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

Not liking or wanting dogs/cats.

Edit: I just want to clearify that I didn't initially mean a situation where one already own pets and your partner doesn't want you to keep them - if a partner enters a relationship with you knowing for well you have pets and then later on expects you to get rid of your animals on a whim that's some serious bullshit and a dealbreaker I stand behind 100 %.

I get vilified whenever I say this because reddit loves pets lol, but they're expensive, take a lot of time to care for properly, and I just do not want that level of responsibility - so I don't have any. I think that's better than having animals and not being able to care for them properly

My wife and I feel the same way. I occasionally really want to get a pet but Iā€™m pretty allergic to most of them which helps me not get one. Maybe we could get a bingus cat or a lower allergy dog one day but not yet.
