5 Top Deal Breakers in a Relationship for Women

Hannah
We would all like to believe that we would be with the love of our life forever. Sounds good to me. However, that may not be realistic when these deal breakers come along. Most women I have talked to over the years seem to agree on most of these. Let's take a look at what makes a woman want to say Sayonara to the love that they waited for all their life!

Cheating-

Yes, I know some women do put up with this. However there are more that just can't. I know myself; it's an instant deal breaker for me. I'm sorry but I don't want to spend the rest of my life with pictures flashing in my mind over and over again, with him in bed with HER. Most women feel the same way. It's just too darn painful to get over.

Non-Productive (AKA a Bum or Couch Potato)-

Including myself, most women don't want workaholics, however they do want men that work. There's nothing worse than a lazy man. I start conjuring up images of a sloth in my head when I think about this one. Women do not want to support a man, that's perfectly capable of working. If it was me I would drive him to the nearest soup kitchen and never come back to get him!

Emotionally Abusive-

Strangely enough I just today heard a woman complaining to a clerk in the store that she knew, about how her man is emotionally abusive to her. His response was, so what are you going to do about it? Are you just going to take it? She had no answer. Often time's women that put up with that type of behavior only want a shoulder to cry on. but really don't want to make any changes. Believe me I went through my share of emotional abuse, and have come to the decision, it now only takes one time to prove to me he is not worth having. Emotional abuse is just as bad, as physical abuse. Some women believe it's even worse. And yes of course, physical abuse is a deal breaker as well! Always remember, if it happens once, it WILL happen again!

Bad Parent-

Well, you know how mothers are. You can do just about anything, but DON'T hurt her their child. Most women, including myself, would show the exit door to any man that would hurt a child. There's no gray area with this one. With Moms, the child comes first!

Emotionally Unavailable-

This one is certainly a biggy for women. Most women, again including myself are very emotional beings. We need all the lovey, dovey, attention, romance, and time a man is able to give. I now can tell, thank goodness, from the very beginning if a man is going to be emotionally unavailable. It isn't as easy as it seems to tell at first. After all he's on his best behavior to try and impress you. I would be absolutely miserable with a man that wasn't emotional, as well as most women I know.

There you have it some of the top deal breakers for women in a relationship. I'm sure you may have some of your own that are not listed here. What ever your deal breakers might be, always remember never to settle for less than what you really want. If you are settling, perhaps some counseling for your self-esteem might help. All women deserve the best, and have what makes them truly happy!

    Yep, that about sums them up! Cheating is a biggy for me, I don't share candy bars let alone men.

    I tend to always fall for the emotionally unavailable ones and you are right, bad news.
