Get Over These 9 Relationship Deal Breakers In 2020 If You Want A Healthy Relationship (3 of 3)

They want pets

For starters – humans always outlive their pets – and you are in for the long game in this case. Further, you might actually end up finding something you didn’t expect from a relationship with pets.

You aren’t a dog person? Well, plan a few dates and visit some dog parks, breed meetups, or even Facebook groups. The idea is to explore what your partner’s interests are, and then try out those things for yourself to see if it works for you or not, rather than dismissing it outright as a deal breaker.

They are way too short (or tall)

If you are not at all flexible on your standards for minimum height requirements, you are actually missing out on the magic that is right in front of your eyes.

According to Tammy Shaklee, it is alright to have an ideal height requirement in mind, but it shouldn’t be absolute. The key here is to widen your search and while there is a strong human instinct behind why we have a height standard, it is always a better idea to look for what height range makes you comfortable for attachment and intimacy. He goes on to add that one should focus on the person more, rather than his or her life, especially if they are enjoying their lives to the fullest at that size.

They are way too old for you

Age is definitely more than just a number, but it isn’t as important as it used to be a hundred years ago. Turning 60 or 70 years old in today’s time doesn’t mean what it used to, a few decades ago.

According to Shaklee, if your focus is on the age, rather than the actual person, your focus is at the wrong place. You should be looking at the health, vibrancy, and wellness of your potential partner instead – not the age. If you both can adjust to and make certain changes in your lives, you can enjoy many more years of your life together.
