What are you boundaries?

Curious as to what your "must do's" or "must not do's" are in relationships.

And I'm not talking "tall, handsome, american accent"!

Mine are:

Faithful
Polite and respectful
No physical violence
Able to criticise me

Without those, I'm not interested in a relationship no matter how I feel because I know it won't work long term. Does anyone else have checklists like this?

I take my tea hot, with a dash of milk and no sugar

No other way.

Kind
faithful
honest
no abuse at all (not just physical but emotional, financial, verbal, sexual)
kind
responsible
content (not bitter)
kind
One faced (the same person with everyone, from the homeless lady to the lady of the manor and everywhere in between)

and did I mention kind?????

I'm with foolonthehill and think kindness is the number one over-riding factor. And honesty and faithfulness.
Oh, and watch how he treats his mother. That could be you one day.

Not needing to compete with me.
Similar values to mine.
Not a Tory!
