TBH, The Ultimatum on Netflix brought up a loooooootta questions.

The latest reality TV show gripping the nation is The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On. It's exactly what it sounds like...couples who aren't engaged yet (because one partner is hesitant) date other people for a month and then decide whether or not to get married. It's WILD.

The show has people talking about "dealbreakers" in relationships, though. When is an issue too big to continue dating someone? At what point would you refuse to get engaged to someone based on a trait or disagreement?

So here are some scenarios (some of which are directly inspired by the show). Imagine you've been with someone for two years, and you either have to get married or break up... tell us if you think you'd marry the person, or move on in each case:
