Define My Relationship Deal-Breakers

I keep tolerating things in relationships that I shouldn't, and I need to get clear on my actual non-negotiables.

Things that have bothered me in past relationships: [LIST]
Things I've excused that I probably shouldn't have: [HONEST]
What I ultimately want in a partner: [DESCRIBE]

Help me:
1. **Identify my actual deal-breakers** — not preferences, but genuine non-negotiables
2. **Distinguish deal-breakers from preferences** — the difference matters
3. **How to spot them early** — which ones show up in the first month
4. **The ones I've been ignoring** based on what I've shared
5. **How to hold my standards** when I really like someone
6. **A written list** I can return to when I'm tempted to compromise
