Even if you disagree with your partner, it's important to remember that they are your number one. While this certainly doesn't mean you can't disagree on things, it does mean that you should never belittle or embarrass your partner in front of others. When choosing a long-term partner, make sure your SO is kind and supportive of you in front of other people, even if they disagree with what you're saying or doing. A common scenario in which this issue can rear its ugly head? In front of parents.
