What is the one thing about yourself that you're simply not willing to compromise about and that your significant other is just going to have to accept?

~~~

For me, it's that I just. don't. cook. And I have ZERO interest in learning. I mean, I can nuke up a delicious tasting meal (thank goodness for the delicious and relatively wholesome array of pre-cooked meals from Trader Joes), but if he expects me to be cooking things from scratch (or to never go out to eat), I'm not the girl for him

How about you? What's your "one thing"?

That I've been dedicated to fitness for over 40 years and it's the one thing I'll never give up.

The books stay. Friends may come and go, girlfriends, too- but I must have my books. I'm a reader for life. While I like to do active things and outdoorsy things, while I'm comfortable with cooking and doing chores, I must have my reading time each day or bad things will happen.

Step away from those books, and nobody gets hurt. *grin*

Letting yourself go isn't an option. I keep myself in good shape. I expect the same level of self respect in a partner.

You should do what I did to my backyard. Barkdust, rocks, sand, gravel and pavers...no grass! Problem solved!

What??? I love to cook!

My one thing is I'd rather not do dishes! If I cook for you every night, I would greatly appreciate if you could at least rinse of your plate and put it in the dish washer. I think that a man doing the dishes is a great "thank you" he can give for a nice home cooked meal.

same as you, lol. my mother is convinced that that is why I'm not married.

I can assemble a mean salad, make eggs and George Forman some fish, and that's the extent of my skills.

I won't give up my academic goals. I'm going to get my Ph.D. in history and that's non-negotiable. It's a must-have.
