Most people would agree that they would prefer to be in a relationship than alone. This is particularly true if the person in question is single at the moment. However, even at one’s lowest, it’s best to always have a few red lines, because a bad relationship is worse than just being alone.

I had that. She started off so nice, i trusted her completely. It was a difficult time but walking away from her was the best thing I have ever done.
Yeah, that's not fair at all. But you should watch for the signs too.
The opposite for me, how am I expected to hear what they're saying if I can't read it?
Like most of my family, I have a severe hearing loss. This is an absolute necessity for us.
It's really hard for me to process information, and quickly, so subtitles help. I have two ways to absorb info which makes processing faster and easier
dude i only watch Kdramas if someone said this I'd say "Ok are YOU going to translate this for me?"
Because dialogue is always super quiet and all other sounds are super loud. Also English is not my first language, I speak fluently but sometimes I miss some things without English subtitles.

I'd find it pretty disturbing if I was the only person he's talking to.
Wouldn't hurt to be able to be funny on your own. My husband made a promise to himself to make me laugh every day. Sometimes it involves memes, but mostly it will be something he says.
...I'm a disappointment in bed that you absolutely should have to experience tonight...🤔 🙅🏽 🤭
That's what nightlights are for and idc what anyone thinks. I need just enough light to know my eyes still work ok when I wake up to go pee 187 times a night, but not enough to keep me awake.
A good pillow over the nose and mouth will stop that! Don't act like you haven't thought about it!! 👩🏼🦰
Just experienced this. He said she was "just a friend". I knew better but still tried it, I feel so stupid!
Very different standards of "clean" and "neat" can make one crazy!!
I had an ex like that. Barely laughed at anything I said (and I'm funny dammit!) but she would laugh when watching something on TV. Was so surreal to hear her giggle.
If you are starting over, then you know the last situation was bad. Congrats!! It takes a huge amount of courage to start over. Give yourself a pat on the back, I for one, am proud of you.
My ex husband knew that marriage was important to me and that I wanted to be married only once. I've been single since our divorce finalized 6 years ago now, and he's on wife #4...
Oh honey, I got your back on this one. If you want something, get it. There's no going home. If he/she canna supply you with the basics, you have to move on. It will become a habit.
You deserve a badge or whatever is the thing now. SOOO many people go thru this.
This must be a guy. Sometimes I say "we need to talk ", and then it's "what do you want for breakfast? "
I'd actually prefer the honesty. Otherwise, I'm gonna assume you like it and make it again at some point.
My biggest fear is that I won't know what I've got till its gone. Regrets, etc.
Whelp, that's me out... I've never seen sponge Bob and I don't have tik tok.

my biggest fear actually happened: partner not telling me what's bugging them and breaking up over it
Wanting to move in together. I’ve had several decades to realize that I hate living with other people. I just need my own place. Relationships where we meet up, do stuff, then go to our own homes are great. But I ain’t giving up my living alone for anything that’s not a cat.
Constant blaming/criticizing. Unwilling to look at their own actions. They think they're perfect or always right. No one is perfect, we all screw up from time to time. I need a partner who is focused on personal growth and development.
Your first three phrases best describe my biological "father" to a tee.

Finding the right person then they get really sick, or worse die young.
BP, the poll at the end needs an "all of the above" option. All four of those are fundamental deal breakers for me and I can't choose just one.
Am I going to lose him to PTSD/anxiety/depression and/or addiction relapse?
