The breakup clichés that we always hear usually have to do with cheating partners that one of the partners was a cheater or there was a major incompatibility in the relationship. What we Cheezcakers believed to be small "icks" in partners actually can carry heavier weight and even be major dealbreakers for people in relationships.

In a Reddit thread, a lot of these dealbreakers have to do with life experiences that contribute to a distaste for someone that carries that familiar "negative" quality. Other times, there are light things that supposedly would end up being such a strong "annoyance" that it becomes not even worth dating that person.

Either way, relationships are never broken without a rationale, even if that is what a partner claims. Because of this, we encourage you to discover your values and what is important in a partner before starting a relationship with someone. This can help you push past the little "icks" and find someone that you are fundamentally compatible with, and build from there!

    Font - yankee407 16 days ago I just went ahead and got rid of all social media except reddit and LinkedIn. I found I now live in the moment so much more, and I take significantly fewer photos and videos. I'm not looking to "show off" what I'm doing anymore. It's freeing. 1.1k ↓ Reply Share

    Font - tornupinpisces To be honest, I feel relationships 16 days ago should be viewed like a conversation as they are a two-way thing. So if someone isn't putting in effort to keep the conversation going and you're the only one doing the talking, it's best to end it. 13 ↓ Reply Share

    Font - Whales Virginia - 16 days ago Personally I have one atleast one incompatability. I am not willing watch sports on tv as a hobby. I'll play them, I'll go to games if invited, I'll hang out and talk with you while they are on. But I'm not going to pretend I am the least bit interested in watching them, the outcome of them, who's playing who, or discussing them. 249 ↓ Reply Share

    Font - pwa09 16 days ago Being an annoying extrovert. If you have to be around groups of people every day and every weekend and like to go to the bar to drink every chance you get AND if you talk too much, we're not going to work out. I'm an introvert and a homebody that likes to keep things low key and we should enjoy each other's company without having to talk all the time to fill the air. Luckily, my spouse is an introvert like me so we mesh well. 31 ↓ Reply Share
