Relationships aren't always easy, and while there are some things your partner does that might annoy you from time to time, there are other personality traits and habits that are romance-ending dealbreakers.
And according to new data, many of these absolute dealbreakers are shared by people up and down the country - with more than two-thirds agreeing on the number one reason to get rid of a partner.
So what are the top relationship dealbreakers for Brits?
Perhaps unsurprisingly, most of us can't stand it when our partner tells little white lies, and when we find out the truth, there's often not enough trust left to continue the romance.
In data released by Northerner UK, around 66% of people asked said they would give their partner the boot if they found out they were a liar.
And while no one likes being lied to, it seems your shower habits could also put your relationship at risk, as a whopping 58% of Brits would also show their partner the door if they had bad hygiene.
Elsewhere on the list of biggest dealbreakers, half of Brits asked said they would ditch a partner who drank too much, and one in three said a smoking habit would be enough to put them off for life.
Rounding out the top five was flirty behaviour, as people said they would terminate a relationship if their partner was constantly flirting with other people - even if it didn't result in cheating.
According to the research, people would also ditch their partner if they didn't have a job, were a bad listener, didn't want to meet their friends or family, were constantly on their phone, or even if they went to too many parties.
Markus Lindblad, from Northerner, said: "It's really interesting to see what some of the biggest reasons are for ending relationships here in the UK. Lies is a huge umbrella term that covers lots of problems so it's clear why this came in as number one. Other habits such as bad hygiene, drinking and smoking are all factors that could be changed if you wanted to save a relationship.
"Smoking in particular is something that also has very negative effects on your health and well-being and the smart choice, both for your own wellbeing and your relationship is to switch to less harmful nicotine products such as nicotine pouches. A smarter, smokeless, form of nicotine that thousands of Brits now are discovering."
The top 10 reasons for ending a relationship in the UK were:
