What are your three non-negotiables (in a relationship)?

girl_dee · 10-19-2012, 04:21 PM

Being a responsible adult, not rich but has their life in order. They vote, pay taxes, have insurance... you know, adult stuff. i need to respect you and i cannot do that if you have an excuse for why you cannot be a functioning adult.

Must not have an addiction. Everyone has a cross to bear, i just can't be that caring, supportive partner who understands but wants things to be better, only to have it backfire on me.

Must be Dominant, take charge kinda person 24/7 and not just when it's convenient. i need that stability. Someone who commands respect, not demands it.

Must love dogs, can't leave that out.

Responsibility - both personal and financial.

No children in the home. Sorry just not my thing and I know it. So why pretend otherwise.

Love and be adventurous about food.

These are only the first three that come to mind. I have many more, probably why I'm happy being single. LOL

1. i need my space, my things. i don't mind sharing, but if you can't use it and put it back where you got it from and my thing be in the same condition as it left, ... don't touch it to begin with.

2. i need a muse. i need that special person to be creative. we give and take, ... inspiration. i really need this.

3. selfish. self-centered. it's not always about "you".
