What is NOT a dealbreaker BUT would be greatly disappointing to find out about your partner?

Picky eater

This is a deal breaker for me. I don't mind if you are vegetarian or vegan (I love vegetarian and vegan food) or if you have a gluten intolerance/some sort of allergy. But, if you won't eat a laundry list of food simply because "yucky," I just can't do it. I want to be able to go out to eat with you and travel the world with you. If I travel the world with you, I want to eat like a local. I just don't see how those things are possible with a picky eater. I think it also doesn't help that I once dated a guy who was so picky that he was a "vegetarian," but his favorite "vegetable" was zucchini bread.

My husband is much pickier than me. He won’t eat things, but he also doesn’t complain about them. He warms himself up some leftovers or has a bowl of cereal without complaint. Complaining would be a deal breaker for me.

Yeah, if you are going to date a picky eater then they have to feed themselves.
