There are some things you can accept from a partner that the girl next door would never ever accept,It may not be a big deal to you but it could be a breaking point to another. Can i first of all say that we all have baggage? Yep! even you! However, the beauty of a good relationship is to know your “baggage limit” and follow someone with a baggage you can handle like what are the things you cannot compromise on, from a partner? Could be from their past, their values e.t.c I am big on Integrity, so if I marry someone who doesn’t really give a damn about that, guess what? that could be a major source of conflict between us.
When you meet someone you want to get serious with, it is okay to look through their baggage claim and ask yourself, Can i take this? The only problemis that nowadays, we are pressured by society and everyone to not focus on what is important to us when it comes to people’s baggage, instead we are told to manage it, package it, even when it is overweight with excess luggage, we settle for it and hope the baggage would get lighter as we go on and that is a recipe for disaster
