For those of you who are/were in a long term marriage, congratulations, and I mean that sincerely. Sad to say I don't know many who have been, but it's the luck of the draw as I see it. I'm not saying that in a catty way, just couples that I thought would be together forever, were perfectly matched, dated for years, didn't make it. The ones who are real shockers are those who live together for 5-6 yrs, get married, then separate shortly afterward.

If you were newly married or in a very serious relationship, what would be a deal breaker for you ...ASIDE from infidelity? Even that isn't a deal breaker for many, but it was for me and I have no regrets in ending it, tho it broke my heart.
 

From a partner I expect loyalty, which is something that extends beyond fidelity.
It is about not being betrayed in little ways as well as in the big things.
Occasional lapses can be forgiven but a consistent pattern would bring me to the point of walking away.
 
I've been happily married for 36 yrs, next month it'll be 37. We also lived together for a couple of years before we got married. A deal breaker to me would be physical or mental abuse...life is too short to tolerate that type of treatment from anyone.
 

Although a part of infidelity, I run from dishonesty, manipulation, insincerity, selfishness, stupidity and basic bland boring bitchiness...
 
Congrats Pappy, that's a gooood long time...hope we're healthy enough to see that number someday too. ;)
