What do you need in a partner?

What are the qualifications that you cannot compromise on in a relationship?
What do you do if you are committed to someone who is good but who cannot or will not provide those needs?

Financial stability, travel lover, share house chores (I live in a country where most men treat their wives like maids!), absolute certainty that the person will never cheat on me, hmmm. These are a few I could think of for now

@solitaire Life changes so much. I don't think that any partner can provide absolute certainy on anything in life. Love is a real risk but otherwise I enjoyed and agree with your qualifications.

@REMsleep I think a few things are mandatory for me or else I'd rather be single (already had one failed marriage, can't risk another failed one)

@solitaire

share house chores

Great! Not a problem. Now ... I "require" a woman who can competently share fixing and maintaining the car, heavy yardwork, plumbing, electrical repairs, and sharpen knives, ... while I put the laundry in the washer and push a button.
Be that YOU?
Fair?

@SmileOnYourBrother Bro I'm from India. For plumbing problems we hire a plumber and for electrical problems we hire an electician. For mechanical problems we sent the car to the mechanic 😃.

@SmileOnYourBrother Does not matter cos I am most probably going to remain single. I do have a right to express what my ideal partner would be like though 🤔

@solitaire Well then you can hire a maid to "share" in the household chores. Fair? I hope YOU are "financially stable". Maids, electricians, nmechanics, and plumbers cost a lot of money. 🤭😉
Anyway, I can cover sharing the household chores. What do you offer in return besides astronomical service bills? (as if I don't already know 🤭)
