Never say never

We've all been there: Seconds after a breakup, you make your list of "nevers."

"I'll NEVER date somebody without a job again."

"I'll NEVER date somebody who doesn't call me every day."

"I'll NEVER date somebody who doesn't like my dog."

If you're lucky, you stick to the promise, using your "nevers" to bring you one step closer to happiness.

But in most cases -- unless it relates to something really extreme -- your once adamant "never" is quickly buried under the denial rug in your new relationship.

You tell yourself that everybody's different, that even though this partner annoys you, he's nowhere near as bad as the guy you last dated. Besides, "never" only constrains you.

Right?

We've all dabbled in the world of relationship "nevers," which is part of the reason why this article about Christie Brinkley saying she'd never marry again has gotten so much attention.

What's the biggest relationship "never" you've kept? What's the biggest one you've broken?
