Clingy / possessive behavior. I once had a guy that had been woo'ing me for some time, made himself to appear he had been doing well and had a good job, when he finally confessed to me that he had been unemployed for some time and that he was heading into bankruptcy and losing him home. That did it for me, not because people can't get through that kind of life struggle but because he blatantly lied about his situation. The lies were what did it for me, the rest was important but secondary.

For me, any illegal drug use, or abuse of other drugs and/or alcohol.
What do you think about an open relationship, friends with benefits, polyamory?

Those really turn me off fast.

Besides the obvious of drug, alcohol abuse, violent behavior; it would be deceit. Anyone who is massively deceitful, deceptive is not trust worthy, and also not worthy of my time.

The story is...we're not seeing each other anymore. We have no romantic interest in each other anymore, we have separate rooms, and separate bathrooms.

Yes, I am CURRENTLY living with my ex. She can't afford a place on her own, even though her disability FINALLY got approved. But before that, we split amicably, and she had no income of her own. So--what--I should toss her out on the street? Maybe if she had been cheating on me, or started doing drugs--but it wasn't like that. We just slowly grew apart.

I had one guy who after the third date started criticizing the car I drove, the computer I had, where I lived, just everything in my life like I was a idiot and couldn't make a good choice if my life depended on it. He just couldn't grasp the concept that I didn't NEED big, fine and fancy and was happier having everything PAID for over having the biggest and best and being in debt to have it. How I lived worked for me and has for most of my life so since all my choices were a problem to him only, I made the choice to dump him..

This is a good list. I will add:

Finding out he has kids was an absolute deal breaker for me. No thanks!
Seeing a bit too much attachment to mommy.
Talking about ex-gf or wife all the time.

Aside from the obvious pitfalls of any relationship like drugs, poor hygiene or disloyalty, I would say someone who shows signs of being selfish. If I have to do all of the chasing...calling first, emailing first, setting up dates, then I get the impression that she's not all that interested. If she can't remember things we've talked about or is constantly looking over my shoulder or taking cell phone calls while out on a date, that's a big turn-off. Of course I haven't had a new relationship in several years, but those things would be my peeves.
