What Are Your Non-Negotiables?

user

Millionaire Matchmaker‘s Patti Stanger will be putting her dating rules and advice to good use — for her own love life, after recently announcing her breakup to real estate executive Andy Friedman via Twitter, saying: 

“I just ended my relationship with Andy. It hit me really hard that I want kids in my life. You have to agree on the non-negotiables.”

It seems pretty crazy to me after being together five and a half years that such a deal breaker wouldn’t come up ’till this late in the game. But in her interview with Us magazine, it sounds like maybe he had wanted kids, and maybe she didn’t, and then they both changed their minds?

Have you ever been in a similar situation where it really came down to that one super-important issue (or issues) that ended the relationship? What are your non-negotiables? Share your story in the comments!
