Everyone has a deal breaker. Love of your life and all, but there’s that one thing that breaks the deal. Peau inspired me to ask, and I’m curious what it is for all. If my mom didn’t read my blog I’d spill what I believe is hers and my stepfather’s, and I consider it a great one. I don’t even know what my dad’s is.

Mine is cheating. Either one of us cheats and it’s a wrap. The cheating can even just be emotional… you’re spending way too much time thinking about another person rather than the one you’re committed to, legally or not, and that’s just the end in my mind. That signals that you’ve finished with that person and it’s time to stop hurting them so they can go be healthy with someone else.

Other people… that’s an accepted piece of baggage. Thankfully, it’s a mutually unacceptable piece of baggage for me and my man.

So, what’s yours? And has it changed over the years? (Even if I mentioned you, you can still comment. Maybe you have more than one piece. Or maybe you want to elaborate on your one piece.)

I think I realized I have another deal breaker, so I’ll put it in the comments.
