money couldn't be it for me unless he was spending all of it on shit and never helping out and spent it all on himself and acted irresponsibly with it to the extent that it harmed us. Infidelity, could be. Physical and emotional abuse, definitely. The main deal breaker for me, within a relatively normal relationship, would be completely not understanding each other on the deepest level, i.e. values and future goals.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
