Deal Breaker

A deal breaker is that 'something' that you can't just take.
Its an issue within a relationship that results in one partner breaking up with another.
That 'catch' that you cannot overlook and which ultimately outweighs any redeeming quality the other person might have.

In my opinion, Everybody has a deal breaker.
Some know it already, and some people don't  but when they do encounter that situation, then they know its a deal breaker.
 As in they cannot take it and they wont take it and nobody can convince them otherwise.

It could be a cheating spouse, cos for some men i know, you cheat once and they are OUT of that marriage/ relationship. If the woman likes she should cry blood. No show!
Same goes for some women, if a man cheats, No second chances oh.

 For some, its the man/woman having kids from a previous marriage or even single parents. I know men whose deal breaker is single mums. No matter how much they may be in love they can't ever date a woman who has given birth. And if they do get to discover she has a child or children they are out immediately. No looking back.


Deal breakers need not make "sense" by society's standards. They are specific to individuals and relationships.
A deal breaker could also be Divorce, a lying partner, keeping a secret , a frivolous shopper, snoring, bad breath, body odour, height, skin colour, physical attributes, occupation. Even tribe and race can be a deal breaker for some.

It could also be interests and hobbies of a prospective partner. A guy who collects Comics or action figures, still lives at home with his mum, likes wearing womens underwear can be a deal breaker for some, while others might not mind.

As for me what i used to think was my deal breaker when i was younger isn't so any longer.
My deal breaker is jealous guys, unintelligent guys and guys who try to lower their partners  self esteem.
THAT, i wont ever ever tolerate.
Any other thing i may or may not tolerate , but those three, forget it. Nothing pisses me off as much as an insecure guy , guys i cant have a conversation with, and those ones who intentionally or unintentionally hurt with their words. Mba! No be me.
I cannot come home and one husband will be sniffing my pants to know if I cheated. Isn't that just gross. Yet I know women whose partners do it.
P.S. You need to attend a divorce hearing. You will hear so many sordid details, you will kind of wish you hadn't.


Do you know your deal breaker? What is that thing you cant tolerate or compromise at all at all.
Whats your deal breaker? I really want to know.

  1. I never thought of it this way but it's actually a deal breaker. I can't date anyone who doesn't love Jesus as much as I do.
