let's dish: what do you consider a relationship deal breaker?

A friend of mine recently went out on a date and told me afterwards, "He's great, except might have two potential deal breakers: he's balding and has back hair." I'm pretty sure most guys will bald or have back hair at some point so, for me, those aren't deal breakers. I'd say a guy who is disrespectful of his mother would really make me question the future of the relationship. Respect for women and family goes a long way in my book. Oh, and cheating of course....(looks like our Jude doesn't pass much!)

What do you consider a dealbreaker?

Cheating and lying. Can't handle it. Don't understand it. Also, a couple has to match on one thing. I have seen it destroy couples before. You are either a late person or an early person. Meaning, you either arrive early or late to events, every time! If your significant other is not the same, deal breaker!

Cheating and abusiveness. I don't mean just physical or mental either. Being disrespectful or taking your significant other for granted is being abusive. And I humbly disagree with Ashley. My dad is always early, and my mom is always late. They've been married for 26 years and still going strong.

Katrina, no need to humbly disagree. I love that your parents proved me wrong. I, however, couldn't do it. I get high anxiety when I know I might be late (when re-read that sounds funny). I get nervous and anxious and all together a mess. Luckily, my husband is worse than I am and must be a good 20 minutes early to all events. We never go in that early because we don't want to be "those" people. So, we sit in the car and make fun of ourselves.

Gosh, I know Jude is a cheating, lying jerk, but he and Sienna are ridiculously cute together. And has anyone else noticed that she dresses better when they're together? During their breakup she was starting to look a little bag lady-ish even though she is possibly the most stunning woman. Two musts for me are humor and honestly and luckily my husband cannot tell a lie and it's possibly why he is so funny. We are also opposites in the early/late arrival dept. I hate being late, but my husband usually underestimates how much time it takes to get ready. We've found ways to compromise, though.

Ashley - Totally agree. I think both opposites couples work, as well as like couples. They can be crazy but do-able.

Katrina - I hate disrespectful people. In general.

Nicole - Ha, see, I can't STAND Jude now. After that whole scandal I lost total respect for him. Sienna does look much better though.

You all went for the heavy-duty answers! I thought someone might say "bad teeth" or "snores" or something. Ha!

This is a little late, however, top 2 would definately be having no motivation, and bad teeth, also mandals (men who wear sandals, like the sport-strappy velcro kind)
