Relationship Deal Breakers: Are You Guilty Of Being Petty?

We like what we like and don’t like what we don’t like. It’s pretty simple. By the time we’re ready to date someone seriously, more than likely, or hopefully, we’ve figured out the things we want in a potential partner and the things we don’t want. It’s said that experience is our greatest teacher, and for many of us, we have experienced terrible partners in our life and know for sure that we don’t want that again! A person asked the question, “What is your pettiest deal breaker in a romantic relationship?” and the responses were some of the pettiest reasons for ending a relationship ever! But hey, we like what we like, right?

This Redditor said, “I like to think that I am very tolerant and comprehensive.
