Every relationship is a matter of compromise, nobody gets a 100% of what they want in a partner. Relationships often comes with a price of entry, because no one is perfect. The price is the thing you will have to accept in exchange for being with that person. Sometimes the price is relatively low, an inconvenience that can be easily overlooked, other times it's considerably great and requires more consideration on a persons part. It's important that couples cultivate a willing attitude to consider altering their beliefs or behavior in order to create a deeper level of trust and respect in the relationship. If there is no willingness on the part of an alcoholic to address their drinking, no desire on the part of an abusive partner to get help, no willingness for couples to discuss openly and respectfully with spouse, the chances of any of those situations being or becoming a deal breaker is greatly increased.

It's important in relationship building that partners be open to reflecting on ways in which may be unknowingly contributing to the situation or to discovering ways in which they can be more effective in dealing with their concerns.

Most things people consider to be deal breakers are an outgrowth of stigma, of ignorance, of social pressure and its worth scrutinizing your deal breaker and just why you have them.
