A woman with integrity is one who always tries to do the right thing.
And of course she wants a like-minded partner.
That’s why she won’t stay quiet and pretend she’s okay when her partner does something that goes against her values, especially when her actions directly affect her!
Do you want to know what an honest woman will never put up with in a relationship?
Here are 10 of them.
1) Cheating
A woman with integrity cannot stay in a relationship if she knows her partner is cheating on her.
She certainly knows that there are many legitimate reasons why someone might cheat, so she will try to forgive her partner if he promises not to do it again.
But she will only do it once.
If it happened again, they would abandon them in a heartbeat no matter how much they loved them.
Trust is extremely important for a woman with integrity.
If she can’t trust her partner to be loyal to her, she’d really rather find someone else who can.

They know that their life will be a living hell if they remain committed to someone who cannot commit!
2) Lying in any way, manner or method
Whether it’s a white lie or a red lie, a little lie or a big lie – an honest woman won’t put up with any of it!
After all, she’d rather be happily single than stuck in an abusive relationship!
So when her partner screams “You’re a dirty pig!”, she won’t take it seriously.
When her partner tries to slap or punch her, she takes it as a sign that he may actually be physically abusive.
She was going to talk to them about it. If things don’t change, she will pack her bags and leave.
She will also not hesitate to call the police when she is exposed to any kind of physical abuse.
5) Body shame
Some women may be able to fake a laugh when their partner jokes about how ugly their nose is or that they are fat like a whale.
But not women with integrity!
Even though she is confident in her appearance and their comments do not affect her self-esteem at all, she remains angry – or rather, agitated.
It’s just against her principles.
She believes that no one should shame anyone for their appearance – especially if they have no control over it.
So when her partner jokes about her hairy arms or their neighbor’s fat baby, she scolds them even if it looks like she’s “killing the joy” of doing so.
6) Threats and intimidation
“If you’re not going to make love to me, we’d better break up.”
“Try to cross my limits and you will regret it!”
A woman with integrity will consider these statements as red flags, and will make sure that she and her partner have a serious discussion about this topic.
She wouldn’t let anyone feel comfortable intimidating her, especially her partner!
Threats and intimidation are things that controlling and disrespectful people do…and she doesn’t want any of that.
7) Masculinity
If her partner acts superior just because he’s a man, she’ll raise her eyebrows and laugh out loud.
A woman of integrity cannot tolerate men who think a woman’s place is in the kitchen.
She was going to give him a long lecture about equality and respect so he would realize how annoying and dangerous his opinions were.
But if she thinks it’s a hopeless case, she’ll give it up.
Why stay with someone who doesn’t see her as an equal?
She loves and respects herself and her partner should do the same.
8) Manipulation
A woman with integrity doesn’t plan.
She doesn’t blame anyone for favors. She does not use triangulation to get ahead of others.
It’s just not in her DNA!
That’s why the moment she notices her partner using manipulative techniques on her (or others), she stops and thinks.
She was asking herself if she could really live with someone like this.
If their partner is using manipulation over little things — like making them feel guilty so they can decide what TV show to watch — they may let it slide.
But if it’s about the big things — like playing the victim until you let them borrow $10,000 — you’ll criticize them for their behavior.
9) Over-reliance
If she feels like she’s carrying the weight of two people, she’ll put that heavy weight down and say, “Wait a minute, something’s not right!”.
She would be understanding if her partner was out of work for a few months…

But if it’s been more than a year and he’s comfortable getting freebies from her?
Nah!
She wants a partner who knows how to pull his weight, from finances to household chores.
She won’t hesitate to have a serious talk with them even if it’s a sensitive topic because she knows she deserves to be with a partner, not a child.
10) Repeating bad behavior
While a woman of integrity has high standards, she is also very patient.
She knows that a good relationship takes a lot of work, and that includes talking about differences and behaviors she won’t tolerate.
So, if her partner does any of the things on this list, she will contact her directly about it.
She will be very patient in guiding them so that they know how to handle them better. They will also ask them how they can become better partners.
They’re not perfect, after all!
But if their partner keeps repeating the same crimes?
I bolted for the door before they could even say “I’ll never do that again!”

So what does an honest woman want in a partner?
Well…integrity. That’s what!
For her, roses and kisses at six o’clock are nice and all.
But the most important thing is that her partner is a really good person and knows how to treat her (and others) right.
