Realistic Expectations: Musts and Can’ts

I would suggest that the first thing that you need to do is to make a list of traits that are “non-negotiable.  These are your “musts and can’ts”.   For example, if you absolutely positively can’t stand someone who smokes, then smoking is a non-negotiable “can’t”.  Likewise, if you want your partner to share a particular interest with you such as church attendance, then this is a “must.”

These “musts” and “can’ts” are the show stoppers.  Without meeting these conditions, the relationship can’t go forward.

Make the list and then wait several days.  Then review it and see if you still agree with the list.  Once you have settled on the list, DON’T COMPROMISE.  After all, these traits made the list for a reason.  Don’t throw that reason out just because you met someone who does not comply with the list.

  2. Thanks for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbor were just preparing to do a little research about this. We got a grab a book from our area library but I think I learned more from this post. I am very glad to see such great information being shared freely out there.

  3. I do agree with all the ideas you’ve offered to your post. They are very convincing and can definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are too quick for beginners. May you please extend them a little from next time? Thank you for the post.
