And I discovered in this time that there was one trait in a woman that I absolutely must have to be in a relationship with her, and it was something that I would never compromise on again (and I haven’t). Some of us are unwilling to compromise on superficial traits: looks, intelligence, education, etc. Those are important, but if there’s one trait that I’ve learned you should never compromise on, it’s this: The ability to see one’s own flaws and be accountable for them. Because the fact is that problems are inevitable. Every relationship will run into fights and each person will run up against their emotional baggage at various times.
