Deal Breaker

Everyone’s got one. You know, the one thing someone can do and when they do it, all bets are off. I’m sure each one of you out there has broken up with someone (not a marriage, but a boyfriend/girlfriend thing) over something silly. I broke up with Tom* because he kept burping during a movie. Oh, and I broke up with Lou* because he had this mole on his neck that grossed me out. I have a friend who broke up with a guy because he wore white pants to a party. Seems logical to me.

Or maybe you’ll date someone forever but Lord help him if he smacks you on the rear, then he’s outta here. Or if he shows up at your house in an airbrushed t-shirt. Shudder. Jon knows that my deal breaker- the only reason I’d divorce him (other than the obvious like adultery, murder, child molesting, abuse, etc.) is if he ever dumped water on me while I’m in bed. The idea of it just makes me so mad. Not sure why exactly, but that’s it. Jon’s deal breaker is that I’m not allowed to use any type of tool on him. He won’t let me trim his cuticles or anything like that. I’m not allowed to bring any type of tool anywhere close to him. Weirdo. ;)

So…what’s your deal breaker? And, have you ever broken up with someone because of something silly?
