone plan they'd be removed that day, and my phone number/SIM card changed. If there is a shared bank account I'd remove half of the balance leave them the account and the balance, and then move on.

Just for flirting like with a waiter or something? isn't that harsh?
- +1 y
@orangecherry No I don't think so. It is pretty much telling the partner they are looking for someone else in my view. From either side guy or girl.
Being mean and not just to me to anyone and or unfair and sexist. Being mean is one thing that I cannot stand my ex was so mean to me and other people but obviously very sweet when he wanted something. Sexist ughhh don’t get me started on this. Omg or being fat phobic towards other girls it’s mean ! And insulting to judge other woman every BODY is beautifully created. This is what would prompt me to breakup with him. It’s just nasty behavior and shallow personality.
00 ReplyThere are a few I have tried to write it specifically, but it ends up being too narrowly focused and leaving out some possible stuff that would still trigger a breakup. But in general I would say dishonesty, cruelty, or extreme selfishness. Those could take different forms but in any form, if I felt like that was what I was seeing or experiencing, it would make me think about breaking up.

I'm not saying flirting is right or good behavior but is it really cheating?
Opinion Owner+1 y@orangecherry look up what flirting means. Its showing sexual/romantic interest in someone. If you flirt, you’re doing that. The last time i checked doing that while being in a relationship is bad.
- +1 y
some people act naturally in ways that are flirty they don't mean anything by it
Opinion Owner+1 y@orangecherry you dont show sexual/romantic interest by accident, that takes conscious effort.
People describe being “naturally flirty” as just being extroverted. Just because someone is extroverted doesn't mean its flirting.
Im talking about actual signs of flirting, again, something that shows actual interest. Touching is a strong indicator. Now you could argue that some people are touchy. That’s true, but they touch body parts that are not intimate, such as the shoulder. But if you go out of your way to touch something like a guy’s chest or his abdomen/belly, you aren’t being touchy, you are flirting. Even extroverted and touchy people know where they can and can not touch someone else.
Lets say you have a boyfriend/husband and he touches another’s girl’s shoulder lightly. You probably won't be mad about that. But what if he places his hand on her tummy? Feels wrong doesn't it? You would be mad in that case.- +1 y
Not sure if I would be mad at touching her tummy. It depends. Honestly the only time I would describe myself as mad or angry was when my boyfriend gave a girl a foot rub.
Opinion Owner+1 y@orangecherry touching someone’s belly is way more intimate than touching someone’s feet. Or no?
