These days, it seems like countless things are standing in the way of finding and maintaining a healthy relationship. Whether you find that you have differing views from someone regarding something concrete in your life, such as politics or religion, or if you simply find their social media habits off-putting, there are plenty of red flags that you are on the lookout for when it comes to your romantic relationships.
While there are some obvious deal breakers that you will likely have when it comes to the relationships you choose to pursue, there are also those instances when something surprising comes to light that you never thought would pose a problem for you. Such occurrences aren’t uncommon, however, and can end up being deal breakers for most people.
With that in mind, here are three of the more surprising deal breakers that can stand in the way of someone wishing to pursue a romantic relationship with another person.
1. Differing Opinions on UFOs
Unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, have been a source of fascination for people for ages. The concept that we are not alone in the universe is intriguing for most people and has sparked some heated debates throughout time. However, the subject has become even more of a hot-button one in recent years.
The internet and social media have made it easier than ever before for private individuals to publish their personal UFO sightings leading many to believe that such sightings are more common than previously believed. In fact, around one-third of Americans believe that some reports of spacecraft visiting our planet are true.
With so many people taking UFO sightings seriously, it should come as no surprise that opposing views on this matter can present an issue for a romantic relationship. Those who believe in such sightings tend to stick to their guns when challenged on the topic, while those who don’t believe in the validity of UFO sightings can find such beliefs to be off-putting.
2. Poor Grammar
While not everyone can consider themselves to be a member of the “grammar police”, most people find that good grammar is an important part of written and verbal communication in everyday life. Being with a partner who does not practice good grammar can become increasingly irritating for such individuals.
From day-to-day conversations to text messages, seeing and hearing a person practice poor grammar can prove to be too much to bear for someone who understands the basic premises of the English language.
3. Social Media Faux Pas
Whether you love it or hate it, it is hard to deny just how significant social media has become. It is so significant that many people find that they cannot be in a relationship with another person who commits some of the more common social media faux pas.
For instance, finding out that an individual frequently posts things to their social media without fact-checking or thinking things through can leave you feeling less confident in that person’s ability to act as a suitable partner for you.
