Relationships are about compromise. You learn to put up with each other's faults. You deal with the little annoying things that can sometimes grate your nerves. Basically, you decide if the good outweighs the bad and that you can love someone, faults and all, forever.
Everyone has things that they can't compromise on though. I have them. You have them. Here are some things that I have been told are my faults... and some of these things I will never change. (Which probably explains why I'm still single, but that's a discussion for another day.)
- If you talk to me during a movie (in theater or at home) other than to say the place is on fire or you're choking to death on popcorn, then I'll pretty much strangle you right there. I can't stand people interrupting my movie flow. It's never gonna change.
- If I'm cooking and you try to butt into my kitchen, then I'll become the biggest bitch you've ever seen. A bitch with knives no less. If you wanna help me, ask. Just don't try to take my kitchen away from me. Note: I have become a little better about this over the years, but it's still my kitchen.
- I like pets. I have to live in a house with pets. They just make a house a home. Don't even try to pursue a relationship with me if you don't like cats or dogs. We won't make it very far because I will not compromise on this. My cat has been with me far longer than you have.
- Speaking of things I will never compromise on is my family. They will always be in my life. I will always be there for them. If your family isn't important to you, I doubt my family will have any meaning for you. Let's just say good-bye now.
- When I get really excited about something, I ramble. And ramble. And ramble some more. Sometimes I have to be told to put a cork in it.
- I'm super competitive and a perfectionist. The two don't go together so well. I've tried working on it, but the perfectionist in me just won't die.
- I will be a mother someday through natural means or adoption, but I will be a mother. If you don't want kids, then go ahead and scamper off. This is non-negotiable.
So what are some of your known faults? (Or things you've been told are a fault?) And don't be afraid to say what isn't up for negotiation.

Some of those things I don't consider to be "faults," Star. Wanting to be a mother? Your family being important to you? Those certainly are not faults! If anyone has told you otherwise, they're off the deep end. =)
Some of my faults? I am very stubborn/opinionated. I don't like to be "shushed." I'm sure there's plenty more though haha.
