Partners should explicitly communicate their requirements and deal breakers at the beginning of a relationship to avoid future conflict or confusion.

“Those kinds of requirements should be communicated at the outset of the relationship. You shouldn't have even had the opportunity to break up with anybody because you should have communicated that in the very beginning.”

Expecting a partner to cook is acceptable if the man is providing financial security for the household.

“If you want me to cook, provide the money for me to cook. Provide the money for me to go out shopping and buy food and I'll happily cook it.”
