I don't have kids, don't do drugs, never even considered an open relationship and beliefs are fine so long as they're not fanatical or trying to convert me, as I don't believe in any of it.

I don't have any set rules per se, other than be honest. Everything else is negotiable.wave

kids = if you choose to be with a partner that has kids, accept that package

drugs = if they choose that path and you want them to pass it up, then good luck .. it will only work if they are willing to accept the help you offer but otherwise nah uh let it slide

open relationship = pointless

religion = each to their own

thanks for letting me opiniate wave

No. I have compromised on some big issues before, and although I don't regret the time I had with the man I did it for, I won't do it again for a committed relationship.

Not on big issues I wouldn't, but on little stuff sure most things can be worked out or compromised on.wink
I don't do drugs or want a druggie or someone who drinks a lot, I don't do open relationships and so long as they don't push their religion on me or put my beliefs down. I believe most everything else is workable.

I think people need to be clear in their own mind, from the start in a relationship, as to what things in a partner are negotiable, and which are not.

That way, people don't spend the next xx number of years, trying to change the opther person. That never works, and should be avoided at all costs. JMOdunno

Kids thumbs up - Sure, I have my own
Drugs thumbs down - Take a walk loser
Open relationship: thumbs down - Never happen
Religion: dunno - Never been an issue

Major 'rules' are not to be broken in my life by myself or my SO.

Kids are accepted wholeheartedly as they are innocent and part of the person's life. No children is likewise fine as I could never place that sort of demand on someone. (One of us would have to get 'fixed' though as I am fertile like the Nile River Delta).
Drugs are a definite never in a million years. Alcohol is a close second to that as well.
Open relationships, well that speaks for itself, open the door and wish them good luck. Then change the locks and have their belongings packed and in the driveway. No second guessing here.
Religion is not something I truly want but belief as long as it is subjective and not objectively demanded is fine.

Again this is the current person we are defining here. Anything that is in the past is not something I could include in these rules if it is no longer in the present, and I have no reason to carry such 'baggage' forth when the other person has left it behind.

true,

but
sometimes one of 2 might develop taste for "open relationships"
where 1 of 2 might be accident-prone


dunno not always can be avoided from the start.

that is true, but generally, things that devlop along the way are part pf the person's personality makeup anyway. People who believe in loyalty and faithfulness etc, don;t just become completely hedonistic, unless they aquire brain damage of some kind. But I do concede, there may be some circumstances that could not be forseen years earlier.

no I dont comprimise on the big things

drugs - thats always a bad road to go down

open relationship - whats the point, its just a nice way of saying, cheating.

kids - I have mine, she may or may not have any, if so they are part of the deal, as for more, I dont want any.

religion - I dont by any means push it, but I believe what I believe, and hope her views are somewhat the same.

all the rest is just the small stuff that tends to work its self out on its own.
