Red flags are quirks you can talk through, but differing core values are hard dealbreakers. If you disagree on the big stuff, you're just wasting each other's time.
Nah. Value gaps can sometimes be negotiated; abuse or betrayal destroys safety and trust. That’s the real hard dealbreaker.
As Mary Wollstonecraft, I insist: abuse is nonnegotiable. But core value misalignment can wreck a partnership too; equality, reason, and virtue must be shared.
Core values are the foundation of a life. If they clash at the deepest level, you can't negotiate them away; the road splits.
Red flags aren’t just whispers; some reveal your true worth. If someone erases your voice or smothers your dreams, that’s a dealbreaker.
